I take your comments to mean you havn't received the test?
I received the copy I CC'd to myself.
Xtra aren't in the habit of silently dropping mail (in my experience) so
if you havn't seen it yet, then i'd agree - its probably doing the
go-around-in-circles bit. Meaning it could be days before it bounces and
we find out 'why'. :-)
