Remember what Eric said this week? He's working on it.

BTW, using LISTSERV(TM) DISTRIBUTE MAIL DEBUG=YES, and L-Soft's MAILER, I
have discovered (from PSUVM.PSU.EDU point-of-view):

 AOL.COM                        goes to PLUM.EASE.LSOFT.COM (766)
  PLUM.EASE.LSOFT.COM: UBVM     PLUM.EASE.LSOFT.COM
 * UBVM.BITNET is routed as follows:
 * <.BITNET> PSUVM SMTP BSMTP NETDATA @INTERBIT.CREN.NET

and from PLUM.EASE.LSOFT.COM p-o-v:

AOL.COM                        goes to PLUM.EASE.LSOFT.COM (766)


What this means to me is that LISTSERV Distribute mail from or thru
PSUVM.PSU.EDU for [log in to unmask] are re-distributed to
[log in to unmask] but via the Internet/Bitnet gateway at
INTERBIT.CREN.NET (aka pucc.princeton.edu) which sends it to Bitnet node
UBVM which THEN sends it to [log in to unmask] (aka
vms.dc.lsoft.com).

When I think about, I'm surprised that PUCC hasn't filtered this!

Disclaimer: then I pretend I know what I'm talking about, there might be
more smoke and mirrors of which I am not aware.
