assuming that my mxdial.c is up-to-date (sources is failing in a wierd way), that's not the full story. mxdial calls callmx. callmx has this code static int callmx(DS *ds, char *dest, char *domain) { int fd, i, nmx; char addr[Maxstring]; /* get a list of mx entries */

Man, this mailing list seems to love my contaminative presence. If you don't want me to post please don't challenge my previous postings. Otherwise, I'll have to respond. 1. "As-Salam" is a noun, "Salam," with the definite article "Al." It means "peace." It is also one of the many descriptive
