Dave,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Firstly, let me just point out that I'm using vpopmail so I need to use $EXT
rather than $USER to get the "local" e-mail address.

That aside, the main problem is that forward re-writes the recipient to be
"$[EMAIL PROTECTED] .  This causes the ms mail gateway to reject the
message since it only accepts messages for the domain "eoc.org.uk".

I'm doing some testing using a "test" virtualdomain "test.dom".  Here's a
sample error message:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at candace.eoc.org.uk.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
172.16.65.8 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 551 relaying denied
Giving up on 172.16.65.8.

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

Have you any further thoughts?

Cheers,
