I'm getting hundreds of "Undeliverable mail" messages via INFO-VAX from Postmaster%TRINCC.BITNET@MITVMA.MIT.EDU. In fact, five more have come in just as I have been typing in this sentence... Here is a sample below. If the problem can't be solved the "right" way (transfer agents don't have enough information to send "undeliverable mail" messages back to the original sender so they send it back to INFO-VAX instead) couldn't whatever reads the INFO-VAX mail and sends it back off to everyone in the list simply be hacked to dump any mail to INFO-VAX from users named "Postmaster" into the bit-bucket??

Also does anyone know if they, i.e. Wollongong, are reachable by E-mail ? Surface mail from Europe takes some time, and phone calls have to be made at nights ! We run the release 2.3 software and have some trouble with FTP get and dir from CMU-TEK TCP/IP to the WIN/VX system - it doesn't work. Thanks for any answer Olav
