When I try to send mail with an address like foo!bar!u, post gives me the following error: To: ping.chi.il.us!gorpong Fcc: +obox X-Mailer: MH 6.7.1 #22[UCI] (ping) of Sat Feb 2 01:51:10 CST 1991 Subject: This is a test -------- Watch it blow up. What now? send ping.chi.il.us!gorpong: not supported; UUCP address post: 1 addressee undeliverable send: message not delivered to anyone Post -help shows this: version: MH 6.7.1 #22[UCI] (ping) of Sat Feb 2 01:51:10 CST 1991 options: [SYS5] [SYS5DIR] [DBM] [TYPESIG=void] [DUMB] [OVERHEAD] [ATZ] [RPATHS] [MHE] [MHRC] [DBM] [MORE='"/usr/bin/more"'] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [MSGPROT='"0600"'] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [MMDFMTS] [MMDFII] [SPRINTFTYPE=int] What am I missing?

Perhaps MH is balking because there are no "@"'s in the address. Look at the BANG under "options" in the READ-ME. It tells MH to prefer UUCP addresses (bang paths) over (@). It might help. :) It might not. :( To help you debug, try using: send -nopush -watch -verbose at the whatnow prompt to see how it handles your message. -- Eric W.
