- MX refers to what you want as "host name expansion." It happens "just
- before PATH identification." So, if this step failed, you shouldn't be
- surprised if the mail was sent to the literal address, rather than to the
- expanded address.
-
- Do you have the following logical defined:
-
- (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
-
- "MX_SITE_DOM_EXPANSION" = "MX_EXE:DOMAIN_EXPANSION"
-
- And is that file present?
-
- I rather suspect that there's nothing wrong with C**/T** (formerly CMU/TEK)
- TCP/IP, since IPNCP works alright. All I can tell you is that version
- 6.6-4 of IP_ACP and MX 3.1c do correctly expand addresses on my system, and
- I didn't have to do anything special to make it happen.
-
- A difference between my system and yours, though, is that your addresses
- apparently only have MX records on the nameserver, not A records. So, the
- search to see which addresses are "valid" might not work.
