Biology Lines: 16 Rayan: Thanks for the entertaining reply (particularly the .signature!). As you say, it's the "all bets are off" area that you want to avoid. Would ZMailer reconstruct the To: line by placing some bogus address? BTW, I'm I misunderstood which direction the error was going. <> can be replaced with an alias to an address linked to /dev/null, if need be. The goal of <> was to keep error messages from looping. If a message is bounced back to your site, and you throw it away, it may be the best you can do (for example converting <> to bionet!nobody would be fair for a UUCP gateway). -- Eliot Lear [lear@turbo.bio.net]
