} Mail to schaefer@cse.ogi.edu and include a line that says:
}
} @MUSH
}
} An automatic filter mechanism will respond to your message.
Some important notes:
@OFF
An @OFF line will disable the mail filter, if for some reason you want
to include a line beginning with @MUSH in mail I actually see.
The @MUSH syntax above is only partially correct. Please use
@MUSH your-email-address-here
There continue to be problems with OGI's mailer. In particular, there
is no guarantee that addresses using mixed domain and uucp syntax will
be delivered successfully. Case in point: I just received an @MUSH
request from
uwm!cs.utexas.edu!hpaustx!stuart
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This domain name causes confusion.
OGI's sendmail translates this into
stuart%hpaustx@cs.utexas.edu
which cs.utexas.edu then returns as host unknown (because it doesn't
understand a%b@c syntax). There is no way for me to prevent OGI's
sendmail from perpetrating this nonsense, so I am completely unable to
send mail to hpaustx. Sorry, Stuart, you'll have to get somebody with
a working sendmail to send mush to you, unless you have another uucp
connection besides cs.utexas.edu.
