Hello,

thanks to Peter Bowyer and Wash for pointing out the [] enclosing I missed.

Could someone explain to me why sending to

testuser@1.2.3.4 will give me unroutable adress, while (with having
ipliterals on)
testuser@??? works out fine?

I guess it's some RFC thing, but I don't see a reason for the first address
not working out since
e.g. an older sendmail installation of mine would accept it. :)

Thank god the remaining problem now lies on the Exchange server side not
accepting the username@ip emails
and it is not really my problem anymore. :)

thank you all
