Actually, it may not be a 4dos problem. It could be that bar.uucp is
incorrectly listed in the paths file. Should be listed thusly:
bar buzz!bar.uucp!%s
bar.uucp buzz!bar.uucp!%s
This'll force anything sent to bar to go to buzz with the correct address.
Then again...if it is 4dos then your suggestion is correct.
Question: did 1.65 solve the stamp file problem with 4dos? (I am not
a user.)
