I'm not sure I follow you here. The only double-bounce scenario I can think of is if one of my users mistypes his email address in his MUA and then tries to send email to a non-existent address. When my MTA attempts to send the message, it should get a 550 from the recipient MTA. The message will never leave my servers unless the recipient MTA accepts mail for the invalid user. If the recipient MTA does accept the message and then bounce it, the bounce will be rejected by my network. This isn't a major problem. If the user has his MUA misconfigured this way, then no one will be able to reply to him either and he should notice and fix the problem soon enough. (or, more likely, call me to figure out why he is "not getting his email") Bowie ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
