I'm having troubles with getting MMDF working.
The main problem is summed up as follows:

In my root domain file, I've got an entry:

com:	ukc.ac.uk

In my uucp.chn channel file, I've got:

ukc.ac.uk:	ukc!%s
ukc.UUCP:	ukc!%s


and in my uucp.dom domain file, I've got:

ukc:	ukc.UUCP

(My neighbouring site is ukc).

If I use 'checkaddr -w abc@com', the address is found OK and the
message: queueing for uucp via 'ukc.ac.uk': 'asd@ukc.ac.uk'

Then, if I try: checkaddr -w abc@zzz.com, I get:
Bad address
(BHST) Unknown host/domain name in "abc@zzz.com".

I would have thought that as 'com' is in my root domain the abc@zzz.com
should have been routed to 'ukc.ac.uk'...it seems to work if I only put
the domain name, but not if I add a host name to it. The same happens
with other top level domains mentioned in the root domain file.

Am I misunderstanding how this should all be working?

I currently do not have a badhosts channel defined. If I do this,
and set it to 'ukc.ac.uk', then the 'checkaddr -w' message
gives: asd@zzz.com: queueing for badhosts: via '': 'asd@zzz.com'.
I'd have thought that the via string should be ukc.ac.uk?

Any comments and suggestions about this would be most appreciated.

Replies by mail, please.

By the way, I'm using MMDF IIb Update: 43.
