That's why I'm posting it now to the news group. (see my reply after the session transcript). It looks like your server doesn't recognize my email adress, at least the host part. I have the same email adress since 6 years and it didnt' change. Here is the session transcript of my undelivered reply: Subject: Returned mail: Service unavailable The original message was received at Wed, 30 Sep 1998 10:05:05 +0200 from gatekeeper-ssn.alcatel.fr [155.132.180.244] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to delorie.com.: >>> MAIL From: <<< 550 host art.alcatel.fr does not exist. 554 ...

I don't make a regular use of the news group because it's not so easy for me but it is a lot easier to use the mailing list. It's right also that I should have send it to you directly. By the way, in an other mail, you told me to try the following command: nslookup delorie.com I have the following answer: nslookup: Command not found. All what I can say is that I receive the mail from the mailing list, I can connect without problems on http://www.delorie.com I will try today to send another mail to the mailing list. Sincerely yours, Olivier.
