To send mail from bitnet to uucp (usenet) requires special software in many cases. (A large number of bitnet sites can only talk to other bitnet sites unless special gateway software is used... I love IBM :-) If there is someone in particular who cant get mail thru to you, get them to send me a note (scott@utoronto.bitnet) and I might be able to help them out. What is basically required is to send mail thru the gateway at psuvax1 which will transfer their mail to uucp. scott -- "I'm not paranoid... the world IS out to get me!" ...{utai, utzoo, decvax, ihnp4, cbosgd, utcsri, mnetor}!utgpu!scott scott@utoronto.bitnet Scott J.M.

From BITNET, the address to use is: user@node.UUCP The syntax from MOST VM/CMS BITNET nodes is: mail marv@vsedev.UUCP (mixed (obviously, this is to send mail to me) case sensitivity is important! -marvin

I love IBM :-) Bitnet users should check at the BITNIC for a information on UUCP gateways, there are lots of them. Some sites are using us (UWOCC1) as a UUCP gateway because we support the pathalias maps ... user@host.UUCP is nicer than specifying a route. -- -- Title: Postmaster (E-mail) University of Western Ontario Telephone: (519) 661 2151 x6026 Postal: Computing and Communications Services Natural Sciences Centre University of Western Ontario London, Ontario N6A 5B7 Canada CDN: {postmaster/reggers}@julian.UWO.CDN BITNET: {postmaster/reggers}@uwovax.BITNET NETNORTH: {postmaster/reggers}@julian.UWO.NETNORTH UUCP: {postmaster/reggers}@julian.UUCP (...!watmath!julian..)
