The said machine has DecNet connections to Ultrix machines willing to act as UUCP gateways. Sending a message to myself works fine, both ways. Yet I cannot forward all my mail from there to here because, I've been told, the DecNet-Ultrix gateway can handle SPOCK::"foo@a,bar@b" but not two SPOCK::"foo@a", SPOCK::"foo@b", where a and b are UUCP sites. So whenever two people in a mailing list happen to forward UUCP mail through the same host, boom. My personal suspicion is a local configuration problem rather than a Ultrix software problem. Since the people there are relatively new at these things, I presume they are running vanilla 1.2 and VMS 4.2 Thanks in advance. I'm getting bored with remote log-ins...
