I have an account on a far away VMS machine. The said machine speaks to
Ultrix machines willing and able to gateway mail to the UUCP world, and
I am able to send messages both ways.
Now a weid feature of the setup or the software prevents me frrom forwarding
my mail here: if somebody else (on a mailing list, say) is using the same
Ultrix host to also forward mail to a UUCP address, kboom... It seems
MANNIX::"a@foo,b@bar" works fine, but not MANNIX::"a@foo",MANNI::"b@bar".
Since people can forward their mail individually, it is not just a matter of
sanitizing mailing lists...
Since the SAs there don't have their Unix black belts yet, I am testing these
waters. The machines are running Ultrix 1.2 and VMS 4.2 orbetter.
