- Sigh. Drieux, will you give this a rest? The machine you were trying to reach,
- csl36h.csl.ncsu.edu,
-
- a) exists
-
- b) has a fine healthy daemon running on its SMTP port
-
- c) knows about a local user with login "dsholtsi"
-
- d) describes the user as "Doug Holtsinger"
-
- (See attached typescript)
-
- So, all we're talking about is a routing problem, which is not surprising,
- given that we ALREADY KNOW that the UUCP maps for the NCSU machines are
- seriously out-of-date.
-
- If you have a burning desire to truly test whether you can get mail to
- dsholtsi@csl36h.csl.ncsu.edu, then you need to bypass the pathalias routing
- at least in part. Why don't you try something like
-
- dsholtsi%csl36h.csl.ncsu.edu@lll-winken.llnl.gov
-
- ?? Hopefully, that'll get the message, via pathalias routing, as far as
- lll-winken, at which point lll-winken should open up a direct SMTP
- connection to csl36h.csl.ncsu.edu, and the message will be directly
- delivered over there. If lll-winken isn't smart enough to do that, then
- substitute in that position another Internet host that IS smart enough.
- Repeat substitutions as necessary.
-
- IN ANY CASE, PLEASE QUIT YOUR WHINING!! THERE IS NO NCSU EMAIL CONSPIRACY!!
-
- For best long-term results, contact the NCSU postmaster, or the NC UUCP Map
- Coordinator, and try to get the map entries out there updated, so pathalias
- routing will work again.
