Message-ID: <1991Jun18.040344.27747@coplex.uucp> Date: 18 Jun 91 04:03:44 GMT Organization: Copper Electronics, Inc. Lines: 46 We just officialy received word from the NIC that we are entered into the ".com" domain, thereby giving our site the "coplex.com" name. We are running smail3.1.21, with a pretty standard setup, linking daily to uunet via uucp. Here, however, is my question: Below is an example header that I sent to "uunet!coplex.com!dean" (basically, I sent it to myself). 1) Why do the "From " and "Return-Path:" lines state a path of "uunet!coplex!dean", instead of "uunet!coplex.com!dean"? 2) Why does uunet state that it received the mail from "coplex.UUCP", when none of the headers say anything about us being in the uucp zone? Thats is really. By the way, we are running ELM2.3.11 as our X-Mailer. HOSTNAMES in EDITME (in smail) is set to a value of "coplex.com:coplex.uucp". The "DOMAINS" variable is not set, as I dont want it to translate our address "coplex.coplex.com". Here is the message: From uunet!coplex!dean Mon Jun 17 23:33:45 1991 Return-Path: Received: by coplex.com (/\==/\ Smail3.1.21.1 #21.1) id ; Mon, 17 Jun 91 23:33 EDT Received: from uunet.uu.net (via LOCALHOST.UU.NET) by relay2.UU.NET with SMTP (5.61/UUNET-internet-primary) id AA27438; Mon, 17 Jun 91 23:31:12 -0400 Received: from coplex.UUCP by uunet.uu.net with UUCP/RMAIL (queueing-rmail) id 233034.23489; Mon, 17 Jun 1991 23:30:34 EDT Received: by coplex.com (/\==/\ Smail3.1.21.1 #21.1) id ; Mon, 17 Jun 91 23:30 EDT Message-Id: From: uunet!coplex.com!dean (Dean Brooks) Subject: TEST To: coplex.com!dean Date: Mon, 17 Jun 91 23:30:18 EDT X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] -- dean@coplex.com (Dean Brooks) Copper Electronics, Inc.
