I'm in a REALLY bad mood, so I appologize in advance if I seem kind of harsh with this reply. ><<This is the same problem that is causing some of us to be "bounced" off >the >leg list when you send posts to the list.

A quick look at your headers reveals that the mail server is complaining of a situation that pretty much does in fact exist... only the mail server is too f-ing stupid to deal with it. Look at your headers, you will find that you have the following: >From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Funny, the mail server is saying that you can't have your address follow your address (because the RFCs say one address is allowed in a FROM line, and only one address... an email can't be from two people). Go into your Account settings for this account, and change the User Name field to something other than "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The problem should be solved. >My suggestion is that you update to a current email program as the one you >are using has been discontinued and was last updated in '98. Is it >possible >for you to upgrade?>> My suggestion back to this guy is: Take your head out of your ass and stop blaming Emailer for something that it has NOTHING to do with. It is a misconfigured SMTP server that is treating the leading, quote enclosed email address, as the FROM address, rather than properly seeing it for what it is... a quote enclosed tag string (usually a name, but since it is just a tag, it should be ignored because it can contain anything it damn well wants to). Ok, I feel a bit better now... thanks :-) (and no, none of this shitty attitude it directy at you Norma, you are an innocent bystander to the whole thing) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
