Here's another solution to the VMS long mail address problem.
1) Create a distribution file:
mail_distribution_dir:info-vax.dis
which contains the line
netmail::"info-vax@kl.sri.com"
2) Define a logical pointing to the distribution file:
$ define info-vax "@mail_distribution_dir:info-vax.dis"
NOTE: you must use the "" in the log def due to the '@'
Including the "@" in the logical def allows users to send mail as if
they are sending it down the hall.
By putting the long address in a file, I get around the quotes problem
in the address while making a logical def.
One of duties is to manage a CAE facility, and little items like this
help to lessen the load of answering questions for a group of engineers
that in some cases don't have a lot of computer expertise. Especially
since I have a lot of engineering duties myself.
