Thank you so much for the quick response. I am somewhat intrigued because I
could not send the email to the address, but on the advice of a friend I sent
the message again the next day, and it went through successfully. The
question is how can I be sure this message has actually reached the
recipient. (there is no other method of communication but email).
Secondly, why would their server return a permanent fail considering we were
communicating via email only the previous day, using the same email address.
Many thanks.
