- In order for the logical name thing to work, the target
- must accept address of the format USER@HOST (without the
- prepended SMTP%" or IN%% and postpended quote).
-
- I tried this on a system where mailshr was patched to
- support just that. Such a patch for smtp% is on
- vesta.sunquest.com.
-
- I also tried testing it on an unmodified system at
- the University of Arizona... which it later turned
- out was also modified :-) In short, get the patch,
- apply it to the target node, and roll!
