If you want to support it by stripping the >source route information, that's fine, but I'm just as comfortable issuing >the 550. Okay, see your point. I missed that paragraph in section 4.1.1.3. Seen from my chair though one of the really great things about James (and what we primarily use it for) is its mail-processing capabilities, so we usually has it set up like a mail-processing router, between the internet and an existing mailserver or other backend system. For this purpose it is a better strategy to strip the routes (the fix is actually quite simple). I will do the fix and commit it. But now as 2.2.0 is getting released. What is the procedure for comitting fixes? Is it better to hold of everything till after the merger with MAIN? Maybe I should just go back and reread the threads on this. I have sort of lost the overall picture of the merger strategy. --Søren -- Søren Hilmer, M.Sc.
