Currently a sendmail configuration that I have running "rewrites"
(changes from ! path to %@ path), delivers mail to its next hop.
The Internet site which recives the message and then gateways it
on to the UUCP network fails to rewrite it back into a ! path.
[ By example:
user sends mail to: user@a
rewritten to : user%a%b%c%d@e
site 'e' delivers
to UUCP site 'd': user%a%b%c@d
site 'c' recieves : user%a%b@c
and site 'c' is
unable to parse
a '%' path!
]
Thus my question is: since site 'e' gatewayed the mail message into
UUCP, should they not change the %@ path into a ! path?
