?? This is just incorrect. The relay sequence of a message is determined primarily by end-point relay hosts and MX records. The policy within end-points will be consistent [otherwise that policy is *insane*] so end-point hosts [sites] can be thought of as a single multi-component apparatus. So generally there is only my-end-point and the-other-end-point. Communication between those is determined almost exclusively my MX records - which anyone can query, and change very rarely. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:[email protected]> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
