thank you for stating it so succienctly...

the only way that i know of is for the mailer with the problem to be
improperly configured... MvdV (apologies if i got the abbreviation
incorrect) posted at least one method that it could happen... that method
being an incomplete dial translation table... in his example, it resulted
in national calls (in his area?) being handled properly(?) but all
international (to him) calls resulting in the raw nodelisted number being
dialed without translation and/or any special dialing codes being
prepended...

in any case, it comes right back to what i and others have been saying all
along... specifically, the keywords are "improperly configured"
;)
