I hope this is the right newsgroup for this question.  I am in need of help
from a network guru.

I'm trying to connect a WordPerfect X.400 gateway for Retix X.400 OpenServer.
The problem is whenever I send anything via the WordPerfect X.400 gateway to
another network gateway that uses X.400 addressing schemes, it comes in an
address that I can't reply to.  (In this case, it's a CCMail to X.400 gateway.)

I went through WordPerfect tech support for several days before finally
giving up.  But my gut finds it incredibly unlikely that a gateway from
a company like WordPerfect would overlook a problem like this.

Here's the addressing scheme the WordPerfect X.400 gateway recognizes for
our system:

WPX400:"c= US,a=<some admd>, p=<some prmd>, o=wpgate, dt=wpmail, dv=host(uid)"

The address that the other network gateways receives is:

/c=us, /a=<some admd>, /p=<some prmd>, o=wpgate, /s=uid
When I reply using this address, the WordPerfect gateway doesn't recognize
it and gives an error saying something like "Ambiguous or unrecognize
O/R name." in the Non-Delivery Report of CCMail.

I was wondering if anyone has been successful in connecting WordPerfect
Office X.400 gateway for X.400 Retix OpenServer with anything like CCMail.
If so, please share your successful configuration with me.

							Thanks a lot,
							    Joanna
