The obvious question is: Why are you enclosing e-mail addresses in quotes? Sendmail is treating the quoted address as a single token when it runs it through its rulesets. This causes "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to be interpreted as an unqualified local address, so Sendmail adds the local domain name to qualify the address. -- Chip Old (Francis E.
