If your server does not reply "550" or any other number, the other party does not know that an error occured and will wait fo a reply. If courier would just drop the connection, this would be "any" connection issue and the other party will retry later. This is a very bad idea because non-spam-messages that are misspelled will be held in the other party's queue for a number of days and the sender will never ever get any reasonable message but only a "giving up" some days later. If you do that (must be done in the sourcecode), you'll break some rules of communication in the internet. Not good... If you hack courier to just reply "550" without further information, then everything works ok, but senders to missspelled addresses don't get helpful information about their mistake. cu, Bernd -- Wenn ich mit meiner Relativitätstheorie recht behalte, werden die Deutschen sagen ich sei Deutscher, und die Franzosen, ich sei Weltbürger.
