Looking at what MAILER-DAEMON sent back to you: > ----- The following addresses had transient non-fatal errors ----- > <cannara@ibm.net> > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > <cannara@ibm.net>... Deferred: Connection reset by in6.ibm.net. > Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours > Will keep trying until message is 1 week old It looks like some of these inN.ibm.net serves are immediately teminating SMTP connections, right now in1, in3, in6 and in7.ibm.net are exhibiting this behavior. Usually if a box is overloaded it will refuse connections, so there may be a system or software problem over there. They will need to fix it, and hopefully should be well aware that this is a problem. --Sam ############################################################################ # Network Operations | include portion of original | # # Best Internet Communications | email in any response | # ############################################################################
