Subject: RE: Fail Message is Fail Messages for Fail Messages that I Never Failedto Send???

The basis of all mail troubleshooting is a little thing called the Full Mail Header:

Coordinated with your server logs, and grep you will optimally find out what is happening.

Hopefully, you are also running a nice acceptable AVG and spamassassin/clamav?

Course if you are running QMR, you might ask there, but by that time we will have found it.

Possibly a bounced mail header.
