I do know about this problem with the GEC-Marconi gateway and was in
the process of trying to deal with it before the sad events of Princess Di
suddenly consumed every second of my day (I work for a UK TV broadcaster so
you can see I've been a bit busy !!!) anyway your message made the list as
will anyone others who get this error message. Basically it is because
there gateway is being silly and sending error messages back to the the
originator
of the message instead of the sender I.e. me when it can't deliver a
message.

One of our list members lives on the this server but they are no seeing any
problems
that have been reported to me so it seems a bit un fair just to remove them
from the list.

If I can ever get a responce from the Postmaster @ GEC-Marconi we'll fix
it.

Regards

Geoff
