That's why I wrote my own mail11 gateways several years ago. Anonymous ftp to cs.utk.edu, dir readonly/mail11, files mail11d.tar and mail11.tar. With my gateway, the return addresses on mail from a DECnet node look like username@node.decnet, but you can configure this to be username@node.anything-you-want (for the case where you have a wildcard MX record for an entire DECnet). -- Keith Moore / U.Tenn CS Dept / 107 Ayres Hall / Knoxville TN 37996-1301 Internet: moore@cs.utk.edu BITNET: moore@utkvx UNIX is your brain..............SysV is your brain on drugs.
