Oh for fuck's sake. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean
it didn't happen. There are at least two people on this list who got a
bounce from this address.... I was one and Dave Liquorice was the
other.

Of course it does. And it was 2 occurrences. The bounce message said
"user unknown". I can't believe how obtuse you are being here.

This had nothing to do with 'temporary' failure and it is patently not
a web page. The error message was clear enough.

Sending 10million messages at that time wouldn't have made it work. One
is perfectly sufficient. If it's buggered, then it's buggered. God are
you dense....

situation.

Not at the time I tried it. That's my whole point. Obviously this goes
right over your head.

Quite so. I know I'm tired of your ceaseless stupidity and I'm sure
everyone else is. You are now in my Kill file, so don't bother
replying.
