There are two issues that has been reported. One is a DNS issue, where XMail pukes on misconfigured DNS. The version I posted yesterday implements a fall-back to non-authoritative name servers in case the authoritative one is wrong. Now both greenbaycc.org and intergraonline.com resolve fine. The other issue is the hotmail one (not really hotmail related though), where long/strange responses case make the pieces in the middle choke. Since I (and thousands of other XMail setups) never reported the issue (also, my GF has an hotmail account, so I think I'm positive I have no issues ;), I am very sure that it is not XMail related. - 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]
