I am trying to figure out how to communicate via Email from
here (AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL, on uucp) and my wife
at University of Illinois at Chicago (on internet).  We have
electronic addresses which allow us to exchange mail, and I
can send mail to my wife with delivery in 10 minutes or less,
but mail the other way (UIC -> ATT-BL) takes overnight.

Anyone out there know what is going on?

Mail from here to UIC is addressed :
		arpa!uicvm.uic.edu!<user-id>
and gets through quickly.

Mail from UIC to here is addressed:
		<user-id>%ihlpb@research.att.com
and takes overnight.

(This is a copy of a posting to internal att newsgroups.  For those
of you at att, sorry if you see it twice, but the netnews software
won't allow cross posting between att and external newsgroups.)
