This isn't courier's fault; it's Outlook's. When the mail client sends a bad address, only that address is rejected by courier. But any the other (correct) addresses and the message itself can still be accepted and the message can still be sent to all the other recipients IF the client wants to. But as soon as Outlook sees an address rejected, it completely stops sending the message and reports an unhelpful "Your message was rejected by the server" error - which is NOT true. Only the one bad address was rejected. As Outlook won't give you any helpful information, I have not found a way to solve this except to scan through the addresses one-by-one in the address book (looking at the "real" email address) until you find the one that is incorrect. When the message was only addressed to a few people that's easy, but when it's addressed to 100 it's a huge pain. <note to self> write MAPI program to scan the Outlook Address book for malformed addresses </note to self> Jeff Jansen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
