Then you need to talk to your ISP. Do you have shell access? If so, try doing a traceroute to the server. Also, check that your ISP's resolved IP for the host name is correct. I had a person I could not send email too and it was because my ISP had a old DNS record so the mail server IP was pointing into a void. Yes, this shouldnt happen, but sometimes it does. > I felt this might not be the place because I've pretty well ruled out > SIMS as being the problem.

It's leaving trailing quotes that encompass several messages where no effort has been made to trim the excess. Or when mutliple signatures and list headers are left in place. THAT's when it's annoying. (or the guy who used to have 200 blank lines as his signature....) ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
