I've got a mailing list on one of my servers that appears to have a bunch of xtra subscribers on it. Postings to the list get sent to about the first 10 xtra users, and then I start getting: I had someone come up to me with this too. Apparently when they rang up the helpdesk about it they were told it wasn't xtra's problem. All I did was suggest they forward the bounce to postmaster(a)xtra hoping someone does read email there.

With the 2 examples I saw, it was bouncing emails sent to domains that were not hosted at xtra. However emails were sent by xtra customers using xtra's smtp server. One of them tried xtra's smtp server after they had a problem sending from their own in-house smtp server (thus eliminating perhaps a possible problem with their server).

I'll try to get the actual bounce emailed to me. I think it said something about being unable to relay email

Hmmm, perhaps Xtra subscribe to ORBS, and have blacklisted their own server..... ;)

/sv_tui_ad Yeah. Right. Looks like its a transient error, one which could be caused by the backoff limits we've got in place. Simon, do you know how many concurrent smtp connections was your server attempting to open? --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
