However -- this only works because of our rather strange mailer situation at the moment -- the incoming mail get munged through sendmail, who understands how to change '%' to '@'. At that point sendmail gives it to the UREP mailer. Now, assuming the UREP mailer were completely working (which it will be eventually), the sendmail step would be eliminated -- and the mail would come directly into the UREP mailer. At that point it would barf since the old syntax for UREP mail is host%user and the UREP mailer supports the old format. Just a helpful hint. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? -- Spoken: John D. Irwin AT&T: 814-237-5068 Nets: jdi@psuvax1.{BITNET,CSNET} Uucp: {akgua, allegra, cornell, pitt, purdue, ihnp4, burdvax}!psuvax1!jdi
