(v1.62 Christmas Edition) Educational I also tried: X-Mailer: The Bat! I tried both of these in a message with no other headers, and just a single command in the body and they got rejected with the 550 error. Trying a full fledged message without the X-Mailer, and a bare one with "Outlook Express" as the X-Mailer and got no errors at all. So what I'm wondering is, why is The Bat! getting rejected? P.S. I just tried sending THIS message to freebsd-questions and it got rejected from my MUA, so I suspect other freebsd.org lists do the same. I'm only able to send this message by doing it by hand.
