Jean, I don't need an excuse! (Tee-Hee) but it causes havoc when you rest the plaster on the keyboard! ;-) Cheers, Horatia

Mags, Thanks so much for that. I also googled but didn't come up with anything I could understand LOL. I will mail my contact, who is also a member of GR, for her to read this because the problem is at her end. Once again Mags thanks for your time and trouble. Jean x.

I googled this. When you send an email message over a network, it is transferred to and through several computers before it gets to its destination. Each transfer between computers is called a hop. The 'too many hops' error message means that there are too many transfers between you and your recipient. To prevent mail forwarding loops, most mail delivery systems limit the number of hops they will process before stopping a delivery attempt. There is little you can do to correct a 'too many hops' mail return. If you think that a mail forwarding loop is causing the error, you can contact the person with the loop through a method other than the email address that is causing the error. If you know that a mail forwarding loop is not causing the error, ask your system administrator to increase the maximum number of hops allowed.

Can send e.mail to contact in Australia but when she tries to send to me it is bounced back with the message 'to many hops'. Does anyone know how to rectify this. Thanks. Jean x.
