Question: do any tools exist for determining that node? You can use nslookup to find the MX relay host for your target. Many hosts down here are in the DNS but don't actually connect to the net (ie. similar to usage of UUCP in the State etc.). If you can't get it through the MX gateway, you can always drop the postmaster on that host a line to find out why. ___ David J.
