Nope. SIMS passes addresses into the router rules at the top. When an address is modified, the new address is passed into the router rules at the top. The address is not deemed to be output until it passes the whole router unchanged. >>>I have this in the router before the entries that parcel out mail to the >>>assorted virtual domains (<*@domain1> = Dom1-* and so forth. >>> >>>When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it is rejected with a No Such >>>User error. >>> >>>Am I misunderstanding something really basic about the router? >> >>Only that the router is recursive; in other words, it'll keep on processing >>until it gets a definitive final form of the destination.

I'd bet that something else is happening in the router that you are missing. It may be helpful to turn logging up to the maximum level and watching what the router is doing to that address. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
