If you aren't the gateway, you shouldn't have to do anything. I understand that IDA sendmail provides much better handling for UUCP/Internet hosts and gateways. (I have the binaries, I'm just scared to install it now with ~75 messages/day going through my system.) The IDA systems seems to prefer rabid-rerouting (it certainly makes it easier) but doesn't seem to insist upon it. -- :!mcr!: | The postmaster never | - Pay attention only Michael Richardson | resolves twice. | to _MY_ opinions. - HOME: mcr@sandelman.ocunix.on.ca + Small Ottawa nodes contact me Bell: (613) 237-5629 + about joining ocunix.on.ca!
