I am using HP300 (MPE XL Operating System) and HPDESK ver B.03.B0.
I have a problem on mailing between HPDESK and foreign systems. When mail
is delivered by the truck from foreign system, a ARPA file is created and
the field sender in the ARPA file is looked this :-
Sender: "J wilkinson (J.wilkinson@ucq.edu.au)"@[vaxen/ux]
| |
foreign address gateway
if the length of the string inside the () bracket is longer than 32
characters then HPDESK will ignore that string and therefore the sender
address will become "J wilkinson /vaxen/ux" which is incorrect and cannot
be used for replying.
Is anyone out there knows how to overcome the 32 characters restriction
or any different format of the sender field that HPDESK is also used,
please mail to me on the email address below.
Thank in advance.
Have a nice day.
Phong.

Phong, as I understand you should address the mail in this way:
To: J wilkinson (ucq.edu.au) /vaxen/ux or maybe
To: J.Wilkinson (ucq.edu.au) /vaxen/ux
^
in general UserName (ForeignSystem) /system/gateway
if you like to try my address from into HP-Desk should be
eduardo (psg.com) /....
When I send messages from Internet to HP-Desk the receiver wasn't able
to reply the message, the address must be entered by hand each time.
Hope it helps.

Though I cannot be certain this will work with the address format that you are using, what you could do is to change your application to add on the end of the input IPC file to the arpa truck an indicator that will force the foreign address part to be extended, rather than as part of the name. ie JOE SOAP /NODE & (FOREIGN ADDRESS) rather than JOE SOAP (FOREIGN ADDRESS) / NODE. You should put an ascii "1" in the column to the right of the "suppress message header" indicator. The extended foreign address field can be up to 512 characters long. I hope this is helpful (and indeed works!) Regards Martin Leech HPDESK development team HP UK.

I know we do use the gateway access (over a lan connection) to an HP9000 system running HP-UX. Our address from desk to unix looks like: ux_acct (ux_acct)/loc/sub_loc where ux_acct is my unix account name, loc and sub_loc are location code and sublocation codes. The mail is dumped onto the unix hub and directed to ux_acct, where ever that account lives. This implies that all ux_acct's are unique - or that there are more than one gateway. Also, we use the autoforward on the hpdesk to redirect our mail to the unix hub over the gateway. This eliminates the need for desk users to know our unix acct names. I don't know if this solves your problem, but it works for us. bobk@hpda.hp.com
