Although I agree that email peering is a seriously bad idea, I don't think that the analogy to uucp is correct.
You're right -- I left out the routing table bit, which also existed some time ago. BITNET used the bitnet.links file; here's an old one still accessible for viewing: http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena/reference/net-directory/host-tables/bitnet.links Similar concept, same scaling problems; it just hides the explicit routing from the user (as would any modern "peering" system, presumably). -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
