Message-ID: <135@rruxo.UUCP> Date: Sat, 14-Dec-85 17:04:15 EST Article-I.D.: rruxo.135 Posted: Sat Dec 14 17:04:15 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 15-Dec-85 06:36:46 EST Organization: Colony, Pandora Lines: 28 I met someone the other day that is at an ARPA site (vax/vms, ugh.). I'm on SysVr2 UNIX, and I have no idea how to send mail there. He said the system name is nb:vax or nb:blue (two machines). Both are at Rutger's Univ. in New Brunswick. I can mail (uucp) to ihnp4, and a large variety of other systems. I assume that I have to find a system that has both uucp and ARPA, since my site does not have ARPA. I think that ihnp4 is on both nets. So, my question is, how do I address the mail to get it there? I've sent mail to a site at Rutger's called topaz by ihnp4!topaz!..., would I just address the mail ihnp4!vax!... or ihnp4!blue!... (or if I have to, ihnp4!topaz!blue!...)??? I've seen those strange ARPA addresses at the end of postings, but never tried to use one. Any ideas?
