[news.software.anu-news] V5.7 forwarding problem

tp@mccall.uucp (Terry Poot) (10/19/89)

I'm running ANU news v5.7 and DECUS uucp 1.1 as distributed on the spring
'89 symposium tape. Everything seems to be working fine, almost. I have it
set up to automatically update my path data base. This is set up basically
as delivered with the names changed appropriately. It seems, however, that
about half of the maps are forwarded to the fictional site "mapsink", and
about half are not. Can anyone figure out what is going on?

I can see no rhyme or reason to which are and which are not. They all come
from the same poster, on the same date, via the same path, in the same
batch. Here are the appropriate pieces of the appropriate files.

=======================================================

The maps are arriving from system deimos. deimos.cis.ksu.edu is what is
actually on the path line. Following are 2 headers, one that was forwarded
and one that was not.
