I'm trying to establish an email connection with an HP employee who has told me that his user name is "ajo'brien" and his machine name is "hp6650/26". So I tried mailing to him using the following address: ajo'brien%hp6650/26@hp.com I got bounced mail from relay.hp.com saying that I have an invalid machine name (in fact, hp6650/26 sounds more like a machine model number to me). No one in his office seems to know how to send mail to the outside world. Can someone from HP (or anyone else who has accomplished this feat) tell me how to go about sending e-mail from an internet address to an internal HP address? Please reply to me directly since I am not receiving this newsgroup.

The address your contact has given to you is an HPDESK address. HPDESK is HP's internal mail system between MPE machines. In order to access HPDESK from e-mail following address should be used: a_j_o'brien%hp6650@hplabs.hp.com. john@hpucph
