Hi. I'm having problems with our mailer and vm. Since we are in the uk
domain, our mailer by default will handle mail addresses the wrong way
around...

  ie. I might get mail from someone@someplace.edu but the mailer will
swap the address around so it actually gets to me as
someone@edu.someone.


Is there anything I can do about this in vm ?????


thanks in advance,

  Paul.

I'm not sure what you're asking.  Are you saying that UK mailers
reverse the domain segments and then won't accept outbound mail
in the same form? (retch, retch)

Right there is nothing you do to get addresses turned around.  I
don't think it's the job of the MUA to diddle with address formats.
Clearly this is a matter for the MTA.
