Virden) Distribution: world Organization: N8EMR's Ham BBS (HBBS), Columbus,Ohio Lines: 14 Summary: how do addressing and mailx work? I am on a att pc type system running system 5. The mailx is version 2.14, dated 8/1/85. When I try to respond to various email, I sometimes get incorrect addresses generated by mailx. For instance, addresses which go a!b!a!b!c, or x!a!b where x knows nothing about a!b. Any ideas on what I could do AS A USER to get mailx to figure out a better path back? The system is running smail 2.5 and pathalias; is there no way to tell mailx that so that he will throw away various prefix paths? Thanks! -- Larry W.
