Hello again,

Yeah, that's probably what I'll do. That being said, here are some of 
the headers which indicate the information you said to look for. The 
mail programs in use appear to be InterMail,, and imp05, with InterMail 
being the one at the last hop on the route there. It appears that it is 
indeed returning a 404 result.

So, it appears that for some reason, the email address I am sending to, 
is not the same as the one she is receiving at I don't know why it is 
failing to arrive at her main email address, and is instead being 
forwarded [evidently] to her secondary address. Note that I have 
replaced a few of the characters in each of the addresses to keep from 
broadcasting her addresses to the group.

Oh well, I'll just creat a filter for those, and be done with it. 8-)
