If you need to send mail to a user of any of the Sprintmail based
systems such as TELEMAIL, Omnet, GTE Mail, NASAMAIL or GSFCMail the
following format will work (roughly following RFC-822):
FOR PRIVATE SYSTEMS (like NASAMAIL, GSFCMAIL):
/PN=fullname/ADMD=TELEMAIL/PRMD=private domain/O=organization/C=US
/@SPRINT.COM
or
/DD.UN=username/ADMD=TELEMAIL/PRMD=private domain/O=organization/C=US
/@SPRINT.COM
FOR PUBLIC SYSTEMS (like TELEMAIL, OMNET):
/PN=fullname/ADMD=TELEMAIL/O=organization/C=US/@SPRINT.COM
or
/DD.UN=username/ADMD=TELEMAIL/O=organization/C=US/@SPRINT.COM
<fullname> is the firstname, middle initial (optional), lastname as
as determined by the foreign system's DIRECTORY, seperated by periods.
(ex. JOHN.R.SMITH)
This information is best gotten directly from the recipient (or wait
for X.500 !)
<username> is the username of the recipient on the foreign system.
(ex. JSMITH, JRSMITH, J.SMITH)
NOTE: - Do not use the '<' and '>' around fullname and username.
- Because mail differs from machine to machine on the
Internet, extra header info may be required. (ex. SMTP%)

I have implemented shortcuts on the SPRINTMAIL side (SITE ALIAS), but not on the Internet side. ///Dave Weissman at Goddard Space Flight Center/NASA - Code 543.0/LAN SPAN address is ZAPHOD::DWEISSMAN or SDCDCL::DWEISSMAN TCP-IP address is dweissman@amarna.gsfc.nasa.gov or @zaphod.gsfc.nasa.gov Sprintnet's X.400 at (C:USA,A:TELEMAIL,P:GSFC,FN:DAVID,SN:WEISSMAN) (This area free of fake, profound sayings by semi-obscure philosophers, writers or deep characters from prose you were forced to read in high-school and college....especially no KANT, WILDE, or ASIMOV)
