I'll be posting a couple of extra rulesets to the ML soon. They are the ones I used in 1.4a to enable relaying to the US and elsewhere thro' EARN. They ensure that the name of the topmost overseas address is in NRS order so that EARN will relay it properly. They also ensure that other overseas addresses are in international order. This means messing with addresses below the % which is undesirable according to several posting in comp.mail.sendmail but necessary to undo the mapping that UCL do on incoming mail. I named these rulesets 18 and 19 on 1.4a, I've renamed them 19 and 29 for 1.5. Please don't use up all of the rulesets yourself when you release 1.6 :-) !! I don't like this - relaying to the US should be done via UCL at least from the uk academic community. However, local needs get local fixes. Beware that some older sendmails only allow around 30 rulesets. Having said that, I suggest that you use rulesets 30,31 and that we reserve rulesets 30 to 39 for local hacks. I do not expect uk-1.6 to need many more rulesets, unless there are more mailer definitions donated! -Jem.
