In OE 6 I sent an email to a bonafide address but it was rejected and I
received the following: was undeliverable. The reason for the problem: 5.1.2 - Bad destination host 'DNS Hard Error looking up hdcity.freeserve.co.uk (MX): NXDomain' Any ideas please? Thanks Brett |

If you attempt to telnet to hdcity.freeserve.co.uk" you will also get an
error message. You are going to have to use some other means of ensuring that the address is correct. I suspect you've either typed it wrong or it was sent to you in error. -- Jim Pickering MVP/Outlook Express-Windows Mail Please reply to the newsgroup only. "brett" wrote in message ...

Try dropping the "hdcity." and instead use
That's a common addressing error made by some users. Some ISPs have multiple internal mail servers and each customer is assigned to use one of them for retrieving mail. But that internal server name is not used when sending mail to them. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "brett" wrote in message ...

Sam Spade tells me: | 08/26/06 12:42:53 dns hdcity.freeserve.co.uk | No DNS for this address | (host doesn't exist) No DNS records at all; no 'A' record, no 'MX' record, no way for an SMTP relay client to find out where the email should go. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

Thanks all replies.
The email address was on their notepaper as so I shall have to check with them tomorrow. Useful email checker at www.mailtester.com came from freeserve support.

Thanks Brett As a customer of (formerly) Freeserve (co.uk), personal email addresses originally took the form of or where xxx could be anything you wanted and yyy was the actual "username". Therefore you can use anything before the @ and have multiple email addresses for the whole family. I may be wrong, but I don't think freeserve.co.uk was ever used for customer email, only email directly to the ISP. Domain names/Webspace via Freeserve originally took the form of http://www.username.fsnet.co.uk/ or http://www.username.fsmail.co.uk/ As hdcity.freeserve.co.uk appears not to exist, and Age Concern themselves appear to use then you really need to check you have any part of the email address correct. -- Kath Adams MS MVP - Windows (Outlook Express) |
