2542.0. "SYSTEM NICKNAMES.....ouch!" by RESTRT::LATIMER (Eastern States Product Support) Wed Apr 07 1993 21:52

Disclaimer !!!

I know this note belongs in the REUSE conference, but unfortunately, no one
ever seems to read that conference and so I am going to risk the wrath
of many (lucky Don is gone) by putting this here.   8^)

So...attention all OLD OLD OLD timers....I have a customer with the System
Nicknames Assets package (I can hear the groans).  The package works fine
when sending mail to users on the local node.  However, when specifying
a remote user, e.g., user @loc, the customer gets a message about
"not being able to find NICKNAMES.COM".  

I am getting this information second-hand from a manager, but was hoping 
someone might know if this sounds like the file is gone from the system or
could this be another problem....?

This is all of the information I have at this time.

Thanks for any and all ideas,

Nancy

    nancy,
    
    I believe i'm supposed to respond with something like "this is a
    revenue opportunity please contact the CSC..." ok so i've done that bit
    
    Is this a case of the user on the remote system having an MAIDES
    of NICKNAMES?
    
    I guess before guessing anymore i'd have to see a real example address
    and the non-delivery.
    
    regards,
