This is a repost of something I tried to post a couple of weeks ago, but
for some reason it didn't work...



I've been have problems sending mail outside my node (clutx.clarkson.edu).
Whenever I send mail to a address containing %'s !'s .'s and @'s  it
gets returned to me with either 'Unknown host' or 'Unknown user'

This is especially annoying since I have a friend at DEC whom I'd like
to send mail to  (ie.  <userid>%ravine.zk3.dec.com@decvax.dec.com )

I've tried different variations of this, including using decwrl instead of
decvax.  Am I doing something wrong??
