Can somebody help me? I have been given the e-mail address of a friend at the University of Colorado at Boulder,. The address I was given was: usernamme%cubldr@vaxf.colorado.edu which as far as I know, seems like it could be correct (although deep down inside I think it should be username%vaxf@cubldr.colorado.edu). Anyway, does anybody know if this address format *is* correct or not, and if this is a real address at CU Boulder? Is there an alternative way to address mail to this location? For what its worth, I have been told from my friend that they are a BITNET site (my system isn't), so maybe there is something special about that. (Darn, I knew I should have read all those past news threads regarding sending mail to BITNET sites :-). Thanks in advance. E-mail to me is fine. If it helps, a copy of the 'Unknown host' message I received follows: Alan ============================================================================= From marob!hombre!lll-winken!ames!rutgers!columbia.edu!mailer-daemon Received: by lilink.UUCP (smail2.5) id AA02787; 1 Jun 89 20:16:57 EDT (Thu) Received: by marob.masa.com (/\=-/\ Smail3.1.17.5 #17.3) id <m0fSu58-0001E4C@marob.masa.com>; Thu, 1 Jun 89 11:35 EDT Received: by hombre.MASA.COM (smail2.5) id AA02838; 1 Jun 89 11:42:51 EDT (Thu) Received: from ames.arc.nasa.gov by lll-winken.llnl.gov (5.52/smail2.5); Thu, 1 Jun 89 08:19:47 PDT id AA02307 for hombre!marob!lilink!asf Received: by ames.arc.nasa.gov (5.61/1.2); Thu, 1 Jun 89 05:36:40 -0700 Received: from columbia.edu by rutgers.edu (5.59/SMI4.0/RU1.1/3.04) with UUCP id AA19648; Thu, 1 Jun 89 08:30:43 EDT Received: by columbia.edu (5.59++/0.3) id AA18980; Thu, 1 Jun 89 08:14:21 EDT Date: Thu, 1 Jun 89 08:14:21 EDT From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <marob!ames!rutgers!columbia.edu!mailer-daemon> Subject: Returned mail: Host unknown Message-Id: <8906011214.AA18980@columbia.edu> To: <ames!lll-winken!hombre!marob!lilink!asf> Cc: columbia!postmaster Status: RO ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 <rutgers!ncar!boulder!vaxf.colorado.edu!username@cubldr@columbia.UUCP>...
