Norteman Just for the record, the Person@Place.dec@decwrl.dec.com syntax is deprecated and will not work after the end of 1990. The correct fallback syntax (only to be used by moldy old systems that don't speak MX) would be: hamnqvist%casee.enet@decwrl.dec.com This seems like a small change but as the gateway mail administrator, I can assure you that .dec is a lot harder to support than .enet. For more gateway information, grab "gateway.doc" via anonymous FTP from gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2). Digital employees with Easynet access can decnet-copy (that's dcp on Ultrix, COPY on VMS) DECWRL::"/gateway.doc". Comments and questions welcome.
