Er, Thanks Peter, but that is the account name in
Outlook express, it is just a label. This account has
been working fine for 2 years on this server, until
today. 
Update: Suddenly, as if from nowhere, the server has
started relaying my mail again. No apology, no note or
anything. Seeing as how there is plenty of space on
the disk, and in the users folder, plus I have not
sent any large e-mails or attachments, why did the
above error get sent from the server ?

And also there is the little matter of
/alan@xxxxxxxxx/?exchange.administrator@xxxxxxxxxx
from the mail.cache to be considered. There is no
forward file set up for that. Could somebody maybe
explain what that line means in the mail.cache

Thanks

Alan Bruce
