[bit.listserv.mailbook] BSMTP to VM-MAILER

NODADMIN@AWIUNI11.BITNET (Erwin Halpern) (01/18/90)

Hello,


I have some problems in using MAIL 89.02.A together with
PUCC VM-MAILER 2.05.

1.) MAIL generates BSMTP-format to MAILER. If mail is sent
    to an unknown subdomain in a known toplevel-domain
    the sender gets am mail from MAILER with a copy
    of the BSMTP transaction-log saying 'service not available for '
    and not a word about for what or whom.

2.) If mail is sent to an unknown toplevel-domain the sender
    get s NOTHING but mailer says 'mailbox not found' in it's console log.

Richard: I wonder if it really was a good idea to put that BSMTP envelope
         around the mail. No end-user is interested in that BSMTP
         transaction-log when having sent mail with a wrong address.
         The end-user is only interested in a short non-delivery message.
         A suggestion for future releases: There should be a choice if
         using BSMTP or not.

The second error seems to be an error of MAILER.

Awaiting some replys

Erwin

This is a known bug which is fixed in 2.06 (not yet released).

This bug may also be immediatly concealed by adding :
*DEFAULT*        *        *      NOMAIL      2      domain
at the end of the DOMAINS section....                 /AF

Fine and when will 2.06 be available ?
We need domain-addressing heavily
