Can anyone tell me how I can get sendmail 5.61 to pass DECnet type addresses
unchanged? Using UK-sendmail 2.1 to build the tables, the effect I get is
that
user::node@somewhere
is translated to
user%node@somewhere
Thanks.

You should never get node::user as components of an 822 address. it has to be "node::user" because the ':' is an illegal character, except in the construct route = 1#("@" domain) ":" ; path-relative (eg <@ukc.ac.uk:A.Macpherson@stl.stc.co.uk> ) in the back of 822 things in double quotes are atoms which are left strictly alone. If your VMS node dosen't quote the string before handing it off to SMTP it is broken and should be fixed. The "::" handling equally should be removed from UK2.1 Not what you wanted to hear :-(.
