My > money's on the former. 84.30.68.3 is certainly my IP, let us check: $ host cm10703-a.maast1.lb.home.nl cm10703-a.maast1.lb.home.nl has address 84.30.68.3 However I am also definitely relaying my mail through my ISPs mailserver 'mail.home.nl'. I use postfix for this. This is configured in postfix's mail.cf file via: 'relayhost = [mail.home.nl]' And if the email address is wrong (or something like that) I always get an 'undeliverable' message from the @home server. Another check: $ host mail.home.nl mail.home.nl has address 213.51.128.65 And I also see this in the headers. Alexander
