Subject:  Need to get to a uucp node from internet
Reply-to: donahoe@acsnovell1.uta.edu
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v2.2 (R3).

    I am trying to send mail from a machine on the internet (DOS-
based PC running Pegasus Mail through a CHARON gateway to internet),
and I need to know how to address the To: line to get to a "uucp
only" xenix-based PC.  I know an internet address to the internet
gateway for their uucp "net", but I can't seem to connect to the
gateway.  I have even tried to send mail to "Postmaster" at the
gateway site, and have had my mail bounce as "undeliverable for 3
days".  None of these sites are in the UUCP maps, but the gateway
machine does have an entry in the nic.ddn.mil whois server. I have
tried to send mail to the addresses listed at nic for this domain,
but all my messages time out as undeliverable after 3 days.  Anyway,
the nodes are connected through uucp dial-ups as shown below, and my
mail is bouncing at the gateway level (coming from outside the uucp
"net" into IA_NGNET.army.mil from acsnovell1.uta.edu).  So my first
question is:

Why won't Postmaster@IA_NGNET.army.mil accept any mail (or anyone
else at IA_NGNET)?

and my second question is:

If I do eventually get through this gateway, how do I send to f20?
Do I have to mix uucp bang paths with internet addresses, do I use !
or % or :: or what to separate the name elements?
