I guess I should go look at the maps before speaking, but why have yourself listed in the maps as connecting to other systems with a full map entry if you don't want mail mapped through you? Since the whole purpose of a map entry is to allow for shortest/best route mapping it seems to defeat the purpose. If you don't want to forward mail to other sites, either don't be fully mapped or don't list the systems whom you don't want to forward mail to in your map entry. There is no need to list everyone you talk to if you won't forward to them... Having just locked horns with a from MCI over this very issue (he got mad becuase mail was being routed through him becuase he has/had uunet in his map entry as a DEMAND site) I can't keep quite just now...
