I transfered the zone info using NSLOOKUP to one of its authoritative name servers. I suspect that the user or sysadmin misconfigured their SENDMAIL, or the hostmaster of the DNS misconfigured the "A" record. The host that I found had a similar "sounding" name: ohmy.internet.com **** I suggest that you e-mail the user, as well as POSTMASTER to inquire if that is the correct spelling. BTW, I tried to VRFY the userid johnmcg and it did not, so I may be "all wet" with my analysis! -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "I get paid by the Byte" +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
