While I no I set myself up to get stung in the rear, it's got to be 
their mail system.
Or does Microsoft want programmers to have to  start including platform 
specific code?
If an email was sent.........it was sent.
If one server can receive it and another can't........
Well, so its not that simple , but it probably is.
