Thanks for your prompt response. I can't receive mail. I can send only. I was receiving OK the previous night, Sunday, April 6th. But yesterday, Monday April 7th messages were kicked back to senders as undeliverable. I sent to several emails from another email address to dnjames and those "test " messages were met with the below info:
