I need to send mail to a site known as "unconnvm" which is exclusively a BITNET node. What is the best way to get at it from this UUCP site? Thanks Rob James

Well, actually the site name is 'uconnvm' (University of Connecticut). The way you get it there from UUCP is do mail it to: uucpsite!uucpsite!psuvax1!username@uconnvm.BITNET (ie: 822 rationality) I believe 'ucbvax' in place of psuvax1 works also but can't vouch for them. -- Spoken: John D.

The given uucpsite!psuvax1!person@site.BITNET will not work with many mailers including the one that comes with 4.2 unless the mailer is setup to deal with knowing about bitnet as a domain. You may get mail from daemon saying BITNET unknown domain. I use uucpsite!psuvax1!person%site.BITNET and it seems to fight its way through most mailers. -- Thanks for all the fish...

However -- this only works because of our rather strange mailer situation at the moment -- the incoming mail get munged through sendmail, who understands how to change '%' to '@'. At that point sendmail gives it to the UREP mailer. Now, assuming the UREP mailer were completely working (which it will be eventually), the sendmail step would be eliminated -- and the mail would come directly into the UREP mailer. At that point it would barf since the old syntax for UREP mail is host%user and the UREP mailer supports the old format. Just a helpful hint. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? -- Spoken: John D. Irwin AT&T: 814-237-5068 Nets: jdi@psuvax1.{BITNET,CSNET} Uucp: {akgua, allegra, cornell, pitt, purdue, ihnp4, burdvax}!psuvax1!jdi
