--lots snipped--- Christopher Thanks for the detailed routing explanation. I am still confused bay a few points (most of the points ???) in the router. Can you comment on these, please? 1) I thought the once the router hit a match, it did the mapping and then resubmitted the "new" address to the top of the router list and that this occurred until the address resolved to a local address, at which point the router passed the address to the local delivery module. 2) Is there significance to the angle brackets on the left side of the router lines? I thought it indicated a local address, but sometimes they enclose domain portions. 3) I read somewhere that the router first parsed an address into a "user" and "domain" part. Not sure of the correct terms, but essentially it splits a simple address at the "at sign". As soon as the domain part matched the server's canonical name, it was discarded. (This behavior is described in part of your explanation.) Is there a flowchart somewhere that explains the router? I have read the docs many times and come away with a bit more each time, but a picture is worth a thousand words ... Am I correct in assuming that the router in SIMS is the same beast that operates in Communigate Pro, so I could read about it there?? -- Neil Neil Herber, RGD Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ Eton Systems, 15 Pinepoint Drive, Nepean, ON, Canada K2H 6B1 Tel: (613) 829-4668 ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
