OK, so it's a commercial message, sort of -
well,  I don't work there, and thought a lot of you would like to know.
I get excited by good deals and like to be the first with good news.

Omnitek Computers is going out of the retail sales business, and is
selling everything off AT WHOLESALE.  Unlike the usual such sale,
these folks have all new, current stuff, and being a large buyer their
wholesale prices were very good.  There were a lot of smaller dealers
there buying today.

For an idea of the prices:

Mac IIci 5/0          $2018 
Maxtor 213M IDE hd     $365
Adaptec 1542B SCSI KIT $228  (with software)
386SX25 motherboard    $112
WD8003E ethernet card   $61
SMC Elite 16 E'net     $121  (the best ethernet card around, IMHO )

Omnitek will still be around;  they will be concentrating on Novell
network installation and support.  And we still have Larry Stone's
home phone number :-)

Omnitek is at 253-1330, at SE Burnside amd 102nd.  They are open til 6pm.
The Beaverton store is already closed.

Subject: Multiple To:'s and errors?
Date: 16 Oct 92 05:18:04 GMT
Organization: Datani A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark

The backbone site here in Denmark recently changed their mail software
and in connection with the tests I discovered some errors (bugs,
features?) in VMS-UUCP.

They now only forward 1 mail when sending the same mail to several
addressees:
    To: a@datani.dk b@datani.dk c@datani.dk d@datani.dk ....
The uuxqt_dcl.com procedures handles this *except* when encountering an
error. If eg b@datani.dk is a nonexistent user the error handler
remails the ENTIRE message (to all recipients!!).

This means that
  a) a@datani.dk and b@datani.dk get the mail several times, in fact
     they keep on gettting it until postamster stop the remail.
  b) the sender never gets a bounce
  c) d@datani.dk gets nothing

I feel that this is a combination of (at least) two bugs
    1) VMS-UUCP doesn't bounce mails (why not??)
    2) VMS-UUCP is rather weak at handling multiple recipients (especially
       when encountering errors)

Has anybody else experienced things like this?
Is there a fix for this or do I have to hack it myself?
Any good ideas as to how?

You don't have any entries for distributions in you sys file.  The
sample rejected article has Distribution: usa in it, and usa is not a
distribution that you accept. You can do one of two things:

thehulk/dmc.com:\
alt,bionet,biz,can,comp,control,dmc,general,gnu,jobs,junk,k12,local,mail,\
misc,mtl,ne,news,rec,sci,soc,talk,to,vmsnet:::world,na,usa,local

or

thehulk/dmc.com:\
alt,bionet,biz,can,comp,control,dmc,general,gnu,jobs,junk,k12,local,mail,\
misc,mtl,ne,news,rec,sci,soc,talk,to,vmsnet,\
world,!world.*,na,!na.*,usa,!usa.*,local

The first will only accept articles with no Distribution: header or
distributions of world, na, usa, or local. You will need to negotiate
with your feed site what distributions you want to exchange. The local
distribuion should only appear in the entry for your system, not your
feed. The problem is that about 5-10% of the articles posted have
distributions that match newsgroups rather than actual distributions,
for example, Distribution: comp.  The second form will accept those
articles. I personally use the second form.

I would like to know where you found such a statement in the ANU News
documentation, since it it TOTALLY wrong.  Distributions ALWAYS matter
to NEWS.

You probably don't want to do that, since it totally defeats the
purpose of distributions. For example, if I post something to the ks
distribution, it should only be sent to sites that are in Kansas.
Decide what distributions you want to see, list them in your NEWS.SYS
file and have your feed site only send you the distributions you want.
If you absolutly insist on ignoring usenet conventions and
contributing to the distribution leaking problems you can do:

thehulk/dmc.com:\
alt,bionet,biz,can,comp,control,dmc,general,gnu,jobs,junk,k12,local,mail,\
misc,mtl,ne,news,rec,sci,soc,talk,to,vmsnet:::all

but it is a REALLY bad idea.

Hmmmm.... Good point. I don't think we ever thought about that.

This is everyones (including me :-) favorite complaint. The
architecture of the Mail Handler is such that it would be very ugly to
get this accomplished.

A simple bounce of a failed message is ugly but not impossible. The
bigger problem is deciding when to bounce. You don't want to bounce a
message because a DECnet connected recipient is not currently
available.

In version 2, I have begun to clean up some of the problems caused
during errors. Historically, the actual failing condition got lost in
the shuffle. This made it difficult to determine why a message failed
delivery, which made it impossible to decide whether or not to bounce
it.

Look for automatic bouncing to appear in a future unnammed release.


>     2) VMS-UUCP is rather weak at handling multiple recipients (especially
>        when encountering errors)

At least we are trying. For a long time we ignored all but the first
recipient on the rmail command line. What currently exists was a
convenient implementation to get functionality. I never even thought
about the problem you noted above.

> Is there a fix for this or do I have to hack it myself?

I was going to tell you to hack it, but I think instead I'll take a
whack at it this weekend. It would take me longer to describe the hack
than to just do it myself. (The hack I have in mind is a patch to the
UUXQT_DCL command procedure.)

Stay tuned.

This isn't a "bug", it's a design deficiency -- in other words, we simply
haven't gotten to it yet.

This is the first time this has been reported.  It can probably be fixed with
some careful work in uuxqt_dcl.com.

Yes, it's a pain isn't it? But you can use LIB$ESTABLISH to get rid of the

  I've never seen two RQDXE's used in a chain. Doesn't mean it can't be done,
though. Think of the RQDXE as a switch that steers individual drive selection
to one or the other external connector. There are also some options for setting
whether or not the connected devices are floppies or hard disks (had disks need
ready/write protect support a little differently).

  So, you'd set the first RQDXE to send one drive select (likely DS3) to the
CPU BA23's drive, and the other 3 (1, 2, and 4) to the second RQDXE. The second
RQDXE will send DS4 to the BA23-C expander and route DS1 and DS2 off to the
expansion box, but translated to DS3 and DS4 (you need this because the expan-
der [RD5x-D] box only responds to DS3 and DS4).

    Define "foreign" commands to invoke the images, so:

	$ UUEN*CODE == "$SYS$LOGIN:UUENCODE"
	$ UUDE*CODE == "$SYS$LOGIN:UUDECODE"

Note the lead dollar-sign in the symbol definitions, above, is _required_.
