Either the issue John refers to has been corrected in the last 20
minutes or Outlook 2000 shows some strange information. My tests with
Outlook 2003 (the mail client everybody should use) give me an error
message that shows ALL of the bad addresses I attempted to send messages
to.
Example:
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
[log in to unmask] on 3/26/2004 1:17 PM
550 unknown user [log in to unmask]
[log in to unmask] on 3/26/2004 1:17 PM
550 unknown user [log in to unmask]
...

OK, I tested it with Outlook 2000 (the mail client nobody should use).
The error message that comes back does include the bad address. Only the
first bad address is listed, but I don't see that as a big problem.
Hats off to the mail team! New system is great, Spam Assassin is
killing off 80 spams/day for me, and only missing a few. It's like going
back in time to when email wasn't a big distraction.
