What is "linux 6.1?" (did you mean Redhat 6.1 by chance, hmm?). A
minor point, but be careful if you slip up like that on a list devoted
to linux.

They might be even more pertinent if you had not decided to munge all
the useful data!

You are sending mail remotely from a qmail system to an alleged
sendmail system (I say alleged since you've again munged all useful
data, so I can't double-check), and the remote system is rejecting the
mail after the recipient is specified. Assuming that the remote
system is _not_ qmail, and I'm pretty sure it isn't, your problem has
absolutely nothing to do with qmail.

atoka-software.com does not have any wildcard MXs. I'm pretty confused
as to what that mail server is thinking. I think some more info is
needed.
