Hi:

Periodically I find a site will say relaying not permitted which can mean
the user-id does not exist and the site is too stupid to come out and say
so, or more frequently, that the site's mail system is having a rough day
and refusing to accept mail for anyone on it due to a sick mail system,
or a required file having vanished or something.

You could try writing to the postmaster at the site in question but are
likely to find even postmaster mail is not being relayed.

Interesting that your subscribers on that complaining site are still
getting their mail from your list even though their site is saying it is
not relaying the mail.

Usually these kind of errors get fixed by the site admin at the
complaining site sooner or later, but in the meantime they are enough to
drive a listowner up the wall and across the ceiling!

Good luck.

Brian
