As of today I'm having no problem establishing an SMTP connection to
ia-ngnet.army.mil.  Your problem may have disappeared by now.  If not,
send me an actual copy of a bounce message which I can forward to them.

As for addressing, I'd suggest trying both user%f20@ia-ngnet.army.mil
and f20!user@ia-ngnet.army.mil for the first attempt.  Maybe the
gateway knows best how to route it.  If that fails, I guess another
query to the postmaster would be in order.
