That's a different issue. When a remote mail server attempts to deliver a message to us, we check whether we *could* deliver a bounce message to it, if we can't actually deliver their message to its final destination. In this case, we discover that we couldn't. It's a common spammer trick to send messages from invalid non-existent addresses. So we say 'no thank you' to the incoming message, because verifying the sender address failed. Without the specific address, it's hard to diagnose further. Perhaps the sender misconfigured his address in setting up Thunderbird, or perhaps there's another problem somewhere which means he'd never get non-delivery notifications from further afield than his own ISP's mail server? > > I'm not sure if the list is the best place to sort it out, > > that's meant to be for discussions about the usage of GiP. > > If I need to, I'll sort out a different email address. > > I won't post d4x's e-mail address in this public list > (at least not without his prior consent), but should > the list maintainer be inclined to debug this, Didn't he already give his consent when he posted to the list? It was going to be visible then... -- dwmw2
