I would have to see the code to be able to answer that question. LSV$DNT
is an installation exit, supplied by the customer. The exit you refer to
is just someone's implementation of a LSV$DNT exit, and in fact I had
never seen it before :-) To avoid confusions:
- LMail does have a file called DOMAIN OVERRIDE, which is supported by
the standard code, with or without exit. This because nearly everyone
has to make routing adjustments for local domains in a MTA.
- LISTSERV doesn't have a DOMAIN OVERRIDE unless implemented by your
LSV$DNT exit. The domains listed in the LOCAL configuration variable
are automatically routed locally, which is usually sufficient insofar
as adjustments for specific domains are concerned. For bulk changes,
you have to use the exit anyway, since you can't list all the domains
present and future in an override file.

LISTSERV always matches without the period. This period/no-period
business doesn't really make any sense, and the only reason LMail
supports it is for compatibility with XMAILER (to avoid loops and lost
mail). There is no such risk with LISTSERV, so the period business is
ignored and LISTSERV matches the entry whether or not a period is
present.

I don't have any, but maybe someone has written one. For LISTSERV, I
recommend updating the INTERBIT entries only, to avoid negating the
benefits of DISTRIBUTE. For MAILER, it could be a good idea to route all
Internet traffic to SMTP.
