It looks like you are not sending to 'admin' as you suspected. The error
message indicates it is trying to reach 'admin' by means of an alias from
'postmaster'. Something is redirecting your mail to 'para' to 'postmaster' -
that must be happening at the recipients end. They either have an explicit
redirect against the 'para' address, or the postmaster address is being used
as a 'catch-all' for mail the is undeliverable for some reason (could be
spam filtering - I have some addresses that won't accept 'bcc' mail, which
is effectively how groups are sent if you have the 'don't show recipients'
box checked in the group).
Check with your recipient again, to make sure you have his address correct.
Then check you can send him a direct mail. If that works, try unchecking the
'don't show recipients' box in the group editing window.

Hi folks
I have
iMacG5
Mac OS X Version 10.4.5
Entourage 2004 for Mac Version 11.2.3
I sent a post about this problem earlier but the only response I got was
that it shouldn't happen.
I am attempting to send e-mails to a group that I have created. These
e-mails are a weekly newsletter
The e-mail to one of the people in the group was returned to me with the
message "unknown user" etc
I checked with the recipient.
He told me that he now had a new e-mail address.
I changed his address in my address book - deleting the old address
completely.
The following week I sent the group e-mail again - and received the same
response - as if it had gone to the "old" address.
SO
I decided to delete the contact completely in the address book and delete
the group completely - and re enter the contact as a new contact then
recreate the group.
I did this - but the following week I got the same response.
So I decided to delete the group completely again, delete the contact, empty
the trash, rebuild my database, restart the computer, then create a new
contact and create a new group.
The following week I sent out my newsletter - once again it has bounced back
to me from the wrong address - this is an address that no longer appears
anywhere in my contacts or my group.
The recipient is not receiving the newsletter at his corrected address - and
there are other recipients who tell me that they are not receiving the
newsletter either.
SO
I thought - one more time...
I deleted the group - deleted the contact - emptied the trash - restarted
the computer - rebuilt my database - recreated the contact - recreated the
group.
BUT - the same thing is still happening!
The person's INCORRECT former address is admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
His CORRECT address - as it appears in his contact and in the "Group" is
para@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If I attempt to send an individual e-mail to him the correct e-mail address
comes up in the "To" box.
WHY, when I send an e-mail to the group does it persist in trying to go to
admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - an address that I have deleted several times
now!
This is the response I get - but I haven't tried contacting the "postmaster"
as it seems to me that the problem is that my computer is sending the e-mail
to the wrong recipient even though I have changed it!
