| Can anyone tell me how I can get sendmail 5.61 to pass DECnet type addresses

You should never get node::user as components of an 822 address.  it has to
be "node::user" because the ':' is an illegal character, except in the
construct

     route       =  1#("@" domain) ":"           ; path-relative

     (eg <@ukc.ac.uk:A.Macpherson@stl.stc.co.uk> )

in the back of 822

things in double quotes are atoms which are left strictly alone.  If your
VMS node dosen't quote the string before handing it off to SMTP it is
broken and should be fixed.  The "::" handling equally should be removed
from UK2.1

Not what you wanted to hear :-(.
