That's because LISTSERV does more than just dump the mail distribution
to your MAILER. If your mailer is configured to use the local SMTP as
the Bitnet/Internet gateway for all Internet mail, fine. But that only
means mail it receives will be treated that way. Since LISTSERV uses
it's own distribution mechanism for bundling mail together and sending
it to the proper destinations, my guess is that your MAILER never gets
to look at the mail. It's forwarded across the LISTSERV backbone to
whatever gateway is responsible (as per DOMAIN NAMES as described in
my previous note) for that Internet domain. So in other words, both
LISTSERV and MAILER (whichever one your using) need to be told to use
your local SMTP if you want to send mail directly to Internet hosts.
It sounds like your MAILER already uses a nodified DOMAIN NAMES, you
just need to do something similar for your LISTSERV.
-----------------------------------------------
LISTSERV is using same DOMAIN NAMES as Mailer using now. I don't know how I
can modify this on LISTSERV. Could you point out which file I need to modify?
