"host" in my case is a package that contains: /usr/bin/host /usr/bin/mx /usr/bin/zone /usr/bin/aaaa /usr/bin/txt /usr/bin/ns /usr/bin/soa and replaces the bind9-host package. It just means I can do less typing than when using dig. > But why would this affect catherine's ability to send mail within the > network? I'm mainly interested in stuff sent by cron.

Let's get back to the actual error message you received: > > 550-Verification failed for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > 550-Unrouteable address > > 550 Sender verify failed You can either turn off sender verification or use an address that can be verified. If it's for cron jobs do what I do and use rewriting in Exim's config to make them appear from a standard user. Actually all our servers have a newsgroup on a news server and the root alias is a pointer to some mail to news software that stores them in an INN server. Instant archives and searchable to any staff with a newsreader. Steven. -- I really hate this damned machine I wish that they would sell it.
