I have been attempting to send mail to a user through the internet by way of sprintmail. We are on the internet (me.udel.edu), using info from several sources we have been using the address: /pn=first.last/prmd=herc.abl/admd=telemail/c=us/@sprint.com I know that the user I am trying to send mail to uses WordPerfect Office on his end. They evidently have a "Retix X.400" gateway for WordPerfect Office and they use SprintMail (aka TeleMail) for their "foreign mail" delivery. By using the "mail -v" command, I have been able to track the message through the system "sprintf.merit.edu". This system claims that the address is valid and the message has been successfully delivered. I should add that I had several unsuccessful attempts where I got a "mail not deliverable" response back from the gateway I have sent several messages to "postmaster@sprint.com" and haven't gotten any replies. I have also had the person I am trying to send mail to try and send mail the other way. He was able to evidently get Sprint to trace the delivery of the message as far as the internet and just like me, he has received no negative feedback regarding the message (in other words, it didn't bounce) I have talked with people at sprint's 800 number (800 336-0437) and also have called Merit @ 800 666-3748. Everyone seems to be pointing the finger at the other party (sprint says it is an internet problem, merit says it is a sprint problem) Does anyone know of a way we might be able to resolve this for once and for all? Please, respond by email to garrett@me.udel.edu if you think you may have ANY suggestion at all for how we can make this work? I don't want to have to give in and get a mailbox on attmail or mcimail, although I am rapidly tiring of thishoo-hah and am just about ready to do this! Many, many thanks in advance!!!! (I have reference numbers for messages sent in each direction, if anyone knows how I can trace these messages, please let me know!!!) Joel
