[cobalt-developers] A lot of bouncing mail

[G Eppelin <geppelin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a perl script that runs every evening that sends out email to
subscribers. The next day I get tons of mail back from other mail servers.
They contain something like this:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to blaze.cs.jhu.edu.:
>>> MAIL From:<tbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> SIZE=896
<<< 501 <tbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>... Sender domain must exist
501 Name of person <his@xxxxxxxxx>... Data format error

It is true that the widbr0001atl2.interland.net name does not exist. It
was gievn to us by our ISP and doesn't resolve. It is however the name of
the RAQ3i.

The thing is that the mail is sent from an account on thebesite.com (on
the same server), and the From and Reply-To fields are set to a
thebesite.com address.

Any ideas on what to do? I have no problems sending email from the server
in anything but this perl script. Sending from PHP and Pine both works
fine as well. The perl script also worked on my previous host (not a RAQ).
