It means that you either need to patch courier to accept messages in this form or make sure that no programs send out messages addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Cron sends to whatever user you tell it to, usually in the form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". So make sure that 'hostname' returns a machine name that is in your locals file. Fetchmail, I believe, will do the same - it tries to get the 'hostname' and then falls back to "localhost" if it doesn't. (But don't quote me on that.) And while you're checking make sure that programs don't send to "postmaster" or any other address without a fully qualified domain because courier will reject that as well. (In this case I patch courier to accept a bare "postmaster" - but nothing else - because I had some program that insisted on sending it that way. Although I can't even remember any more what that program was. :-) Jeff Jansen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
