What is the mx record for galactica? Do you have a domain hosted on bebo and some users from that domain on galactica? If so, you will need to either accept [EMAIL PROTECTED] on galactica (and nothing else) or rewrite their addresses to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > any ideas?? i figure its a procmail thing..or is sendmail misconfigured? Almost definately a mta problem (e.g. sendmail). If the above doesn't help I would need to see your sendmail config files (including /etc/mailname). /Allan -- Allan M.
