Poor alum wouldn't have a clue what to do with a bounced email. Like PCs on many home LANs, it only sends. When I'm at home, all my emails leave this one PC as it makes filing and backing up the Sent-mail copies easier. So what you see there is mutt on alum sending an email to exim on alum which will rewrite the From as an address in the UK. Again, it would be pointless to bounce mail back to the point at which it enters the Internet, my ISP, as it would never get seen by me (assuming they found somewhere to stick it). Cheers, David.
