Does anyone know what is happeniong and can it be fixed. I just mailed a reply to this message using the "R" request to mail. It has gone to ittvax!decvax!cbdkc1!cbosgd which I now suspect is the wrong address. Also I am definitely qubix!msc not cbosgd!msc yet somehow the message got to me. Another site I noticed doing this is somewhere in the path vortex -> lbl-csam -> ucbvax -> decwrl -> qubix which invariably arrives as From decwrl!ucbvax!vortex!lbl-csam!lauren -- Mark ...{decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl! ...{ittvax,amd70}!qubix!msc decwrl!qubix!msc@Berkeley.ARPA
