Either the DNS that's responsible for that domain had a problem, or you try to use a non-existing domain. It's impossible to tell if you munge the info. Theo -- Theo v.

Or perhaps the message envelope_from does not match the 'From: ' address in the header. ?? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org icq#173753138

The From: address is not /in/ the header, it's in the body.. SMTP doesn't do anything with From:, Reply-To: etc. Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven Registered Linux user# 99872 http://counter.li.org ICBM 52 13 27N , 4 29 45E. SuSE 8.0 x86 Kernel k_Athlon 2.4.19-4GB See headers for PGP/GPG info.
The From:, subject: and To: are most definitely in the message header. Here is a URL describint the mbox format: http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/mbox.html In brief general terms. Every line in an email message from the beginning of the message to the first blank like is in the header. SMTP does not process the From:, and the From: line may even be added by the MTA (eg. sendmail). If you want to know more about SMTP: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt It's quite dry. "Theo v.

Yes but *not* in the SMTP header (envelope) however, which is what this was all about.

Which is what I ment. When you look at a SMTP conversation you'll notice that From: etc won't come up until the data portion. Because the OP was describing a SMTP convers I pointed out that From: has nothing to do with his problem of the complaining DNS.

As it should be for RFCs. But I understand SMTP well enough for my purposes, thank you. Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven Registered Linux user# 99872 http://counter.li.org ICBM 52 13 27N , 4 29 45E. SuSE 8.0 x86 Kernel k_Athlon 2.4.19-4GB See headers for PGP/GPG info.
