Craig_Everhart@TRANSARC.COM (03/23/91)
As far as I can tell, your test message worked spectacularly! (At least
as far as getting to andrew.cmu.edu itself, to the address that posts to
the andrew.cmu.edu copy of the distributed messages.)
The Received: lines of the mail show it getting enqueued on your
workstation utcrt2.utc.chalmers.se, then it looks like it was picked up
on your PO machine who.ctp.se.ibm.com by your .Outgoing daemon (since I
bet you didn't run startmailsystem on utcrt2.utc.chalmers.se to start
the local queuemail daemon there).
Here's a surmise-laden analysis of what happened.
You wrote the message at 16:54:43 on utcrt2.utc.chalmers.se. It got
enqueued in your .Outgoing directory two seconds later.
PO machine who.ctp.se.ibm.com picked it up a few minutes later, but
couldn't check the info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu address (check for AMDS in
andrew.cmu.edu, or read the WP in andrew.cmu.edu, or read the dist list
/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/postman/DistLists/info-andrew.dl). The message
got shuffled off to the public queues in ctp.se.ibm.com (to q007 at
17:02:24).
A subsequent delivery attempt also on who.ctp.se.ibm.com also failed, so
the message went into one of the background queues (to sq1 at 17:02:56).
A few minutes later, a PO process on ctp.se.ibm.com was able to resolve
part of the address (maybe finding out that info-andrew.dl points to two
more sub-lists, one for the formatted recipients, and one for the
unformatted ones), and enqueued this message in public queue q004 at
17:09:17.
A few minutes after that, a PO process on who.ctp.se.ibm.com didn't
finish a delivery attempt, so shuffled it to background queue sq2 at
17:11:42.
After another few minutes, a PO process on ctp.se.ibm.com did another
part of the delivery process, and it was able to expand the
info-andrew-nostrip.dl dist list (causing the ``If-Type-Unsupported:
send'' header to be added, and expanding the list to name its
recipients). It enqueued that message in public queue q003 at 17:27:32.
After yet another few minutes, a PO process on who.ctp.se.ibm.com put
the incompletely-delivered addressees of the message into a request in
background queue sq2 at 17:30:54.
And a few minutes after that, a PO process on who.ctp.se.ibm.com did
cross-cell mail dropoff into the public mail queues in cell
andrew.cmu.edu, queue q001, at 17:43:14. (All times so far are
Sweden-local, MET, 1 hour ahead of UTC.)
A few seconds after that, a PO process on andrew.cmu.edu picked up the
request from q001 (11:43:54 EST == 16:43:54 UTC == 17:43:54 MET), and
delivered it as a file in the local ~listbb/Mailbox directory. (It
added the ``X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 32766'' header to say that the
mail was unauthenticated.) The outermost Received: line tracks the
expansion of the mail addresses, how this message was addressed to
info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu, which forwarded to a dist list
/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl, which
forwarded to listbb+info-andrew (local to andrew.cmu.edu).
Some time afterward, a CUI daemon running at Andrew picked up the file
and added it to Andrew's ``internet.info-andrew'' folder, which I can
then read (from Transarc) as the directory
/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/netbb/.MESSAGES/internet/info-andrew. In the
process, CUI added the ``X-Added'' and ``X-Andrew-WideReply'' headers.
Now, your message doesn't itself say where the expansion of the
``info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu'' dist list happened, but at least some of
it must have occurred on the PO machines for ctp.se.ibm.com, given that
the message was moved from the background queues in your cell to the
public queues there, twice. In addition, the ``If-Type-Unsupported:
send'' header got added (via info-andrew-nostrip.dl) in the middle of
the Received: lines that were added in Sweden.
Of course, now you'll start telling me about all the other things that
went wrong...
