So valid, existing addresses all around, then? In that case, it sounds like whoever minds the domains you mention would have some explaining to do. It could be that they have joined the school of thought that considers any low volume sender domain part of the discardable background noise or that they have signed up for a service that operates on that principle. Anyway, I would want a full explanation of what happens at their end. - Peter -- Peter N. M.
