1935.0. "Internet addressing help really needed" by RT93::BYRNE (The Red Menace) Wed Dec 09 1992 18:19

My customer is a heavy internet user.  They also use UCX/SMTP.

All the users have their internet address on their business cards and the 
customer does not want their internet addresses to change in any way.  

    They want outside users to address mail DIRECTLY to ALL-IN-1 users via
    internet. The following string can be used successfully:

	[email protected]

In my case, my customer is University of Massachusetts at Lowell, so a typical
address would be:

       [email protected]

I am **NOT** an internet expert, I am simply an internet user.  I would like
to be able to somehow translate incoming internet addresses so that when
internet sees 
		[email protected]  

it will translate to

	      [email protected]

Is this possible in internet?  The internet administrator at the university
says no, but I think he may just be overworked and doesn't have time to figure
out how to do this.

If someone knows how to do it, could you enter the directions here?  I will 
then relay them to the internet administrator.
                      
If we can't do this, then this limitation may kill this project.  Any help
is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

1935.2Try UPSAR::GATEWAYS ??IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeThu Dec 10 1992 08:456
    You might also want to look/ask in the Gateways conference, which was
    at UPSAR::GATEWAYS last time I used it. Press KP7 etc.
    
    Note 1268.9 may be of interest.

    Or try the UCX conference, SMURF::CONNECTION.
1935.4Edit Sendmail Configuration FileWNPVM2::FALCOThink globally, Act locallyMon Dec 14 1992 21:4317
Eileen,

Unix Sendmail has a configuration file which holds a
set of rules regarding addressing etc.  It should be 
possible to edit the sendmail config file to do,
in essence, what Message Router does with the /REPLACE
capability.


Also, you mentioned use of Ultrix Connection (UCX), but
I was told two months ago while researching internet to
ALL-IN-1 mail problems for NIH, that you have to have
Ultrix Mail Connection.  (SMTP does something funny
to ALL-IN-1 mail headers).

Feel free to give a call.  I am no expert, but together
maybe we can find one!
