[cobalt-users] RE: Broken Majordomo

[Clayton McGow <mrwilder@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I posted this message two days ago or so and did not see
it in the list. At the risk of reposting, please forgive...
but here goes.

Regarding my broken Majordomo and Jeff Lasman's response:

Thanks, I did exactly what you said and received the output
just as you mentioned.
I still get this bad email reply

<majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
63.229.70.250 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 <majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxx>... User
unknown

when I write to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxx

Can you think of anything else that may be the problem?

Thanks again.
