dfm@sagepub.UUCP (David F. McCune) (03/14/89)
I posted a message a while ago about addressing syntax for
a uucp -> bitnet message. That worked fine. But the professor
to whom I mailed the message can't figure out how to send
a message back to me. Could someone tell me the bitnet -> uucp
syntax for a message to:
...srhqla!sagepub!dfm
The professor in question is at:
ufruss@nervm
So I want to tell him how to send me a message.
Thanks much!
David

Ah, here's the rub ...
On BITNET each site has its own idea of the right way to do mail.
They tell everybody else how to send mail there by way of some
pre-defined tokens that are stored in a file available from BITNIC.
There are many different ways of sending mail across BITNET. "NERVM"
may not be able to to the right thing, which is:
send a PUNCH file containing BSMTP formatted data to
an appropriate user ID at some node. If it were sent
to MAILER@PSUVAX1 then the right things would happen.
But without knowing what software is available at NERVM it's hard
to say what s/he needs to do. I do know that if they run the Crosswell
mailer that it has magic stuff in it to turn mail addressed to
user@host.uucp
into a BSMTP file of the right qualities and ship it off to MAILER@PSUVAX1.
