This is not the case. MAILER interprets BU.EDU as anything ending in BU.EDU
should be going to the [log in to unmask] This is set up intentionally
because I intend to have a central service such that people can mail
(or whatever) to [log in to unmask] There are other people who use the Crosswell
MAILER to send mail to BU and have no problem. If LISTSERV is dealing
with BU.EDU the way you say it is - then I think that there is a problem
here. All mail for BU.EDU is directed out towards NDSUVM1 - why????
 
any other ideas as to what is going on here?
