Failing that, did you copy over DOMAIN.DAT from your old PMDF_ROOT:[TABLE] to the new one? The fact that outgoing mail to adjacent BITNET nodes (which are specified in PMDF.CNF) works means that there's no problem with the PMDF-JNET interface. This is configuration problem. You also said you copied JAN_SYS:LMD.COM to PMDF_ROOT:[EXE]. That's backwards; you copy the file in the other direction and restart the JNET server for your local system (so BN_SLAVE gets run). You probably just said it backwards, but it was worth mentioning... Hope this helps. Ned
