For example, uk.ac.bris.cs is a valid Janet mail site but uk.ac.bris get mapped to bris.ac.uk@uk.ac.aucc too soon resulting in the address cs.bris.ac.uk%bris.ac.uk@uk.ac.aucc. As Jim says, the way round this is to remove the janet.chn entry that causes it. I then explicitly put the entry back by appending it to local.dom: # # bristol corrections $+@bris.ac.uk $2%uk.ac.bris@aucc.ac.uk $+@bristol.ac.uk $2%uk.ac.bristol@aucc.ac.uk A similar thing should work for Manchester.
