Returned mail: User unknown (fwd)

[Marcel Blenkers]

Hi there!!!

After some testing with some other Mail-Users at aol.com we experienced
the following..which is no error with mailscanner..

As AOL uses more then 1 Server for incoming mails, all of them should be
aware of what kind of users are at aol.
But it seems, that some servers do not know, what kind of users are at aol
and so this server sends as postmaster an mail to the sender that this
user is unknown.

So..forget my Problem-Mail!
This is an error at aol and on their side..
i also reported this behaviour of their mailservers to
postmaster at aol.com..

but i do not expect them to answer :)

Greetings

Marcel
