-
- Actually, it may not be a 4dos problem. It could be that bar.uucp is
- incorrectly listed in the paths file. Should be listed thusly:
-
- bar buzz!bar.uucp!%s
- bar.uucp buzz!bar.uucp!%s
-
- This'll force anything sent to bar to go to buzz with the correct address.
-
- Then again...if it is 4dos then your suggestion is correct.
-
- Question: did 1.65 solve the stamp file problem with 4dos? (I am not
- a user.)
