neal@mnopltd.UUCP (12/06/89)
Some help would be greatly appreciated. I am relatively recently running Elm,
have patches installed up to patch 11, and am almost thrilled to death with it.
Here is the almost:
I still can't reply to pda@stiatl.UUCP.
It can't expand that into:
stiatl!pda
(Since this is my own news feed site, you might say elm bites the hand that
feeds me).
Here is my pathalias file:
sco jdyx!emory!uunet!sco!%s
emory jdyx!emory!%s
uunet jdyx!emory!uunet!%s
gatech stiatl!gatech!%s
jdyx jdyx!%s
stiatl stiatl!%s
Here is the /usr/lib/domains file:
.UUCP, , , %R!%U
Here is a summary of the elm config.h:

It looks like it is Sooooooo close to working, but not quite, and something
about the domains or pathalias file is throwing it off.
I am stumped on this domain stuff.. do you have any ideas? Please post
any ideas or even snide comments to this group and comp.unix.xenix OR mail
me directly, since I don't get this newsgroup sent to me at present.
thanks,
Neal Rhodes
