Oops.. ok! Excuse me but... I'm a molecular biologist! Informatics is a
recent passion, and for me it's difficult to correctly translate the tech
English of the documentation. So, "www" and "mail" are hosts. I called them
"third level domain".

I use KMail (in a Madrake8.1/KDE3 system), which returns a window saying:
******************
Sending failed:
The server didn't accept one of the recipients.
It said: 5.1.1 <paolo@???> is not a valid mailbox

That's interesting. I have no idea for that. Do you use a Linux system (well,
with pine..)? May you try to suppose what can be the problem? Why it should
accept the connection and then close it immediately???
Thanks again! :)
