At first they shrugged it off as a bug in my mail client, but after I told them it happened with four different mail clients in 3 different OSs and insisted that they test it, they admitted that it was a bug in their server. They said that they would be doing major work on their server this spring and that would solve the ASCII 255 problem, so I'm thinking that it's possible that some other ISPs may have the same server configuration, and therefore the same problem.

I think I wrote, in my initial post on the subject, that it occurred with mime attachments. Sorry for the misleading information.

Tyc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Problem with "@list" addresses Hi all, Recently I tried the "address-list" feature of Arachne (i.e., "@list" as the e-mail address, where LIST is a text file in the main Arachne directory and contains one address per line). Arachne inserts "@list" into the "To:" field, which seems to be disliked by some recipients' mail servers: - ----- Forwarded message begin ----- From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The original message was received at Thu, 13 Mar 2003 10:24:13 +0100 from egon.if.pwr.wroc.pl [156.17.68.108] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (reason: 550 Syntax error in 'To' header: no local part: failing address is: @klasa) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- .... while talking to mail.neta-si.us.: >>> DATA <<< 550 Syntax error in 'To' header: no local part: failing address is: @klasa 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable Reporting-MTA: dns; rainbow.if.pwr.wroc.pl Received-From-MTA: DNS; egon.if.pwr.wroc.pl Arrival-Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 10:24:13 +0100 Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.2.0 Remote-MTA: DNS; mail.neta-si.us Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 550 Syntax error in 'To' header: no local part: failing address is: @klasa Last-Attempt-Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 10:25:21 +0100 [Attached file: 475O1O34.RFC] - ------ Forwarded message end ------ Do you know any fix for it?

Best" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Problem with "@list" addresses The problem isn't with Arachne, the problem is with people having their spam filter at the ISP set "on" to moderate or higher. Not having a "correct to:" is one of the triggers for AmaVis virus stuff. Being unable to forward mail to myself using that sortcut was enough to make me stop using the filter. I would suggest that you do two things: Change the name of your mailing list to something other than "list"; write the friend whose mail bounced and have him/her put the new "@newname" on the 'approved' list of the spam filter. ==== On Thu, 13 Mar 2003 11:24:59 +0100, Michal H.
