I'd call it a bug in your mail routing. You're forwarding mail to your
domain back to UUNET; all such mail should be dealt with inside your
domain. Normally, mail to a non-existent subdomain should be bounced
back to the sender. I don't think Amiga UUCP sendmail can do this in a
reasonable manner. For small domains, it's probably reasonable to send
the mail to the domain admin (i.e. - you) for handling. Since you
can't do that, opting for local deliver is probably as good as you can
get. To do this, you'd tweak uulib:domain as so:

# All other subdomains stay here.
*.megalith.miami.fl.us		MD	UU	megalith

You then have need to check uumail: at regular intervals for "odd"
mail files, and be prepared to deal with mail to domains other than
your own. If you don't have mailbounce set, you ought to be doing
these things anyway.

If you find a replacement for sendmail - especially one that doesn't
need UUCP maps and has SMTP support - please let us know.

 I am looking for any information on how to use Commodore's TCP/IP software
with a UUCP package (which package can?). 
 What I would like to do is set up a Newsreader and mailreader on my Amiga.
I do not currently have any UUCP experience, but I managed to get AS225 to
work. (C='s TCP/IP software)
 Also if you know of any software that makes use of or replaces the included
software please let me know, I'd like to make a list of availible software
for the Amiga in networking. (Mainly Ethernet & TCP/IP as it is now) 
 Please mail responses to mctaylor@mta.ca.
  Thank you

Subject: Problem with BMS not transfering
Summary: BMS appears to have stuck for some sites

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]
Organization: Private Internet Node

In the last couple of days I have noticed that BMS is refusing to transfer
files to some sites (mirkwood in particular). Even when I 'bms batch
force' the outstanding file to mirkwood is not processed, in fact nothing
is transfered.

BMS displays the following when run:

>7.System2.0:> bms batch
>28-Jan-93 23:09 Batchout:Round #1  499308/663224/4562514 bytes, 10.9% handled

>28-Jan-93 23:09 Batchout:Round #2  0/0/0 bytes, 100.0% handled

(500000 is my daily limit, 5000000 is the weekly one).

The 'stuck' transfer shows as this, even after a 'bms batch force':

>REGISTRATION mirkwood.cam.org ALIAS=mirkwood STAT=78:REG-REMOTE to=179d
>    CONTROL:   STAT=947:OUTGOING to=off
>        FILE 0/1: <null> loc=BMS:Betty/Tower.Demon.Co.Uk size=163224 flags= 0%

Has anyone any ideas why this is not processing, and transfering to
mirkwood? The only thing that I can think of is that the database is
corrupt and I'll have to re-register with all the sites.

Thanks for any help,

Mark.

I read your message the other day and said "Boy, does that sound familar".
I used to get that all the time (as many as 40 out of sequence messages while
getting a feed.  I solved the problem, I thought, by not touching my machine
while feeding - just leave the room.  I was hoping someone would would have a
better solution and would post it.  However, today, I received 18 such errors
and was not at my machine!  I called my feed site and he was not at his machine
during the feed either.  Multitasking is a part of the problem but there is
some other factor in this.

FWIW, my setup is:

        A2000 with GVP 33 MHz '030 8 MB RAM
        WB 2.04 (My dealer is out of 2.1 without ROMs)
        Dillon's UUCP 1.15 (long story there)

Greetings,

  Long ago there was a disussion about cyro.rain.com requiring internet
style addresses.  Two questions:

  1) Is there a sendmail that doesn't force bang paths (I'm pretty sure my
     feed site could handle this, its a full USENET/INTERNET gateway)?
  2) How do you get BMS to use internet style addresses.

  I saw a similar question a while ago, but no response...

pfibl.
i am looking for a Good pseudo random number generator. 
the one i am using now was by Leo Schwabb many years ago, and
i have modified it to now and then EOR in some clock counter
etc..  But i am still not satisfied!
 
so who knows some good ideas ?
.. Maybe a routine to use the HPos..  It has periods of
very fast fluctuation which if polled slow enough could seem
quite random..
.. hmm
rnd
	move.w	seed,d0
 	lsl.w	#4,d0
	eor.b	HPOS,d0
	move.w	d0,seed
	rts
 
.. Hmmm
Yes the hpos also has periods of constancy, but so you filter those, and
do something else in addition.

  I have one question. I tried downloading that 3ddemoII by Anarchy and
I can't seem to be able to get it unarchive correctly. I've tried it a couple
of times and it would always error out near the end of unpacking it. 
Someone may have to redo the archive if they want it on an ftp site.
As for 3d. Are there any other demos that truly boast 3d routines?? I have
the Spaceballs demo of State of the art, but there wasn't enough 3d in there
to get me interested. I'm basically interested in something that truly 
shows off 3d stuff kind of like the Unreal Demo, it's 3d that I have real
interest in in computer demos. Even though neatpattern tricks and motion
was something nice. THanks in advance.

Yep, this means those 48 users are on from other networks than Nordunet,
the network for Nordic countries' universities.

Midnight in Germany (Central European Time, CET) is GMT+1. This is
6 pm on the east coast of America, and 3 pm on the west coast. So
try between 2 am and 1 pm CET for best results (office time considered
to be between 7 am and 5 pm, ending at 5 pm at west coast and starting
the next morning at 7 am at east coast).

West coast of America: GMT-8
East coast of America: GMT-5
Britain: GMT
Continental Europe: GMT+1
Finland Funland, Baltic States, Greece: GMT+2

Please correct me by mail if this is false information.

One of the entries into the Party II music competition, FlowerPower,
sounds very familiar.  Certainly, the MOD deserves it's place among
the finalists, even just on technical merit, but the composition
sounds startling familiar.  It sounds far too good a piece of music
to be an original from the demo scene.

Another way you could add some randomness is to have a table of 256 bytes
(That is each byte only occuring once but in a random place. No repeats)

So when you get a random byte with one of the routine above you can index
into this array and get a new unique value, and using that index in again.

About three time makes it look fairly random. I used this to do a fade/morph
routine between two pictures.

I have tried twice to get this, and it just won't make it through

Has anyone else managed to get it to work?

If so, what version of dms did you use, etc.?

Oh dear.

It seems like a corrupt version of our dema ("Reductio Ad Absurdum") is
being spread all over the place.

This is bad publicity so we have decided to do something about it.

To obtain the REAL (i.e. working) version of our demo, write a nice letter
to the following address:

              Jaggadash / NOICE
              PL 291  Vejbyslatt
              260 83  Vejbystrand
              SWEDEN

NO SWAPPING!!!

If you include a blank disk in your sending, the reply is 100% guaranteed.


For those of you who haven't heard of this demo, all I can say is...
check it out for yourselves! It's quite different from traditional, boring
3D-vector demos - it actually has a message (AND contains some pretty weird
effects as well). People seem to either LOVE or HATE it...
