Hello all
Today a user at our site sent me the error message included below
for an explaination as to why it failed. If you look at the headers in
the message you'll notice that the line that specifies who the message
is for is different to what the error message indicates and that of the
message's To: line. The log (below) would appear to only indicate the
"hotrail.com" address.... uuuhhh.....

H=ems2.glam.ac.uk [193.63.150.65]
P=esmtp S=1069 id=EB62C0C34246D111A39A00805FA6A85519B483@EMS2 for
auser@???
1998-06-01 13:05:48 0ygTLY-0002Fy-00 ** auser@???: unrouteable
mail domain "hotrail.com"
1998-06-01 13:05:49 0ygTLY-0002Fy-00 Error message sent to
ggiles@???
1998-06-01 13:05:49 0ygTLY-0002Fy-00 Completed
Is there an obvious answer and my brain is addled or is there
something more sinister happening.
It's probably to do with the different To: headers (envelope etc...)
