I know what the message means -- I spent hours going through sendmail list archives looking for a solution besides "go read the FAQ" (which I've done, and followed, and reiterated multiple times, to no avail). > Maybe you just want to give us some more information about your problem.=20 > To what adress do you send an eMail?

The error message that I get is the typical "mail loops back to me (MX problem?)". I've set up my service.switch file to use /etc/hosts instead of trying to use DNS to resolve the host. Yes, I've read the FAQ, as I stated before. I've followed it. I've searched mailing list archives for the error message. I think the webadmin of theaimsgroup.com honestly believes that I'm trying to DoS their site by now. ;) Thanks in advance for any help with this. --=-RUmfWMfDg3oxU3drR66t Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+osE6UdqurN0fljsRAowKAJ4o6Q9axsnpRCw3JS/VnquSWY9RFgCgmmLe p2szB4mmFzdL2eZbdHHG+ZQ= =oBkE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-RUmfWMfDg3oxU3drR66t--
