This message will verify. My mail client was setting the "Reply-To:" header on mail in this folder to whatever was in the "To:" field. I'm sure the list is blocking mail that has a "Reply-To" set to it's own address -- smart thing to do -- loop prevention. Inadvertantly checked box in my mail client <sigh>. Scott replied to the direct copy of my other message with the pertinent points so I won't copy the whole thing here. Time to go beat on my hosting server about the MX records. They both point to the same IP -- I have no idea why they did that <sigh>. Gerald -- Gerald V.
