I'm sure this type of question has been addressed a zillion times here, but here goes : I have an associate who works at Queens university Canada, who has an account on one of the IBM mainframes there (Sitename : 'qucdn' running VM/CMS) which is on the BITNET. I would like to exchange mail. I have no problem sending mail, I am using a unix machine with a uucp connection, and address all my mail to ..!uunet!qucdn.bitnet!USER_NAME where USER_NAME is the name of my associate. My mail arrives at 'qucdn'. My associate on the other hand has difficulties sending mail from 'qucdn' to my site. Several paths have been tried, one of which is : watmath!watcsc!mike@uunet.UU.NET All mail sent to this path is returned un-delivered. What path should be used to send mail from 'qucdn' on the BITNET to ..!uunet!watmath!watcsc!mike ?? Any replies would be appreciated, mail can be sent to : ..!uunet!watmath!watcsc!mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mike@watcsc.waterloo.edu (Mike Furtney) To be filled in -- once I find something clever to put here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WATERLOO.EDU is a valid BITNET domain. Assuming that the mailer at QUCDN is properly configured, your friend should be able to send to you directly on BITNET using the address MIKE@WATCSC.WATERLOO.EDU. The BITNET mail goes to MAILER@WATER.BITNET, which sends it on to you. Another route would be via the Internet, and again your domain address mike@watcsc.waterloo.edu should be sufficient. Some BITNET mailers still don't handle MX records however, so it may be necessary to use the address mike%watcsc.waterloo.edu@maytag.waterloo.edu. -- --Bill Kinnersley Physics Department Montana State University Bozeman, MT 59717 INTERNET: iphwk@terra.oscs.montana.edu BITNET: IPHWK@MTSUNIX1 226 Transfer complete.
