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.
Well, having ".." in your username is *not* a good idea for most mail systems!
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.
Yeah. This is one of my pet peeves. PEOPLE WHO SEND OUT STUFF ON THE NET WITH NON-REPLYABLE FROM ADDRESSES SHOULD BE FORCED TO READ REC.HUMOR FOR A MONTH! So there!
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 cannot use password header lines unless anon.penet.fi can handle having blank lines between the header fields:
It can handle empty lines betwen the header proper and the X-Anon stuff, but not in between the X-Anon lines.
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.
What brain-damaged (excuse the expression) gateway software are you using? Julf
