The comp.sys.apple <-> info-apple gateway strips out so much
header info that you can't find the senders address? I find that hard
to believe, but if it is true, that would make the gateway a pretty
useless piece of software. My address is "spike@world.std.com".

Spike, this is the header on the info-app message we see. I don't see ANYTHING which could easily translate to "spike@world.std.com". Thats why there are .sig files. OK?

You know too little about internetwork communication, USENET, and RFC 822. Every now and then the gateway does preserve the UUCP 'bang' address it receives (though the RFC doesn't require it to for reasons that are about to become obvious). Here's your *ahem* return path (as received on BITNET) - From: Joe Ilacqua <snorkelwacker!spdcc!merk!xylogics!world!spike @BLOOM-BEACON.MIT.EDU> I trust you can intantly tell that the above path is NOT the optimum way to reach you from BITNET or anywhere else. When you stick a post onto a USENET list, it follows along it's own merry UUCP distribution path until it hits a gateway that forwards it to the Internet. What you see is the route USENET takes from 'world' to MIT. It happens that 'world' is a UUCP host which has a registered domain address. Because 'world' isn't actually on the Internet, some mailers will need to know who your Mail eXchanger (MX) is, in order to reach you. The MX for World happens to be - world.std.com MX = uunet.uu.net Apparently World's connection to UUNET isn't direct - FROM PSUVAX1: Path to world: rutgers!mimsy!uunet!skuld!world!username The correct (administratively recommended :-) address from BITNET, in fact, is: spike@world.uucp (although spike@world.std.com will work). >->Spike .signatures, who needs them. You do, for one unless you LIKE answering questions and not getting answers. If you're going to advertise the dial-up number at the end of your messages, you may as well include your (complete) address -spike%world.std.com@uunet.uu.net aka spike@world.uucp /s Murph <Sewall%UConnVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.Edu> [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)
