As far as Emailer is concerned, yes, the message was sent. A message is marked as sent (and filed) when Emailer successfully hands it off to the mail server. After that, Emailer has no idea what happens to the message. In this case, the final recipient's mail server is rejecting the email, so you are getting this message back (commonly refered to as a "bounce"). The error message in this case is created by your ISP's mail server (att.net's server). The basic complaint is that the recipient's mail server doesn't like your email address, and so is refusing to accept the mail. I'm not exactly sure what about the address it doesn't like. For a first step in trying to fix it, I would completely delete the email address from your account settings (hilite the whole field, and hit delete a few times... make sure anything including invisible control characters have been deleted). Then retype the return address and try sending again. Its possible you just have a stray invisible character in there, and since you are sending to a server that may not use US-ASCII character sets, it might be choking on something that other servers ignore. For kicks, I just telnetted to mail.snafu.net and started a mail exchange with your from address and using the to address you were trying to send to. It accepted both and was going to allow me to create and send a message (don't worry, I didn't, I reset the stream and quit the connection). So that kind of does tell me that there is something stray in your return address that isn't visible, and I would try the retype fix I mentioned above. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
