Okay.. we've got a new error:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

      Subject:	test
      Sent:	4/7/2003 4:43 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

      test-l on 4/7/2003 4:43 PM
            Unable to deliver the message due to a communications failure
	The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=us;a= ;p=city of st.
jose;l=STJOSEPHMAIL0304072142210THS33
            MSEXCH:IMS:City of St. Joseph:CITY:STJOSEPHMAIL 0x80040C02
(00050311) Maximum receipt headers exceeded (possible mail loop).

What do ya think?  I'm thinking maybe the sendmail box isn't picking it up
or not.

What options did you use when setting up a Custom Receipient?  Internet Mail
or Other?

Thanks.

Great, what it sounds like is that email your sending to the list is picked
up 
at your Exchange server and it just needs to forward this on to the list 
server, in concept is it the same thing as forwarding a users email...

The reason it's happening is because all mail servers look for a local
mailbox 
by the name listed in the To: field, since there is no local user with the 
name of the list it does not know what to do with it (no alias is defined).

If I can be of further help just let me know.
