I hope this will explain what's seems to be confusing lots of
people. I looks like a note to burl!root (through any circuitous
path you desire) would have gotten you an answer long ago without
having to post to the net. Oh well, I hope this clears things up.

occasionally a system named ``burl'' calls us and drops
off uucp work. we don't have any entry for burl in our
L.sys file (and i don't ever remember giving out our
L.sys entry to them). could someone from burl drop me
a line? thanks.

Rusty, My name is Larry Auton. I am the system administrator for
burl. I got your L.sys information from ihnp4!gjm (Gary Murikami).
He is the administrator for the system registry. He sends out a
mammoth L.sys file to most of the Bell sites each month. Your system
is in his distribution. Burl has a mail optimizer that reroutes
mail if it recognizes a system in the path that is known to us. For
example: a letter to
a!b!sdcarl!unknownsystem!mudpie
would be sent to
sdcarl!unknownsystem!mudpie
People who reply through burl have their path optimized here.
Sometimes this entails sending mail directly to sdcarl. This is the
genesis of your question. I would suggest getting in touch with
Gary if you'd like to have your L.sys info removed from the
registry. I am including my L.sys info below.
We are running USG 5.0 on a VAX 11/780. I will remove sdcarl from
the L.sys here if you desire; however, I would prefer to leave it
there. Get in touch with me and I'll do whatever you prefer. I
hope burl has not caused you any trouble.
