Really now ... why we using nanog@merit.edu instead of nanog@nanog.org? Totally messed up my mail filtering system.
Because there are people left in the world that did not get the word that the mailer was moving from merit->nanog.org. So some forwarding mechanism was left in place at merit so that mail to the old system would get forwarded to the new system. Frank found out that addresses of the form To: "nanog@merit.edu" <nanog@nanog.org> were interpreted by Mutt to be TWO separate addresses - even though one of them was a "constant" (thusly identified by the quote marks around the text... and should have been ignored. The "@" made Mutt think it was an actual address that its' user mis-typed. So to fix the user's mistake, Mutt forwarded the mail to the mis-typed address.) My diagnosis. Sounds reasonable anyway.
Sometime last week people started sending TO or CC'ing nanog@merit.edu instead of nanog@nanog.org.
Can we go back? Thanks, mkay.
Kris
