> The NIC says these TARLETON.EDU doesn't exist. > If they don't exist, then where do these messages/files come from ??? You mean you're getting mail from there? As of 1968 there was no college or university named Tarleton in either the US or Canada. I don't have a more recent list handy. There *is* however a BITNET node named TARLETON. It seems like a good bet that somebody at TARLETON has misconfigured their mailer in anticipation of a domain registration that is still in the works. John
