Hi folks. I have been trying to get E-mail to an individual at IBM for a
couple of weeks now.
I'm trying to mail to someone at East Fishkill. He has given me
his address as -- CALDWELL@FSHVMX.IBM.COM --.
When I mail to this address it bounces and says that " fshvmx "
(note change in case) does not exist. However my party insists
that he has given me his address correctly. The bounce is printed
below:
From: RELAY Mail System (MMDF) <uunet!RELAY.CS.NET!mmdf>
Sender: uunet!RELAY.CS.NET!mmdf
Subject: Failed mail (msg.aa09896)
To: hcx1!HARDY!fcs
Status: RO
Your message could not be delivered to
'@ibm.com:CALDWELL@fshvmx.ibm.com (host: ibm.com) (queue: ibm-sj)'
for the following reason: ' Unknown Host 'fshvmx''
(My message follows)
I have sent mail to the Postmaster@ibm.com, and while it has not bounced
there has been no reply. Neither myself nor the destination party is very
sophisticated in E-mail or the mysteries of the net. I suspect he is not
aware of some internal domain name that is needed from the outside.
If anyone has any experience in getting mail to IBM or knows who I might
contact to help me, I would *greatly* appreciate any assistance. Please
E-Mail as I don't usually read this group. I will summarize if there is
sufficient interest.
Thanx in advance,
Fred Sabernick
