WWHCN is using the most recent configuration for 'zmailer' from CSuite.

User login names with a dot (.) in them (eg - Tim.Muir, who had a VCN
account on Chebucto) are failing.


The problem is in cf/rrouter.cf
The fix (taken from Chebucto configuration)

wwhcn:/csuite/etc/mail/cf# diff rrouter.cf rrouter.cf-original

<                 if [ $(homedirectory "$address") ]; then
<                         return $(routeuser $(list local - "$address"
$A))
<                 fi

Subject: Invalid local real name - or invalid newsgroup

In the following message, it appears from the format of certain
addresses that you have attempted to send a message to somebodys
"Real.Name", or alternatively to an USENET newsgroup.

Unfortunately both lookups have failed.  fullnames -database didn't
contain attempted  Real.Name, nor our copy of active newsgroups 
database did have such a newsgroup.

It is a common mistake to write address alike:   user.host.domain
when you REALLY wanted it to be:                 user@host.domain

error: norealname: tim.muir
