Why? Mail to SLUG seems fine. Additional info: I get the following mail to root.... The original message was received at Sat, 5 May 2001 23:12:19 +1000 from mikel@localhost ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Host unknown (Name server: uts.edu.au: no data known) [ Part 2: "Delivery Status" ] Reporting-MTA: dns; tazieff.speleonics.com.au Arrival-Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 23:12:19 +1000 Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.1.2 Remote-MTA: DNS; uts.edu.au I presume its trying to do a DNS lookup of uts.edu.au which does not resolve as only www.uts.edu.au resolves. I tested that with a ping and nslookup. But for mail that is a valid mail address. Well Its me !
