Sorry Sam. I replied to you directly instead of replying back to the  
mailing list.
ok below is the text from a telnet session with one of the  
problematic servers. I again replaced my client info with fake info.
If I am leaving out an SMTP command or this isn't the exact way that  
Courier talks to other mail servers, please let me know and I will  
retry the telnet session.
Thanks
