Make sure you use a mail-exchanger knowledgable mailer (ie: something other than the default sendmail shipped with all Sun machines, etc.), since otherwise you will get nothing but reject messages. I wonder how many mail messages to this counter are being dropped because of this?!? nslookup > set query=mx > uninett.no uninett.no preference = 10, mail exchanger = aun.uninett.no uninett.no preference = 20, mail exchanger = nac.no aun.uninett.no inet address = 129.241.1.99 nac.no inet address = 129.240.2.40 Otherwise, the address bsd-counter%uninett.no@aun.uninett.no might work for youi; if not, try bsd-counter@aun.uninett.no directly. I have a big problem (can you tell?) with counters that supposedly count the number of users of something, but which in fact the majority of users are completely unable to be counted.
