Thank you John...I did misspeak however...I am using MD through my web host rather
than my ISP. Does this mean that THEY are using a "wacky mail transfer agent"? No
one else using MD at the web host seems to be having the same problem. And if you
are talking about my ISP regardless, this only happens occasionally. To my
knowledge, I have changed nothing in the config since the last successful mailing
to the list.
Also, where are you finding the reference to DSMTP? Where can I find the same
reference? Or know that it's being used?
One more question...By "out of the standard order" -- what do you mean? Can you
give me an example? Is it something in the config, or something intrinsic to my
mail program? Or is it invoked only through the AOL server?
Thank you for your help.
