Obviously not, since the bounce didn't come from suse.com. The headers say it was fetched with fetchmail from a btinternet.com server and that the original address is william.taylor14@btopenworld.com

cc to suse-linux-e-owner@suse.com, who should have gotten the report in the first place

Right. Ive taken care of it. Henne -- ******************** * * (oo) * * * * (( \/ ) * * * * (~)(~) * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * Regards, SuSE * * Postmaster Team * ********************

I don't believe most newcomers would install and use fetchmail. Most would use kmail or evolution to get their mail and those would not be affected by a mailserver. This is a case of someone trying to be more clever than he is

Yes sytem generated mail will also not go but that would not make a diff since it would not help the new comer to understand what it all says.

Mmmm... dunno :-? I think it might be better to configure the mail server only for local delivery, listening only on 127.0.0.1. That should be enough. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Just to add my bit.

I received two of these overnight in respect to a post I had made to the list and the second one related to a response to the original query. John __________ This email has been pre-scanned using the latest Anti Virus software for your peace of mind.
