I also need help with re-write rules.

I applied the [mx.examples]name_conversion module and defined the re-write
rules as indicated in the 00README.NAME_CONVERSION instructions, but am 
having no luck.

I want to re-route all incoming Internet mail through MRGATE to users'
Mailworks accounts. (The mailbox in MRGATE is "AM")

To do this from VAXmail I would type:

TO: mx%"'MRGATE::AM::username'@nodex.ulowell.edu"

What rewrite rule would essentially translate:

username@nodex.ulowell.edu    to    'MRGATE::AM::username'@nodex.ulowell.edu ?

I have tried every combination I can think of, but nothing works.  I would
like to avoid the obvious, which is setting all VAXmail accounts to Mailworks.
(NOT a pretty solution for 13,000 accounts!)

Thanks,

Eileen Byrne
