Is that what you mean? Now this is weird! Must be sendmail just appending the domain name from the host the message was read at.. Here it said my host, and on your machine your host.. So, I am not really sure were that message came from. I did not get a copy of that message, so perhaps it isn't that script at all. If it was that script, I would assume I would have gotten a bounce like you did as well. So, I don't think that is what it was, sorry about that. seeing my host is there threw me off. Jim
