Re: LCG.COM's address rewrites..
I have been busy elsewere -- figuring how we can run one of the
most popular Internet FTP servers with the least-powerfull machine
still one more month... (and many other things)
I am glad you found a way to kludge that MSMAIL bogon
address.

On crossbar.cf there is a definition which I have changed to be
================================================================
.*
# tmp="@$hostname:$tmp" # <-- that creates RFC-822
# source-routing, AVOID!
;;
================================================================
to get rid of the generated source-route.

I THINK it comes from the original letter. Proof via
$MAILSHARE/postman/ -directory by picking a copy of the original
email. Its content is re-written, but the header was there
to begin with.

I haven't done it -- it should not be difficult, though.

"Easy" by having local host to use "aec.ca" name, and
adding "msmail.aec.ca" into $MAILSHARE/db/localnames
Alternate is a plan I have in mind where "localnames" becomes
a mapping of for example:
hidden.dept.site.top -> dept.site.top
hidden2.dep2.site.top -> dept2.site.top
while still keeping the email local.

Ah the SNAFU.. The FullNameMap database works for
Firstname.Lastname
format entries. See rrouter.cf for usage of $(fullnamemap ...)
It is used ONLY when there is a dot in the local-part address.

No idea. Why the address is there twice ?
Is it in the original arrived spool-file ?

Cosmetic bug on Zmailer 2.9X -- I will try to fix it.
