Thanks Zenon. Sound advise to revisit first things first. Everything you have described below is logical. In fact on performing the latter part of your test, I *do* get an error, and it looks like this:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 ni-wumpf.com ESMTP helo localhost 250-ni-wumpf.com Ok. 250-XVERP=Courier 250-XEXDATA 250-XSECURITY=NONE,STARTTLS 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250 DSN mail From: <ace@localhost> 517 Syntax error. Hmmm... What the heck did I do wrong on this? I know that those darn "<"'s can get me but... Any idea of what this means? Oddly enough, I have run tests repeatedly prior to this that sent mail from external accounts to a valid user on the system, and the inbound mail looks good. -Ace > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:courier-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Zenon Panoussis > Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 1:29 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [courier-users] Re: Courier does not deliver mail - > courieresmtp spins on each outbound message > > > David Humphrey wrote: > > > But I can't figure out what!
