- I beg to differ, Ken, but there is a way to do it. If you specify the
- to address as __vax01::smtp%"user@unix.machine" (note the TWO
- underscores), it will force the mail to be sent to vax01, even in an
- otherwise homogenous cluster. We have used this in our cluster, where
- we only have JNet and the Profs% transport on one machine in our
- cluster.
-
- It isn't elegant, but it is simple and it works.
