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. /Pete -- mailto:[log in to unmask] Tel: +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg; University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA (Please use my new e-mail address - no M/Frame mail)
