Hello Andrey G. Sergeev (AKA Andris), On or about Wednesday, February 05, 2003 at 21:14:26GMT +0300 (which was 1:14 PM in the tropics where I live) Andrey G. Sergeev (AKA Andris) postulated:
AGSAA> I have found a bug which prevents messages to be sent to an IP address AGSAA> directly (e.g. mailbox@[192.168.203.12]). Here is a good example. 8< Snipped alot! Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm sure IP addresses are not rout-able as an e-mail recipient. I can't find the appropriate RFC, but I'm sure I read this somewhere. I just tried to send myself a message using my ISP's domain IP and it came back as; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unrouteable address Also the IP of the POP3 server came back; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unrouteable address IP specifics removed to prevent harvesting of data! The error returned in Andrey's message said; AGSAA> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- AGSAA> 550 5.1.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Host unknown (Name server: tp.aaanet.ru.: host not found) AGSAA> ---[Cut]--- This indicates the DNS listing is in error or the domain doesn't exist. This is further supported by; AGSAA> Subject: mail.tp.ru MX record is invalid Am I off base here? -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike Never trust a woman who tells you her real age; if she tells you that, she'll tell you anything.
