Message-ID: <1634.252b15c7@esat.kuleuven.ac.be> Date: 5 Oct 89 08:50:14 GMT Organization: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven,ESAT - dep. Elect. Engineering, Belgium Lines: 37 - We are using our Ultrix 3.1 MicrovaxII as a major Gateway between a local campus DECnet network (consisting mainly of VMS hosts) and the outside world with respect to e-mail (and Usenet news). User's on the VMS side can send e-mail using a syntax like ULTRIX-GATEWAY::"e-mail-address" in VMS Mail. Now to the outside world however we would like to hide the fact that this Ultrix Gateway was used in order to send this mail i.e: we would like this To address to appear to it's recipient just like : e-mail-address # without any quotes in it ! Now it's rather easy using sendmail to rewrite an adress like ULTRIX-GATEWAY::"e-mail-address" into "e-mail-address" (using something like R$-::$+ $2 # for instance). But as stated above this result in a To line looking like ---> To: "e-mail-address". I'd be very interesting to know (having spend lot's of hours into this one) whether there's any way at all to get rid of the quotes as well! -- Marc Elsen (System Manager/Software Engineer) Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Dep.
