Yes, I have always thought that. %host email.abc.net Host not found. %host abc.net abc.net has address 216.201.96.72 abc.net mail is handled (pri=0) by mailin.korax.net %host mail.abc.net mail.abc.net is a nickname for mail.korax.net mail.korax.net has address 216.201.96.57 Telnet to 25 on mail.abc.net is refused. Telnet to 25 on mailin.korax.net gets: 220 mailhub.korax.net ESMTP Postfix %host Computer-Geeks.com Computer-Geeks.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mgw1.geeksnet.com Computer-Geeks.com mail is handled (pri=20) by mail.Computer-Geeks.com %host mail.Computer-Geeks.com mail.Computer-Geeks.com has address 208.34.237.92 %host mgw1.geeksnet.com mgw1.geeksnet.com has address 208.34.239.9 Some more banners: 220 mgw1.geeksnet.com - ESMTP - Postfix - Attn: SPAMMERS will be pursued. 220 X1 NT-ESMTP Server mail.computer-geeks.com (IMail 6.06 214419-5) There is no such host as email.abc.net. abc.net does use Postfix, but it is not even the same net block as Computer-Geeks.com. Nothing seems to match up between the banners he sent and what I can collect. In the end I can only guess this is some other IMail machine, and hope that he is in control of it because that is where a lot of people join this list from. With that educated guess, I am looking at this as an IMail issue on his internal server, and not a Postfix issue. --Eric
