The Archive Server attempts to send its replies to the requestor
based on the Reply-To: or From: lines of the messages it receives,
in that order. Recently, messages coming from BITNET sites through
WISCVM.WISC.EDU are being received here without the From: lines
being coerced into the form user%host.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU. As we
don't have a table of BITNET hosts, these replies fail.
Thus, if you sent in a request from a BITNET host over the last
several days and didn't receive a reply, you now know why. When
I hear that WISCVM.WISC.EDU has repaired their mailer, I'll pass
the word so that you may resume sending your requests. (Alternately,
if anyone knows where I can periodically pick up a copy of a complete
list of BITNET hosts, I'll try to keep our mailer's database current.)
