Sorry--I forgot that "dropped" has a specific meaning. It's been a while since my early days on the net when one of my preferred email clients was called telnet. :) The SMTP connection was gracefully closed, although in this particular server's case the error message sounded like I should expect a visit from the police any minute. I'm not sure what SMTP server that was, but given my terminology mistake I suppose it's not relevant. Nevertheless, when I sent an email with a bad "To:" email address, Thunderbird never received an error from the server, in spite of an SMTP connection that was presumably closed with an error message. I believe I should pay Thunderbird's bug tracker a visit on this one. --Ole _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
