I htink I get it then ... a typical error message looks like this:

   Received:  from mail24.wlv.netzero.net (209.247.163.76) by

   Hi. This is the NetZero mail server.
   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]>:
   Sorry, User's Disk Quota Exceeded.

   --- Below this line is a copy of the message.

I don't see any numeric error codes at all.  Is that the problem?

Are the error codes nomally in the headers or body of the bounced message?

Thanks.
