When will you ever understand how mail works? Maybe ask your dyslexic
friend Tim.
You MTA uses SMTP to talk to my MTA. Inn the SMTP envelope it uses your
Toy Level Domain. My grown up mailer tries to resolve this envelope
address before it accepts the message. Even sendmail can be easily
configured to do this. Your Toy Level Domain does not resolve. My mailer
gives yours 450 (I think I have convinced it now to give you 550 but I am
not sure, however Wietse Venema has promised it will work in the next
beta) and your mailer tries again.
This has nothing to do with elitist (fairly rich, Roeland, by the way
:-)-O).
I only have to conform to RFCs and whatever else I like is *MY* choice.
If children like to play with Toy Level Domains, I don't have a problem
either, as long as they don't bother me.
If I want to play with Toy Level Domains, I either pull the Stuttering
Root's zone or configure a smart host and dump it there if they let me.
If I don't I don't.
BTW, when am I going to get the log file entry of the message you
allegedly sent me? Ever?
