Dear Avleen
Thank you for your response.

I tried as you suggested. I sent a mail through the telnet session at
port 25. Everything went well until I finished it, the last line said

451 Temporary local problem - please try later

the mainlog said
temporarily rejected after DATA

and so said the rejectlog.

I can manually create the folders -- and it will more likely work. But
I'd prefer this to be automated.

Anything else I should look into?


Thanks again.
