The above header is absolute proof of one thing: mailer2.jaunlet.com.hk does not know that it should treat mail for addresses @jaunlet.com.hk as local. You need something like this in your router: jaunlet.com.hk = mailer2.jaunlet.com.hk >Here is the story: > >I am running 18b8 on a PMac 7200 and SIMS is all it takes care of so far. >I should say I never noticed this problem until one day I tried to set up a >mail account called [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a mirror list account.

The router matches addresses against the left side of router entries and translates them into what is on the right side. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
