Otherwise, if you forward mail through other server, you should have local mailbox for mails that could not be sent outside. What should courier do with mail that can't be delivered nor bounced, drop it? That way you would not know about any problem and your mail would be lost without any track of the problem. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [email protected] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
