Thanks Dan, but the sending server and receiving server are one and the
same... I would assume that in that situation, either the server would send
a rejection message or reject the message from the get-go, which would mean
the mail client would generate an error.. correct?

:Harry,

:If a mail server does not accept the message, it is the responsibility of
:the SENDER (sending SMTP server), to return the message, with an
:explaination (should be something like 'invalid user' in this
:case). Only if
:IMail accepted the message, then could not deliver it, would it take
:responsibility for sending the failure (postmaster) message.

:Check the sending server!
