Hello NetLanders,
I need some help. I am trying to set up our PathAlias map entry and am
having trouble convincing PathAlias that one of our links is really low cost.
The problem stems from this:
PathAlias Input:
cseg @hcx(LOCAL)
hcx harry(DEMAND)
The output looks like: (command 'pathalias -c')
0 cseg %s
25 hcx %s@hcx
100000325 harry harry!%s@hcx
I have tried every way I know of to specify that the link from hcx to harry
is low cost. I have even set all the costs at 0 and it still outputs the cost
to harry as INFINITE! Is this a bug or do I just not understand something?
The wierd thing about it is that If I tell pathalias that the link looks like
cseg hcx(LOCAL)
rather than
cseg @hcx(LOCAL)
then everything works fine! However, at the present I can't do this because
I am sending from cseg to hcx via SENDMAIL and it REQUIRES the '@' syntax to
be able to get mail to hcx.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I sent out a similar request
about a week ago or more and have heard nothing back.
Thank you (VERY MUCH) in advance.

oops -- undocumented behavior.
pathalias steps on addresses that mix ! and @ -- steps HARD.

Sendmail doesn't require _any_ type of addressing. It's the sendmail.cf you
are using that does. I think if you post the appropriate question to
comp.mail.sendmail someone will be able to assist you in modifying your .cf
file.

I confess to be puzzled by pathalias - where could I get a copy of this paper? Also what is the most recent version of pathalias? > peter > >ps: just kidding about the book.
