Michael,
Save us all a headache, and simply register BOSTONU as an alias
for BUACCA. In fact, register CCMRG@BUACCA as the contact for it, and
CCMRG@BOSTONU as an alternate contact. LISTSERV will recognize both
as NAD's for their own systems. Use CCMRG@BOSTONU to delete users
from lists, and CCMRG@BUACCA to resubscribe them.
Even if you choose not to do that, I'd still set up BOSTONU as an
alias. After all, you're liable to be flooded with complaints that
non-LISTSERV mail to <fill in the blank>@BOSTONU isn't working
anymore.
In checking out my first suggestion, I noticed that the routine
that decides whether or not you're a NAD (LSVNAD EXEC) doesn't honor
the :ALIAS tag. It would be nice if it did, then something like
:NODE.BUACCA :ALIAS.BOSTONU :CONTACT.CCMRG@BUACCA
would allow "CCMRG@BUACCA" to be a NAD for both BUACCA and
BOSTONU. It's a small change, and wouldn't introduce any overhead
except when checking for the alias_node, or when the node in question
doesn't exist. Eric, is it too late to ask for this one in 1.5o?
(I've got it done, if you want it.)
