I could be wrong, but I don't think it was a script on any web site (check your mail logs). It looks to me like a test mail sent either to or from an improperly configured machine or domain. When/if someone sorts this all out, please post back with an explination, I'd do it myself, but I got enough problems trying to figure out how to sort through 3 different mailboxes, and still keep them all seperate. Not to mention a new ISP to get up and running. laters, Troy
