A little too much reminiscing of the 80's, I suppose. Was a great time to be alive!

That's what I thought and have observed. When did the username@server94.totalchoicehosting.com change and require this function to be used as username@server94.tchmachines.com [notice the domain name]. That's what caused the bouncing which I was able to easily test and remedy. Thanks for all the welcomes! Good to be here.

Thanks for the reply, Jim. The only reason I was using that machine servername was the way I had my external DNS setup. TCH's servers were the most preferred MX hosts, but in the event it fell through to my backup MX, I needed an external host to forward messages to. Unfortunately that caused a mail loop when the domains were left the same (ie: yourTCHaccount@yourTCHdomain.com). Using the myTCHaccount@server94.totalchoicehosting.com solved that problem until it 'broke' or was reconfigured. No worries, I've managed to implement a cleaner solution anyway for now. But, if I wanted to, can myTCHaccount@serverXX.tchmachines.com be used as another method of reaching my hosting account? Thanks!

Didnt know where to ask this question in the forums and didnt want to issue a trouble ticket yet. Just recently I noticed that messages sent to [myTCHaccount]@server94.totalchoicehosting.com stopped going through and are bounced back: A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: [myTCHaccount]@server94.totalchoicehosting.com SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[myTCHaccount]@server94.totalchoicehosting.com>: host server94.totalchoicehosting.com [72.9.224.178]: 550-elasmtp-kukur.atl.sa.earthlink.net [209.86.89.65] is currently not 550-permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into 550-the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP 550 Authentication turned on in your email client. I also notice that the host's FQDN now is server94.tchmachines.com. Sending to the same account @server94.tchmachines.com works and lands in my postmaster mailbox like it always did. Was there a change that now requires the *.tchmachines.com domain to be used for this purpose, or should the totalchoicehosting.com domain be used but is somehow broken? Thanks.
