Hi,

We occasionally receive a mail message accidently addressed to
XXX.ccom.co.nz, where XXX doesn't exist in our ccom.co.nz domain.
This results in the message bouncing around between us and our
provider until I discover it and do something with it (our Domain
file is configured with our provider as the '*' default node).

I understand I should be able to use Amiga UUCP's BounceNoDomain
feature to have these messages automatically bounced.  However to do
this I must remove the '*' default node entry from the Domain file.
How can I then configure it so that all messages for the outside world
are still forwarded via our provider?

Any help appreciated.  Thanks,
Dave

BounceNoDomain only affects incoming mail (i.e., things run through
RMAIL, or "sendmail -r").

Outgoing mail, where a Domain entry does not override, goes to
DefaultNode. If your provider is your DefaultNode, then you have
no problems. Otherwise, this doesn't work for you.
