This does it .. time for me to begin Commonly Asked Mail Questions: In article <3136@ihuxv.ATT.COM> johnnyr@ihuxv.ATT.COM (John R. Rosenberg) writes: >I need to send mail to a machine on bitnet >from my machine (which is UUCP). A: You route the mail through a UUCP-BITNET gateway. The best known such gateway is psuvax1.{uucp,bitnet,psu.edu}. You do this like: path!path!psuvax1!host.bitnet!user Where "path!path" is the path from your site to psuvax1. There are other gateways listed in the file d.Top which is posted occasionally in comp.mail.maps. If you use pathalias to generate a routing database for you, and have your mailer consult this database when sending out mail, then all you should have to do is use "host.bitnet!user" or "user@host.bitnet". Sorry John. But I've been meaning to start this file anyway and your question prompted me to do it. -- <-- David Herron; an MMDF guy <-- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <-- Now I know how Zonker felt when he graduated ... <-- Stop!
