Eh gods...

  My feed point wants us to stop doing routing from here.  We use VMS uucp
  2.0.  He says that because our system is establishing routing, we are
  not fully using his router in the best way. He is running smtp.  

  I am not clear as to how to establish this as if we do not have the
  paths database online, the uucp blows up and will not send the mail
  and responds with INVALID internet address.

  I think the solution is to use the mail_rewrite rules to intercept
  all outbound-to addresses and to insert the routing info forcing
  the message to go to the router system.  I have attempted to do this
  and it does modify the b.xxx file and the d.xxx file remains ok with
  the proper @ address and uucp likes this.  But I am not certain if this
  really works, or is the correct method.

  Since he is not a VMS person, I dont know if we are communicating correctly
  about what he needs and what the system here needs to function.


  Any ideas or suggestions??

  HELP!
