-=> Quoting Uucp to All <=- Uu> Apologies for replying on the list.... That's OK with me. This probably answers some questions for a few others, too. Uu> Here's why.

This is extremely interesting! This "problem" was supposedly fixed some time ago, but this is why I have alternate accounts elsewhere with more common names. In any event, I will pass this information along to the proper persons.

repl: bad addresses: "M. Stirner" -- no mailbox in local-part (.)

This is yet another problem that was supposedly repaired - it should read m..stirner@f28.n125.z1.fidonet.org, but a curious glitch in the BBS reply software that handles conversions of mailings to conferences & automatic routing of replies periodically enters all zeroes in the "f" & "n" fields. I will pass this along, also. Uu> Another problem is that your address keeps changing. Thus you have Uu> several ID's on anon.penet.fi, some with passwords, some without. Your Uu> message was from m..stirner@f0.n0.z1.fidonet.org, but in your sinature Uu> you claim you are also m..stirner@f28.n125.z1.fidonet.org (or Uu> ...!uunet!kumr!shelter!0!0!M..Stirner). Yes, the zeros are wrong & were inserted by software out of my control. I also have different addresses, true enough, but there is no f0.n0.z1 in fido; that address is a software error. I suspect it'll be on this message, too. STILL....the problem I have is not addressed: I cannot make a multi-line header (as in the required "X-Anon-Password: password" line) work through this UUCP gate, as far as I can tell. I have been attempting to route my mail to the penet remailer via other cypherpunks remailers with the syntax: :: Request-Remailing-To: anon@anon.penet.fi From: anXXXXXX@anon.penet.fi X-Anon-Password: password X-Anon-To: alt.foolishness But I am not sure if the cypherpunk remailer's address conflicts with my From: field or not - I _think_ it does. If so, I cannot use password header lines unless anon.penet.fi can handle having blank lines between the header fields: To: anon@anon.penet.fi From: anXXXXX@anon.penet.fi X-Anon-Password: password X-Anon-To: alt.foolishness The above header will pass the UUCP gate here. Without the blank lines, the header gets grunged after the To: anon@anon.penet.fi line. . Thank you for your personal attention to this vexing problem. . ~ . M. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 -- M.
