[comp.mail.misc] An interesting bug in UUPC

help@kendra.kew.com (Drew Derbyshire - UUPC/extended Help Desk) (07/09/90)

I just was looking at the UUPC/extended router wondering where/who was
changing

		a!b!c@mail.server.dns

Into:

			b@c

Which in most cases has breaking the routing information badly enough
that all incoming addressses from UUCP land was reduced to useless.

I discovered, surprised, UUPC/extended itself does it on the reply (r)
command.  Since UUPC/extended does not normally re-write mail headers,
this being a special case in the MUA, I forgotton I did it that way.

Has anyone else seen this problem with UUPC/extended?
