That will be because the external sending attempt is still in the message headers (before they were ended prematurely). Only the headers after the erroneous newline that's ending them are showing in the message body the OP pasted. > The To and From headers seem to have invalid email addresses in them > like there's some kind of encapsulation going on; same with the > Message-ID header. I think that's because you read the plain text version of the email. Presumably because the OP copied and pasted the message body (which is actually overflown headers), all the email addresses in it were converted to hyperlinks by the MUA for HTML mail, and then the hyperlinks were converted to plain text in a stupid way, totally mangling them. So instead of: To: noc-alerts@lists.suretec.net you saw: To: noc -alerts@ lists.suretec.net > That's all I can determine from the above text. Well done for getting that much! What a mess! Grins, Ben.
