Someone was recently trying to send mail to my site (not the one I'm
posting from now) and got the following error messages:

  ----- Transcript of session follows -----
451 makeconnection: server "smtp" unknown: Invalid argument
554 saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu.tcp... 554 System file missing
554 <katrina@waltham.columbus.oh.us>... System file missing
 
Anybody know what that means?

She is able to send mail to this account:
scasterg@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu, which is how she informed me about
the error, so I am surprised that she can't send to
waltham.columbus.oh.us, since waltham is a uucp node that is MX
forwarded through cis.ohio-state.edu (i.e., at the same site).

Other sites are able to send mail to waltham with no problem.

Thanks.
