This is a frequently-asked question, and it has a simple answer, so I'm posting it. Some systems within AT&T support 'smart mailers', and the way to invoke them is to send mail to ...!smart-site!RFC976-address!user In this case it would be ihnp4!gmr.com!marselle. Current large mail gateways into and out of AT&T which support this syntax are: ihnp4 cbosgd mtune clyde codas There is a simple way for any site to support this syntax directly - install smail, and route your internet traffic to one of the gateways. Yes, I know this doesn't belong in UNIX-WIZARDS, but I'm responding. Followups have been directed to comp.mail.uucp. -- Jonathan Clark jhc@mtune.att.com, attmail!jonathan The Englishman never enjoys himself except for some noble purpose.
