I am trying to get one of our NeXT machines to queue mail for the others in our group. This is so the others can turn their machines off whenever they go home. The power button is right on the keyboard and they usually press it. To test my configuration I had our server set up an MX record for a PC that will never recieve mail. The MX resolves to the PC and then to the NeXT. The problem is that the NeXT first attempts to connect to the PC and fails of course. Then it tries to connect to itself and really bombs. How would I go about getting it to queue the mail for the other machine when the MX has it's name as the mail handler rather than trying to connect to itself?

It's fixed. Thanks Neil. The problem was that the $j macro did not have the fully qualified hostname. I guess it then didn't recognize itself as the mail handler for the other node.
