Jacobsen) Newsgroups: comp.dcom.telecom Subject: Re: E-mail to the UK Message-ID: Date: 21 Nov 89 03:53:51 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Lines: 15 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 525, message 5 of 11 JANET is connected to the Internet via a gateway which used to be at the University College London (UCL), but is now at a different location in London (ULCC, I think). The name of the gateway host is still NSS.CS.UCL.AC.UK. Your mailer should be smart enough to recognise addresses of the form: user@someplace.ac.uk. Please note that the domain ordering is "backwards" (they think it is "the right way round" and there are arguments which support their claim, but let's not get into that...). You may therefore be given addresses of the form: user@uk.ac.someplace and you'll have to reverse it before composing your message. Good luck! Ole
