Using the Elm mailer, I type the address:

    murthy@svax.cs.cornell.edu

Elm reads the paths file, and changes it to the
shortest route:

    bellcore!rutgers!murthy@svax.CS.CORNELL.EDU

rutgers kicks it back as an UNKNOWN host, but it
WILL accept this address:

    bellcore!rutgers!svax.cs.cornell.edu!murthy

Is it rutgers, Elm, or my domains and paths file that is screwed,
or all of the above?

Thanks in advance.
