3:770/3
OK thanks, so the INTL kludge should not be there - correct?
That's correct, it shouldn't...
Interesting, I've had a quick laymans look at the FTSC.ORG docs and there's a couple of mentions of the INTL kludge.
The first seems to talk about it as a tool to help routing mail between zones and zone gates. The discussion doc about INTL talks of Usenet as being seen as another zone. Netmail as a term is not used in that earlier doc from 1987
The second doc talks explicitly about using INTL as a netmail addressing control line. Written in 1995 it talks about a new version of the kludge to replace INTL, TOPT, FMPT, MSGTO and DOMAIN
"It is differentiated from the old INTL control by the presence of the colon ":". The colon also makes it fully compliaint with the control line convention specified in FTS1." says the doc.
I just mention this as it looks like the gateway software is not using a
colon in it's kludge.
I'm wondering if the intention from the developer was to implement the kludge according to the 1980's spec and usage?
A quick check so far of the config options for the software don't look
hopeful I can amend anything. Sorry.
