Hey, Toby; this address doesn't work: | To: Toby Rider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I asked nslookup about it: > : nslookup -querytype=mx blackmill.net > Server: ns1.dns.rcn.net > Address: 207.172.3.8 > > Non-authoritative answer: > blackmill.net preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.blackmill.net > > Authoritative answers can be found from: > blackmill.net nameserver = lochaber.tullochgorm.com > blackmill.net nameserver = barra.tullochgorm.com > mail.blackmill.net internet address = 207.136.137.70 > lochaber.tullochgorm.com internet address = 207.136.137.69 > barra.tullochgorm.com internet address = 207.136.137.67 When I ran my delivery program with debugging on, it told me that it tried to mail.blackmill.net but didn't get a connection. It then tried a few of the obvious variants, and they all failed. So it sent the message off to a forwarder on a local machine, and it will likely also fail. Wonder what the problem is ... -- Here's the message I tried to send: | Geez.. you have alot of accounts! Well, I know people with a lot more. I've had more at times, when I worked at places with the typical commercial (i.e., very confused) email systems. Also, trillian and ecf-guest are the same machine, with two aliases. The eddie machine is an old, crotchety machine that has been deprecated, but is still there forwarding mail (and acting as the department DNS server). The EE folks fully intend to keep its name in use until we're all dead and gone, since we all know how hard it can be to get people to change their address books. Also, addresses on that machine are in a lot of archives, and it'd be nice if readers could use them decades in the future. This can be useful if you're a university department. The rcn.com address is our local cable-modem service, which gives you email addresses whether you use them or not. I check it at least once a week, just in case. The airbridge address corresponds to my cell phone, a Kyocera smartphone with IP access and a real browser, not to mention PalmABC. I can demo looking a tune up on the web (using my tune finder), copying the tune to the ABC app, which plays it through the phone's tiny speaker. This gets me lots of geek points. But I only check the phone's email once or twice a week, since nobody knows about it yet. And it's a palm-type device, which sorta limits the size of messages, and you can't do much with them except read them and reply, so I probably won't ever use it much. | John Chambers wrote: | > OK, here are my accounts: | > | > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (obsolete) | > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;-) | > | > I also have a couple of yahoo addresses, but I don't intend to send | > anything out from them.
