David,
	Thanks for the clarification.  That's what happened.  With this in
place, I should no longer have to block mail from my own server in the
access database for fear is is an imposter.  Thanks again!

Cheers,

Stefano

Sendmail keeps the connection open until the client gives a QUIT. However,
once you receive a 5xx error code, any subsequent command you issue will
fail, with the exception of RSET and QUIT.  This is part of the SMTP
standard.
