Due to the complaints about "over" optimization by ihnp4, I've reduced the list of optimize-sites to AT&T sites only (suggestion from Peter Honeyman). Naming conflicts have also been removed from the optimize list. ihnp4 now optimizes a mail path to the rightmost (unique) AT&T site. 1583 hosts.optim (old optimization count - includes non-AT&T sites) 1264 hosts.optim (new optimization count - includes AT&T sites only) This will probably result in higher loads to the netnews neighbors of ihnp4 and less gateway concentration on ihnp4 to non-AT&T sites. -Gary P.S. This also has the side effect that you can now send mail to yourself through ihnp4 provided that AT&T sites are only on one leg of the path (and provided that you are not an AT&T site).
