[comp.unix.ultrix] problems with mail11

Running DECnet 2.0 on Ultrix 2.0 on a uVaxII, we are trying to send
mail to an address like dal1::"in%user@site" on a VMS machine.  The address
is rejected with a message "error parsing 'IN'".  The rejection is
not by sendmail, but by the mail11 program (I have tried calling mail11
directly). 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem?

    The same problem occurs with ULTRIX1.2... I have struggled with
    trying to send stuff across DECnet from ULTRIX to a VMS foriegn 
    mail escape (the IN% part of the above address) for quite a while.
    If anyone knows how to do it, please post to the net!
