Most don't accept bogus domains, it helps cut down on spam. But, on your system that isn't working, now, are you sending via the same SMTP server? It's not just the end recipient that *might* refuse fake domains, it's all the SMTP servers it goes through. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
