If RYERSON was complaining about RYERSON.CA, that's another problem which I
don't think has anything to do with the changing of PEERed lists from CANADA01.
 
I don't believe I've ever seen LISTSERV mail go through UTORONTO to
RYERSON.CA.  As far as I can see, it has always gone to [log in to unmask]  But,
I may have missed a few people.
 
Eric, I may get flamed for this one from others in NetNorth, but what the
heck.  I believe just about everyone in NetNorth is committed to changing over
to using their .CA domain address in the not to distant future.  The use of
such addresses is prevalent at such sites as Toronto, Waterloo, Western,
Queen's etc.  I've also seen a lot of other NetNorth sites using their new
domain address.  I agree that it causes problems (I've seen a few already
with my dealings with LISTSERV), but I guess we are stuck with it.
 
Now if that table you wre talking about could only be designed into the
system.  :-)  Sigh.  Life couldn't be that easy.
