[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I have a common problem that I do find back in several FAQ'sbut I don't seem to be able to find the solution. ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- someone@vwhatever.com (reason: system config error) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 553 5.3.5 whatever.com.mydomainname.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?) 554 5.3.5 Someone@whatever.com... Local configuration error I see so many FAQs about this subject but no answer is understandable enough for me to find the solution. I never see mentioned that my domain name is actually added to the address of the person i want to send an email to. The strange thing is: it does not always go wrong !!! If I send an email to any AOL address or hotmail address, it all works fine and people do get the email but every other one (in general overseas) comes back in the way I described. Anyone one any idea ?
