I received the following bounce a few days back, and don't quite understand what it means. This is what dig returns for that particular hosted domain:

I thought that that was a legal. Anyway, the bounce message is listed below. Let me know if you know anything. Also, one last thing, why do bounce messages only come to me, the postmaster, and not to the user who sent the message as well? thanks, Dustin C.
