This is what happends when I try to use outlook on a win box. my current configurtion is OpenBSD 2.8 running sendmail. I can recieve emails but I get this when tring to send. I also tried putting the E=\r\n at the end of the line but that still didnt work. I dont know what to do. If anyone knows either answer back in form or email me at mclubb2000@yahoo.com. Thanks. Here is the email that I get back.
