To correctly manage the RFC 822 domain addressing I need to send to VMS system adresses like that in%"user@domain" This addresses scheme run o.k. on VMS machines, but when I try that from the Ultrix-DECnet I, and also the italian and european DEC support stuff, have verified that the DECnet mailer daemon unexpectedly convert the address. After many failed trials the european DEC support has obliged me to upgrade at the Ultrix version 3.1. Also this last trial has been without success. Here is the script of "mail -v" to verify the uncorrect mail11dv3 address management. It is possibeleto see the bad traslation of the "in%" into "in@". That is not correct!!!!!!! I suspect that the DEC people has hard coded in the mail11dv3 some address management. It is that correct ? And if affirmative why this choice, considered that it is the sendmail job to manage the address conversion ? Any suggestion is well accepted. ============================================================ Script started on Mon Sep 4 15:15:51 1989 arco% mail -v Mail version 2.18 5/19/83. Type ? for help.
