Joe -

We're using Charon 4.0 and Pegasus v2.3 in our network for email to and from
our Novell-based users, and the trick is this:

Charon expects to be handling email for MULTIPLE servers (even if you only
have one server), so it expects to see addresses of the form "user@servername"
in the SMTP dialog. So in your case, the mailer should resolv deliveries to
site "wtad" by connecting with "cms" and using "user@wtad" as the recipient
address.

Note also that charon does NOT accept bang-format or mixed-mode addressing. For
more information, check the Charon SMTP debug window on the console of cms.
