A friend of mine has an address of the form: user@node.bitnet I can send mail to him without any problem, but when he tries to send stuff to me, he hits a wall apparently between bitnet and usenet, or maybe even between his node and bitnet. The node is running a VAX/VMS mailer, so that his specification must begin: in%"<address>" To complicate things, my address is absolute (a uucp bang-path) from uunet on down, and the parser on his side always chokes on the bangs first and foremost. Any suggestions? You may e-mail me BUT don't do an automatic reply (it sends messages into limbo). Thanks in advance. ...uunet!vrdxhq!pbs!npri6!eric <<<<< Replies must use the absolute address.
