my mail daemon doesn't like recipient ?
I seem to receive most of my mail, but some isn't coming through. For example, sending to me from yahoo, my sister received the bounce message: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [her address] Subject: failure delivery Content-Length: 1069 Message from yahoo.com. Unable to deliver message to the following address(es). [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 146.186.61.98 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 relaying to hawk@fac13.ds.psu.edu prohibited by administrator Giving up on 146.186.61.98. Is this *my* machine refusing to talk to yahoo? Have they been rbl'd or some such? She's not the only one that gets messages like this. hawk

It's apparent that the MTA on 146.186.61.98 (a.k.a fac13.ds.psu.edu) is rejecting mail address to user 'hawk'. Have they been rbl'd or some such? She's not the only one that gets messages like this.

It's apparent that the MTA on 146.186.61.98 (a.k.a fac13.ds.psu.edu) is rejecting mail address to user 'hawk'. But it's not rejecting all of it; just some. The debian list always comes through, for example (at least I think it's always). aack. Now bells ring. The actual address of this machine is fac13.ds.psu.edu. The machine calls itself hawkins.ds.psu.edu, which is an alias at the psu nameserver for this machine. grepping /etc/* and /etc/*/* for fac13 yeilds nothing . . . There used to be a question during mail installlation as to whether or not there were other names which might be on incoming mail; I don't recall answering this. I assume I need to change *something* in my mail configuration . . . Have they been rbl'd or some such? She's not the only one that gets messages like this. I'll Cc: the offensible address, to see what I get. I got two copies instead of 3 . . .
