I receive mails of list in bitnet with this address, i think that
LISTSERV, have a "procedure" to validate of way for a distribution
of mail, in a list.
 
Example,  i send a contribution to XXX list on ZZZ.Bitnet node...
and to xxx list there a lot people subscrit to list (Bitnet,
internet, and other networks). well, now the listserv distribute
the possting to others users of list... LISTSERV send DISTRIBUTE
JOB's  to others peers listserv, too, send mails via BSMTP, etc.
BUT MY question is... How listserv 'validate' to that LISTSERV
must send (re-send, minimize trafic in networks) the DISTRIBUTE job???
 
Into the DISTRIBUTE Job, there a field that say
//Via DD="SEARN UTARLVM1 USACHVM1 UTFSM"
 
i send now a example... of this problem...

   please examine the way of this mail...
 
 
First, usachvm1.usach.cl ---> usachvm1.bitnet ---> usachvm1.usach.cl
       ----> cunyvm.cuny.edu ---> cunyvm.bitnet ---> UTFSM.bitnet
 
why, this stupid travel of mail??
 
Received in chile, send to USA, and nowly re-send to chile via RSCS,
now we have to hope, sometime more of three days for a mail...
 
Good, too in the travel, is modificated the header and address of
real origin.
