Thanks for the reply. I want to send mail to the postmaster of a host with a broken DNS MX configuration. If I try so send mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, then Courier returns a "This domain's DNS violates RFC 1035." message to me. I checked the domain's DNS MX configuration manually, and it is indeed broken. Is there another way to send mail to "postmaster at IP address"? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
