At our site we unpack the uucp maps nightly and rebuild the
pathalias data base weekly. I recently noticed however that:
Our path to hplabs is: uunet!hplabs!username
and
Our path to hpfcse is: rochester!rutgers!hplabs!hpcea!hpfcla!hpfcse!username
Can anyone suggest as to why the path to hpfcse isn't through
uunet since our path to hplabs is through uunet ?
thanks

Because uunet lists hplabs as a terminal domain. They list a lot of Internet sites this way. Technically, it is ok for them to send mail directly to hplabs (i.e. uucp->internet->internet), but it is illegal to send it over the internet if the final destination is off of it (i.e. uucp->internet-> internet->uucp). -- Larry Blair ames!vsi1!lmb lmb%vsi1.uucp@ames.arc.nasa.gov
