Path: utzoo!attcan!uunet!ogicse!ucsd!ucbvax!parc.xerox.com!janssen From: janssen@parc.xerox.com (Bill Janssen) Newsgroups: comp.soft-sys.andrew Subject: Mail munging Message-ID: Date: 26 Oct 90 00:04:38 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 17 Folks, I have a problem with the way that messages re-writes addresses. If I specify an address as "janssen.parc", it is re-written (assuming it's not an alias or bulletin board) as "janssen.parc@holmes.parc.xerox.com". This causes problems with our mail setup (which has to support XNS, and does so with a pseudo-SMTP-address scheme). So: Is there a configuration variable I can set to prevent the local host from being added to the (apparently) local address during re-write, so that "janssen.parc" remains "janssen.parc"? Or: What code in mswp.c should I be changing to add such a configuration variable? Bill
