Long and windy as it is, it would be an improvement over some of the
     error messages that come back.

Dear Listowners,

        FWIW.  It seems that error messages, lately, seem to be getting a little
"user friendly."  Are some of you seeing the same things that I am?  I get a
kick out of some mailer daemons in how they communicate their problems back
to me. Instead of "mailbox full," or "user unknown," etc..,  take a look at
this one:

"Hi. This is the qmail-send program at relay05.netaddress.usa.net.  I'm
afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This
is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[log in to unmask]>:
207.205.100.50 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 <[log in to unmask]>... Account terminated
Giving up."
