Could someone explain to me how to send mail from the uucp net
to bitnet. For example, suppose I have the bitnet address:
ufjoe@NERVM
I normally send outbound uucp mail via the site srhqla. So
do I send the message to:
srhqla!ufjoe@NERVM.bitnet
or is there some other magic incantation? (BTW, I don't
have the pathalias database on my machine, but srhqla does.)
Thanks very much!
David

It's rather simple actually, and at the end of this I've appended a description. But first ... Using something like uucp-host!user@bitnet-host isn't clear. This is because you can't tell ahead of time which of the two "operators" to "evaluate" first. That incantation could either mean to send it to the bitnet-host first or the uucp-host first and would end up at two different places ... Ok. This does it .. time for me to begin Commonly Asked Mail Questions: In article <3136@ihuxv.ATT.COM> johnnyr@ihuxv.ATT.COM (John R. Rosenberg) writes: >I need to send mail to a machine on bitnet >from my machine (which is UUCP). A: You route the mail through a UUCP-BITNET gateway. The best known such gateway is psuvax1.{uucp,bitnet,psu.edu}. You do this like: path!path!psuvax1!host.bitnet!user Where "path!path" is the path from your site to psuvax1. There are other gateways listed in the file d.Top which is posted occasionally in comp.mail.maps. If you use pathalias to generate a routing database for you, and have your mailer consult this database when sending out mail, then all you should have to do is use "host.bitnet!user" or "user@host.bitnet". Sorry John. But I've been meaning to start this file anyway and your question prompted me to do it. -- <-- David Herron; an MMDF guy <david@ms.uky.edu> <-- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <-- <-- For a good time send mail to somebody@ms.uky.edu
