The name of the gateway host is > still NSS.CS.UCL.AC.UK. The location is correct but the name isn't. You should use nsfnet-relay.ac.uk. The old name of nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk *may* still be left around as an alias, but as the name changed about a year ago I doubt it will be around for much longer, if it still exists at all. Also, you will only be able to get mail to the AC.UK subdomain through that gateway due to the way the Computer Board (government agency) funds it. For the rest of the UK (and AC.UK if you want) its down to bang addresses of the form ..!mcsun!ukc!nott-cs!K.Hopkins, and this route is charged to the UK user on send and receive. +--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | K.Hopkins%cs.nott.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk | Kevin Hopkins, | | or ..!mcsun!ukc!nott-cs!K.Hopkins | Department of Computer Science,| | or in the UK: K.Hopkins@uk.ac.nott.cs | University of Nottingham, | | CHAT-LINE: +44 602 484848 x 3815 | Nottingham, ENGLAND, NG7 2RD | +--------------------------------------------+--------------------------------+
