Ann: You are subscribed to EASI under your [log in to unmask] "Ann Parsons" I don't know if you also have a concealed subscription, nor if the above has MAIL set. Mail to you is sent via SJUVM's SMTP3@SJUVM, which means that it is delivered to your MX hosts, of which there are two: one at GEIS and the other at UU.NET. (I have not checked for DNS consistency though.) RELAY.GEIS.COM does not have you listed as one of its own users so it must forward your mail (or possibly reject it). As far as what happens up in Great White North, all Internet mail from SJUVM is sent though INTERBIT i.e., (.CA) it traverses Bitnet to an SMTP gateway NOT at SJUVM (probably CUNY). sjuvm -> cuvma -> cuvmb -> cunyvmv2 -> one of 10 STMPs@CUNYVM (INTERBIT) which ends up going to the MX host JAZZ.EPAS. -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "I get paid by the Byte" +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
