(a) The host inst.augie.edu either was unavailable to or through the "network" or it did not have its SMTP (properly) started and/or (b) The two domain names servers were not available, one of which is on the same host as the destination and the other at ns.unl.edu As far as your RENEWAL= is concerned, I don't see any in your list headers. I don't know the side effects if you had one once and have now removed it (and CONFIRM/deletion is pending). /Pete
