- Can anyone be of help on a sticky problem of mine? I frequently
- get mail bounced to me as the postmaster coming from node
- umichum.bitnet. The mail is addressed to mailer@midd.bitnet
- rather than a specific user. The text of the messages indicate
- to me that the sender was not intending the mail to go to some
- vanilla postmaster type with the generic name of MAILER. Why do
- these messages come in without a specific users address? Is
- there something wrong at my end? I know that some messages from
- this node come through just fine - sometimes the text of the
- message is enough for me to discover who it was supposed to go to
- and the users I have contacted say that most of the time the
- messages from this node come to them directly. Does anyone have
- a clue about what's going on here?
