My machine "cadtroy" is in the UUCP domain, I happen to use emacs
to generate mail. Emacs rmail.ml places a field in the message that
looks like the following:
From: Martin Lee Schoffstall <schoff@cadtroy.UUCP>
If my message is going to cadmus!seismo!root@sri-unix.ARPA I have a problem
due to the fact that cadmus does not touch this "From field". When the
message gets to root@sri-unix.ARPA he thinks that seismo knows how to
talk to cadtroy (which it doesn't). I believe what cadmus should do the
following (though this is not my area of expertise):
From: Martin Lee Schoffstall <cadmus!schoff@cadtroy.UUCP>.
I could also change rmail.ml on cadtroy so that instead of generating
schoff@cadtroy.UUCP it would generate cadtroy!schoff.
Please send me mail if you have any comments or suggestions.
