Can anybody tell me what pathname someone at a uucp site needs to use to send mail to me at a csnet site? The sender is at ihnp4; my csnet address is marselle@gmr.com. thanks, Jim Marselle GM Research Labs

The sender is at ihnp4; my csnet address is marselle@gmr.com. thanks, Jim Marselle GM Research Labs People on UUCP can reach hosts on CSNET via relay.cs.net. Route the mail via a UUCP site that is also connected to the internet such as Harvard or Berkeley. so ... ihnp4!..!harvard!marselle%gmr.com@relay.cs.net Leo

This has a high probability of failure, since some of the uucp nodes that
it will pass through might look at the address and give the @ precedence.
The way to route to domain addresses through UUCP is to use domain!user
syntax. Also, the UUCP->Internet gateways all support MX records,
so you don't need to specify relay.cs.net explicitly:
ihnp4!...!harvard!gmr.com!marselle
