Poking my nose in again. I CC'd on this one because (I think I
remember) there being that request. I'm WAY behind on everything so
just now found this that had bounced back in response:

+++++
FROM: postmaster@outlook.com<postmaster@outlook.com>	Sun, Mar 29, 2020
at 3:08 PM
TO: ButterflyBytes

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

*******@******

Your message wasn't delivered. Despite repeated attempts to deliver
your message, the recipient's email system refused to accept a
connection from your email system.
+++++

Message went on to say I should try a phone, yada, grin. To the OP who
started this, maybe playing around with multiple email addresses is
throwing a kink in things?

OR NOT.

Decided it should be mentioned since this was just found.

Please be safe out there, everyone................

PS As an afterthought, my Gmail has been just a tiny bit "hinky"
today. Takes several refreshes for pages to load after they....
*timeout* in Firefox ESR browser. Seemed also worth noting. :)
