In the referenced article, diamant@hpfclp.HP.COM (John Diamant) writes: The right answer is to get UUCP sites that have registered domain names to have MX records installed at forwarding machines on the Internet. Then, any site that is on both UUCP and Internet should try to use the domain server first, and only use pathalias if that fails. Ah, but what of the case where I use a UUCP name for an Internet host (e.g. I say "ut-ngp!user" and the pathalias generated database spits back "ngp.utexas.edu!user")? The call to search the pathalias generated database had better not be in a sendmail mailer definition, where I've already committed to delivering by something other than SMTP. It has to be somewhere in the address canonicalization routines, which requires hacking on sendmail. Erik E. Fair ucbvax!fair fair@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu
