The strangest error message

S

Shauna

Hi everyone... any help would be greatly appreciated.
Let's see if I can explain this properly.

I have three new users I will call them

"userA", "userB" & "userC"...

they can send and receive email from everyone on the
network... and all of us can send to them...

EXCEPT

one user... I will call him

"user1"

He can send and receive email from everyone. He can
receive email from Users A,B & C - but when he tries to
send to them.. he gets a MAILER DAEMON "no such user
here" error..

He gets this when if he clicks "reply", selects it from
his address book, or if he creates a new message typing
in the address(es). Other new accounts I have added to
his address book go through without error. It is just
these three accounts that cause him problems.

The catch: when I simulate this error by sending a
badaddress email to the server. I get back a Mailer
Daemon that shows UserXYZ "no such user here" message. In
his error messages, instead of it saying UserA, B, or
C... no such user here... it says... User1 -no such user
here...

It is as though it is trying to resolve his address (the
FROM:) instead of the TO: address

It is so bizarre. Please help if you can.

Note: we are not using exchange server - just POP/SMTP
from the ISP
