[DECtalk] Think I fixed the bouncing problem

[Green Gables Fan]

This all sounds too technical. So you're basically saying that when two 
servers communicate to one another, one of them thinks that the e-mail 
originated from the other server, then their own?
Like if I sent out a lot of regular mail, but due to policy changes, the 
person sorting the mail thinks that the mail didn't come from me, and 
instead they think that it came from a place that was impersonating me. 
this is the best analogy I can think of for those who need a simplified 
version. If anyone has a better explanation that would be great.
