DAN@TOWSONVX (02/10/90)
Many thanks to Ned Freed, Mike Iglesias and Greg Smith for their help. One thing I had forgotten to mention (which Ned confirmed anyway) is that my mailer is registered with the NIC and is listed in both BITEARN NODES and XMAILER NAMES. However, Greg did point out something else. My node definitions may not be exactly right anymore. In my first message, I mentioned that the problem coincided with the upgrade of PMDF. I misspoke myself (who else said that recently 8}). I should have said it seemed to. But there has been one other change recently. I deleted node TOWSONVX from BITEARN NODES and made the name an alias of TOWSON2 since TOWSONVX is just the clustername for my Jnet cluster. The mailers for nodes TOWSON2 and TOWSON1 (my Jnet cluster nodes) are listed as MAILER BSMTP 3. Normally that is right, but if it is actually MAILER@TOWSONVX which is being used by PMDF, could that be the reason these gateways are spitting up? My entries in XMAILER NAMES and BITEARN NODES are included below for reference. Many thanks to all who may be of help.
