My channel defs are: bit_cornellc smtp daemon mal user mailer nolocaluser CORNELLC.BITNET TOE.TOWSON.EDU bit_ukcc smtp daemon mailer user mailer nolocaluser UKCC.BITNET TOE.TOWSON.EDU However, when mail is sent to these gateways, the following gets bounced back to mailer@towsonvx (which in turn goes to postmaster): 220 CORNELLC Columbia MAILER R2.05X BSMTP service ready. 050 HELO TOE.TOWSON.EDU 250 CORNELLC Hello TOE.TOWSON.EDU 050 TICK 0001 250 0001 ... that's the ticket. 050 MAIL FROM: 501- does not correspond to RSCS origin of TOWSONVX MAIL 501 ER (rest deleted) 220 ukcc.uky.edu Columbia MAILER R2.03 BSMTP service ready. 050 HELO TOE.TOWSON.EDU 250 ukcc.uky.edu Hello TOE.TOWSON.EDU 050 TICK 0001 250 0001 ... that's the ticket. 050 MAIL FROM: 501- does not correspond to RSCS origin of TOWSONVX MAIL 501 ER (rest deleted) - note: toe.towson.edu and towsonvx.bitnet are the same system The Kentucky gateway I have had defined like this for quite some time and it has been working fine. The Cornell gateway has been acting up only recently (since I upgraded to PMDF V3.1-10). I then added the "nolocaluser" keyword but that didn't seem to make any difference. I have one other channel with the "nolocaluser" keryword (bit_rice) but I haven't heard of any problems with that one. But then again, no one has used it since the upgrade. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong? System info: VMS V5.2, PMDF V3.1-10, and Jnet NJE V3.4. Thanks in advance. Dan Daniel A.
