If the SMTP line is logged, the remote mail server has reported OK status. If this is really a remote mail server, you can still see an error coming from it even if it accepted the message. If this is your mail server on the local net, you should be fine. In case the user doe not exist in the remote mail server, the SMTP will never be logged in the SMAIL log. Also, you have to parse for LOCAL lines. - Davide - 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]
