[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] route needed

kate@tecnet1.jcte.jcs.mil (10/16/90)

I am trying to send a message to the UK. The address is:
user@company.co.uk
I know it is a valid address over there but my DOD machine doesn't know how
to get it there. I was wondering if there is a static route I could type
that will get it over there?
Thanks

Try routing it via nsfnet-relay.ac.uk, i.e. try either
 
      user%company.co.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk
 
 or
 
      user%uk.co.company@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk
 
(The  second  form  might  just  be  required  because  our mail
addresses are the other way round).
 
If  you  look at the trace of this message to you, you should be
able to see this gateway in the route.
