The Forward has the wrong address. The first one could expand to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED] ' (see the Postmasters address!).
>>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a valid address on another non-mail mail server. Why
does Imail expand it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have other forwards to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" that work.

Remove the first address in the Forward and all should be OK.

That's what I did a little while ago. However, he swears this have been
working for months.
