I am looking for a quick/simple(?) method to handle mail between PMDF on one
node of a non-homogeneous cluster and DEC's MRGATE and All-in-1 Mail (not IOS) 
based on another node of the cluster.

The main difficulty I face (until I can relocate the MR component to the node
with PMDf and install PMDF-MR [hooray! but not in the shorter term...]) is the 
rewriting of the from addresses of the mail entering PMDF from MRGATE. The 
from address typically looks like

	"RTWKV::MRGATE::\"AM::SYSPRGD\""@Roads.SA.Gov.AU

when it reaches it's destination. 
RTWKV = cluster alias
AM = All-in-1 Mail MR mailbox

I would have thought the best method would be to attempt to rewrite the from 
address to something more like

		sysprgd@mrgate.Roads.SA.Gov.AU

which is then easy to handle on the incoming side.

Any examples, ideas or suggestions more than welcome!!

Thanks,

	Mike.
