| There doesn't seem to be any way to override this from the domain and channel | tables -- does anyone have any suggestions? There's no nice way to do this - you have to consider issues like where should user@ph.sun - is it a subdomain of ph.ox.ac.uk or is it sun.ph? A better example is "cs"; is hw.cs really heriot-watt.computer-science or some institution in Czechoslavakia? You basically have 2 choices: remove the top level domains like "ph" and "cs" and force users who really mean to mail to these countries to explicitly route through a uk gateway - user@ph can then route locally as it usually should; or do a clever trick. Here's one from the clever tricks department which basically stuffs extra rules in ruleset 10 to override the nameclash. Add the following rules to your local domain table: @ph @uk.ac.ox.ph # convert to nrs form @uk.ac.ox.ph @ph.ox.ac.uk # nrs to 822 form @mx @uk.ac.mx @uk.ac.mx @mx.ac.uk This also ensures that uk.ac.ox.ph is not considered a subdomain of ph. I think I would use the trick for ph and mx but would delete cs from the top level domain list. -Jim.
