Hello,

I recently set up and email account:
interns@curvemag.com

and an intern sent an email yesterday that bounced, but it bounced back to the catch-all email adress. :(

Shouldn't it bounce back to the pop account it was sent from? (interns@curvemag.com which does exist!)

here are the headers:

It should bounce back to the box that sent the email...

In this case, it did - sort of...

It was sent from 'xcurvemag-interns@', when it should have been just 'interns@'...

When the bounce was kicked back, it was sent to: xcurvemag-xcurvemag-interns

This would in fact be routed to your catch-all box as 'xcurvemat-interns' does _not_ exist...

Have your 'intern' check their mail configuration - you'll find the core of the problem there...

Hope this helps to explain...
