Any clues to what is going on here anybody - thank you in advance! We're
hosting the web site for this company on our solaris box. Both primary
and secondary DNS is provided by AT&T. The client is running their own
mail server called pines1.pinesofcarolina.org. Mail generated by a CGI
script on our web server is going into dead.letter. When we run a
verbose test from the command line here's what it says:

# mail -v trnreg at pinesofcarolina.org
Subject: test
test please ignore
.
