I did get with their ISP and included log files with time/date and all
that good stuff. No response yet (it's been a couple weeks).

There isn't a bounce as the message is 0 bytes.

Basically, the traffic goes like this, from the remote machine:

---
HELO mail.nowhere.com
MAIL From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<snip, more of the same, 30 lines worth or so>
RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
---

Hmmm, could be sendmail cutting off the message because of too many RCPTs
I suppose... You know, it's always easier to the find the answer by trying
to explain the problem to someone else. :)

Thanks!
