Wrong conference -- use LASSIE::UCX.
Upgrade your UCX to a recent/current revision with recent/current ECO,
and set up the external default and alternate gateway, zone, and
substitute domain information -- this information is all visible via
UCX> SHO CONF SMTP/FULL.

| No, the real culprit here is NMAIL which isn't properly parsing the reply
addresses. A while back, when this first started irritating me, I began to
code the mods to NMAIL to fix this but never got very far. I don't have the
cycles available now.
If you don't use NMAIL, you won't see this problem.

| Yes - but NMAIL is freeware and not part of VMS. I simply wanted to point out
that the problem is in NMAIL and not in VMS, though a change in VMS 7.1
broke an assumption NMAIL made about quotes in addresses.

| One's view of things like this tends to be contingent on one's position
in the value chain.
Taking a customer point of view, VMS 7.1 "upgrade" broke my system. It
worked before the upgrade, it doesn't work afterward. I don't care
about which digital stovepipe organization is to blame, I just want my
system to work better after the "upgrade" than before, which is not
what has happened so far.
From an engineering point of view, some no-longer-employed engineer
made a bad guess about an undocumented interface when writing a piece
of unsupported software. Not our problem, no matter how many customers
use it every day. I have probably said similar things myself.
Where you stand depends on where you sit.
P.S. The seats labeled "customer" are the ones with the money.

Good. Then take some of that money and use it to pay someone to pull the
NMAIL sources off of the Freeware CD, fix the code, and submit the changes for
the next CD. Or do it yourself.
