Hi Chris:
I want to thank you for all your help.
But I recieved another message just like the below but this is after I removed
the MX records for www.rsegroup.com
any ideas?
also the below line is what I got when I retrieved the message from
my mail server

From: mailrelay@156.46.244.20
Subject: ORT 156.46.244.20 112

Thank you for all your help

Best Regards
Bob Escher
