Thanks for the suggestion. Looking into the files, I see that there was
an entry for UMINN1 in the old PEERS NAMES file that has now been deleted.
There is a new entry in the INTPEERS file for TC.UMN.EDU, which is now
hosted on a Sun Solaris. There is a 'backbone.NO' line in this entry.
Does this parameter cause a problem with accepting inter-server
DISTRIBUTE jobs from TC.UMN.EDU? These new updated files were distributed
on 01/31/97.
Should the Listserv at TC.UMN.EDU not be sending DISTRIBUTE jobs if
it doesn't have a backbone.yes or DISTRIBUTE(YES) entry?
