Thank you for the help with the 25.

Here is what I got
lyndsay at queen:~$ telnet 203.97.33.211 25
Trying 203.97.33.211...
Connected to 203.97.33.211.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtp2.clear.net.nz -- Server ESMTP (CLEAR Net)
HELO clear.net.nz
250 smtp2.clear.net.nz OK, 203-97-99-9.cable.telstraclear.net [203.97.99.9].
MAIL FROM: veganforlife at clear.net.nz
250 2.5.0 Address Ok.
RCPT TO: lillsiecat at yahoo.co.nz
250 2.1.5 lillsiecat at yahoo.co.nz OK.
----------------------

I thought I was doing this to see why my bounce command does
not work,but I am none the wiser. I cannot bounce to the lillsiecat addy or to anyone.

Yes I need someone to help me, that's why I keep bugging you guys :)

thanks
Lyndsay
