Thank you for verifying that Mark. Yes, that is the exact error I am seeing. To answer your questions: Yes I do have a recipient policy and yes it is set to be responsible for all mail delivered to the hopianmail.net address. I do not though have address generation set on this domain. The only DNS records I have currently set for the domain are the following 3: Type: A Host: hopianmail.net Data: 24.18.168.215 Type: CNAME Host: *.hopianmail.net Data: hopianmail.net Type: MX Host: hopianmail.net Data: hopianmail.net Priority: 10 I've been working on this since last night and it is really starting to be a bugger for me. Thanks!

I have opened port 25 on the router and have pointed it to the server's ip. Nslookup is telling me the MX record is active and working correctly but unfortunately I don't have any other means of internet access to test stuff with I was hoping someone could telnet into hopianmail.net on port 25 and verify for me whether they are capable of connecting. Thank you in advance, and again sorry for spamming concerning this.
