AKCS interlinks with other sites to form a networked conferencing environment; ala "fidonet" as it were but with much more power and flexibility. The primary differences between an AKCS mailbox and a "normal" mailbox are that the method of user validation is different, and the user's mailboxes are stored in a different location (as well as under different permissions). The enclosed director entry looks up the AKCS user file location and reads through the file to determine if the user(s) presented in the address list are resolvable to AKCS users. Those that do resolve are stacked for delivery. It is recommended that this entry be placed before the "user" director resolver, and that you specify a prefix (such as "akcs.") for these entries. I can provide a copy of our directors and transports entries on request if they'd help clarify the situation any. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, ddsw1!karl) Data: [+1 312 566-8912], Voice: [+1 312 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
