Sometime between 5.61 and 5.65c it stopped working with (essentially) the same configuation file. It can be made to work with 5.65c, but you have to make sure of the following in your configuration file: a) ruleset 3 should pass :include: lines unchanged. Something like R:include:$+ $@:include:$1 # return :include: specifications near the beginning of ruleset 3 should do the trick. Depending on your ruleset 3, it might not be necessary. b) ruleset 0 must resolve to the local mailer, preferably without doing material damage to the include specification. Again, a single line like R:include:$+ $#local$@$::include:$1 # resolve :include: specifications to local mailer near the start of ruleset 0 should work. Processing a test message with the -v and -d flags may be informative. -- Bruce Lilly ...uupsi!monymsys!sonyd1!blilly!bruce
