 Does anyone know if UUMAIL can be configured such that it will not rewrite

an address that is in ! format ? I am trying to avoid the situation

where a user uses a route (address) to a site which is not registered with

the UUCP ZONE MAPPING PROJECT but has the same name as a site which IS in

the pathalias data base and UUMAIL rewrites the address so that it goes

to the wrong site.

 Examples:

1.  mail to:

	   user@milton.uucp 

   gets rewritten by UUMAIL as:

	   uunet!psivax!csun!csusac!milton!username (thats O.K.to
                                                      rewrite this )

2.  mail to: 

	       rochester!rutgers!ucsd!nosc!joshua!username (THIS joshua is
                                           ^^^^^^           NOT in the 
                                                            pathalias database)

  gets rewritten by UUMAIL as:

	        crdos1!rpp386!vector!joshua!username  (NOT O.K. - wrong site !)
                                     ^^^^^^
