- Fred is Fred.Avolio@DCO.MTS.DEC.COM if you get mail through the gateway.
- We don't use the Ultrix config files, since as you note, routes are not
- as good as addresses, especially if they have to be mixed-mode. The DEC
- OSF/1 sendmail configuration files will be more like what we run on the
- gateway than what ships with Ultrix.
