I'm trying to send mail from a UNIX system on Bitnet to somebody on a system that uses x400 address formats. The address I'm sending to looks something like this: /C=US/STUFF/MORESTUFF/YETMORE/@SPRINT.COM But no matter what I do, if I put that address after the "mail" command I end up with a "no such file" error message. Apparently those slashes get interpreted as directory delimiters. I've tried quotation marks, aliases, and backslashes in various combinations with no luck--always the same message. How do I get mail to treat that string very literally, without thinking I've written a file path?
