example of a message sent to hotmail.co which doesn't exist :
message log :
1998-11-18 11:20:25 jaberel@???: internet router deferred: lookup
of host "hotmail.co" failed in internet router
*** Frozen ***
1998-11-22 09:03:08 jaberel@???: internet router deferred: lookup
of host "hotmail.co" failed in internet router
*** Frozen ***
the sender is an existing user.
Thanks.
