I am trying to send mail to someone who is an IBM PROFS user at Kodak
in Rochester, N.Y. and I have so far been totally unsuccessful. I can
get to the kodak domain, but the address information I pass to the
relay seems to be bad internal to the domain. I got the address from
the administrator at Kodak, but I work at Prime and our mail system
uses a different set of separators. I think that smex02 is the
system name and lockovm2 is the user id. As for kr25, neither I nor
the guy I am trying to mail to, has any idea.

The address I was given was:

      kr25::lockovm2::smex02@kodakr.kodak.com

but using that never gets outside my own domain:

MAIL MEMO   kr25::lockovm2::smex02@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
Mail addressed to "@kr25.Prime.COM,@,@lockovm2,@:smex02@kodakr.kodak.com" could not be forwarded.
no route known for "kr25.prime.com"

So I tried a couple of variations:

MAIL MEMO   lockovm2::kr25::smex02@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
Mail addressed to "@lockovm2.Prime.COM,@,@kr25,@:smex02@kodakr.kodak.com" could not be forwarded.
no route known for "lockovm2.prime.com"

MAIL MEMO   @lockovm2:smex02@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
Mail addressed to "@lockovm2.Prime.COM,@:smex02@kodakr.kodak.com" could not be forwarded.
no route known for "lockovm2.prime.com"

MAIL MEMO   lockovm2::smex02@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
Mail addressed to "@lockovm2.Prime.COM:smex02@kodakr.kodak.com" could not be forwarded.
no route known for "lockovm2.prime.com"

And eventually was able to get TO Kodak.Com, but thats are far as it goes:

MAIL MEMO   smex02@lockovm2@kr25@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
554 <@KODAKR.KODAK.COM,@smex02:kr25@lockovm2>... 550 Host unknown (Authoritative answer from name server)

MAIL MEMO   smex02@lockovm2@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
554 <@KODAKR.KODAK.COM:lockovm2@smex02>... 550 Host unknown (Authoritative answer from name server)

MAIL MEMO   lockovm2@smex02@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
554 <@KODAKR.KODAK.COM:smex02@lockovm2>... 550 Host unknown (Authoritative answer from name server)

MAIL MEMO   kr25@smex02@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
554 <@KODAKR.KODAK.COM:kr25@smex02>... 550 Host unknown (Authoritative answer from name server)

MAIL MEMO   kr25@lockovm2@smex02@kodakr.kodak.com   RETURNED:
554 <@KODAKR.KODAK.COM,@kr25:smex02@lockovm2>... 550 Host unknown (Authoritative answer from name server)

Does ANYBODY have any idea what is going on?         HELP !!!!

Thanks!
