I believe we resolved the Internic mail delivery problem by fixing a reverse
lookup problem (as suggested by Ben Pepa) caused by my ISP having a reverse
entry for my IP address pointing to his server. The Internic mail now
delivers fine. However, I am still having delivery problems with one inbound
message and 1 outbound message. I've included the bounced read error message
below and the maillog messages from the inbound and outbound message
failures.

Thanks for any help or insight

Harry
