Will the C flag on someones uucp mailer definition solve this and if so > who needs the change (milano, right?)? It looks to me like milano is probably doing this in either their sender ruleset or ruleset 4. Milano probably sees this unqualified address going out and tacks on it's (milano's) name assuming that it's (members-at-large) a local name. That's what my machine would do - is this wrong? On the subject of the "C" flag: why is it applied (apparently) after all of the rulesets? In my config, this results in all "To:" addresses on the local machine, which have been stripped of our hostname, getting the sender's host.domain appended to them. For that matter, when would this flag actually be helpful? Andy andy@gollum.hcf.jhu.edu ecf_hap@jhunix.UUCP ecf_hap@jhuvms.BITNET
