Ok, Ok, get ready for a dumb question;
I tried to RTFM, but I could not find the answer!
Questions:
Does Elm make use of the uunet maps? If yes how?
Thank you in advance,
Ethan

Smail/Sendmail/rmail are mailer agents that elm uses to transmit the mail. I think that the answer to my question is Elm does *NOT* make use of the usenet/Darpa maps. Smail/Sendmail *DO* make use of the maps, while rmail does *NOT*. Well, net.landers is this correct? Bye, Ethan -- Ethan A.

Yes and no.... Elm can be configured to use a MTA for routing, or it can be configured to do it itself. If you tell Cofigure to have Elm not touch outbound addresses, it doesn't use the map info. If you tell it to touch them, and provide the proper file name of the output of running pathalias (the paths file), then it will route. The answer is if you run a routing MTA (smail/sendmail/MMDF) then make Elm not touch addresses. If you don't run one of those, let Elm route until you can get one of those installed. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.
