Does anyone know if UUMAIL can be configured such that it will not rewrite
an address that is in ! format ? I am trying to avoid the situation
where a user uses a route (address) to a site which is not registered with
the UUCP ZONE MAPPING PROJECT but has the same name as a site which IS in
the pathalias data base and UUMAIL rewrites the address so that it goes
to the wrong site.
Examples:
1. mail to:
user@milton.uucp
gets rewritten by UUMAIL as:
uunet!psivax!csun!csusac!milton!username (thats O.K.to
rewrite this )
2. mail to:
rochester!rutgers!ucsd!nosc!joshua!username (THIS joshua is
^^^^^^ NOT in the
pathalias database)
gets rewritten by UUMAIL as:
crdos1!rpp386!vector!joshua!username (NOT O.K. - wrong site !)
^^^^^^
