Yes I know I have no hope of ever sending email to that address. The
problem is really my wife's perception. It looks like the problem is on
my server end when I know it is not.
The FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl is commented out. My wife
received this message because it actually came via a email list which
was forwarded from an outside Email server. Since that server accepted
the message then my server did too and has to or my wife will shoot me.
I would much prefer to see this bounce message which I get from the
other email server I run:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<jdavidson4 at home.com>
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.2 <jdavidson4 at home.com>... Host unknown (Name server: home.com: no data known)
Because then it is obvious where the problem lies even to my wife. I
have unwittingly set something on my nurdog.com server and have no clue
what.
