TTQ B4U Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I sent and email to this guy and got this and am wondering if it just means he's not there any more or what? It's different than a typical bounce-back like he is no longer working there. What's your thought on the below? The following recipient(s) could not be reached: shughes@intramail.brueggers.net on 6/24/2008 5:42 PM A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients.

Guest mrhobbz Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 They may need to check their MX records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrhobbz Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 English for the technically challenged man What's that mean? Actually it may not be an MX problem. More than likely their mail server is forwarding it and epicly failing. In engrish, call them and tell them to fix their mail server.

I think it could be possible that a MX is screwed up but since it looks more like a routing error threw multiple mailservers I would say someone has a smarthost configged wrong. 10 print "I'm a Mailserver" 20 goto 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
