We have a network of Apollo D3000 and D4000 (around 300 hundred of them!!)
in an apollo network. We can't seem to get uucp and readnew/vnews to handle the
network properly. the problem is that the local node name (Neptune for example)
is tagged to the end of our uucp address. WE don't use the node name, so
we can't send e-mail in response to messages on newsgroups. We have to manually
edit the address of the person that the e-mail is directed towards to remove
the local node name (again Neptune for example).
Does anyone else have this problem??
If so, how did you fix it??
Please post your response as we may not get it otherwise.
Also, I need to know what is the latest version of readnews/vnews etc.
We might have an old copy, who knows>>
