Hmmm... interesting... this may be an important piece to the puzzle because I was looking through the postmaster account and found an error message that reported that this user's account does not exist (553 was the error code). I noticed that the user's email was using an older domain we used to use (which I handle as a custdomain) and that the user *does* exist in the "real" domain (that receives the mail sent to the custdomain). So... i'm thinking there might be some conflict between the "real" account name (which is 'karen') and the custdomain (which uses the account name 'karen') but the "maximum tentatives reached" message was for the alias I set up 'kfields' for the "real" domain. oh my... i think my head is going to explode. Here's a summary... [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> 553 error - user's account does not exist. the rgbonline.com domain is handled as a custdomain [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the account that would get mail sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an alias to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is getting the 'maximum tentatives reached' error). I'll look at this as possible conflict ../dave > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
