| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This MailMan patch is in response to a problem noted on FORUM.
MailMan sends a message to Site A about the rejection.
MailMan keeps trying to forward the message from Site B to Site C
and keeps sending rejection messages to Site A, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
MailMan does not notify the user at Site B who forwarded the message.
This patch does two things:
1. Sends the reject message to the user who forwarded the message.
2. Changes the status of the message so that MailMan does not attempt to
send it again.
===========================================================================
This patch can be installed with users on the system.
===========================================================================

1. This routine is usually mapped on systems that allow mapping,
so you will need to disable mapping for the effected routine.
2. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
option will load the KIDS package onto your system.

User at Site B forwards the message to Site C (in the VA).
XMSERR 2286812 3651687 32
============================================================================
Site C has records in ^XMBX(4.501 (do not accept messages from domains
which match).
Site C rejects the message because the originating domain (Site A)
partial-matches the 'do not accept' record.
