We have two machines here at TCT, named "tct" and "acdix". I have logins on both machines. However, when users mail to "chip" on acdix, I want the mail to go to my main mailbox, over on tct. Therefore, I have Elm aliases on acdix: chip = Chip Salzenberg = chip@tct.uucp Now, if the mail originated from chip@acdix and was sent to fred@acdix, the "From:" line might only say "From: chip". However, I don't want that name "chip" alias expanded; I want it to refer to the REAL sender of the mail, namely, chip@acdix. Thus the KLUDGE ALERT code, which appends "@acdix.uucp" to the return address. -- Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT ,
