Well, my message sent from yahoo did not generate a bounce message, though I haven't verified that it actually got through. Thanks in any case. Paul Meyer

In one recent case I saw, emails sent via AOL were rejected (554 The message was rejected because it contains prohibited virus or spam content - 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable). The apparent symptom was that the plain text messages each contained a URI. The real cause was probably a configuration issue at the target system coupled with that system being flagged by Spamhaus. This is similar to what the Rev said. Assuming you sent the message and got an error message back, you can get some clues from that. Good luck. -Andy Rev.
