This test came through ok, even though there were previous lines with unknown users. I did a similar test with Mozilla and it refuses to send the message. Looks to me like a client feature. Not terribly friendly though that it won't tell you which address failed. Note, this is one method of finding which address is bad. I believe the difference in behavior here is that Pilot would accept mail for accounts that had not yet been activated. -- Ed Symanzik MSU Mail Team [log in to unmask]
