I was going to title this "The Internet, She is Broke" but it's not Her fault.
I'm going away for a week so I wanted to suspend delivery of our local newspaper. Off to their website and after a bit of menu navigation I get to a page of contacts. Right there is a name to contact for circulation. Clicking on that brings up an e-mail form that I carefully enter all the required information in, including my e-mail address. When I click that I have finished, I get a response that the e-mail has been sent (a bonus point for them as so many sites give you no indication anything has happened at this point).
When I next check my in-box I find I have a message from the postmaster of the site I sent the e-mail to saying that the e-mail address is not valid. (This is the e-mail address they created). So I take the address from that e-mail, substitute "webmaster" for "postmaster" and send an e-mail to the webmaster to tell him that his site is broken. In response I get an e-mail from my postmaster that the "Host or domain name not found." This, remember is the domain name I copied from the e-mail of the postmaster of the domain.
So I try and send an e-mail to the postmaster of the domain. The e-mail that he send me purportedly from his domain. It, of course, bounces.
I go back to the original bounce message and check the headers. There is only one address. It's in the "From:" field. it's "postmaster@domainname".
Once upon a time geeks and Internet Wizards ruled and when things did not work, we at least knew why. Now people who would not recognize an RFC if it bit them in the **** are in charge.
Not so much :mad: as :boggled:.
