159.0. "Path to Skandia International, Stockholm" by EICMFG::MYLAM () Thu Dec 17 1992 14:55

Hi,

Can anyone tell me whether Skandia International (Sveav�gen, Stockholm) is a MEMO user,
or how I can find this out?

My very non-technical contact at Skandia tells me that his mail address is si.uld 
(looks right), and that Skandia is on an IBM mail network called "Memonet".  He also
tells me that it is possible for him to send mails directly to IBM in Stockholm.

Thanks very much for your help,

Ian

159.1SIL, try X.400 or PSI-mail (find out full SIL address)STKOFF::SPERSSONPas de problemeThu Dec 17 1992 17:1621
    
    Hi Ian,
    
    Yes, this does look like a MEMO address.  It's very likely that Skandia
    are connected to Scandinavian Info Link (SIL), which is a large mail
    network based on MEMO. Most large corporations in Sweden are connected
    to SIL. SIL have recently created an X.400 ADMD, so the best bet to
    reach him is to check whether your ADMD can reach SIL.
    
    We speak to SIL via Ericsson and PSI-mail:
    
    PSI%<psi-template>.24037132006133::MRGATE::"MEMO::<SIL-address>"
    
    Please observe that "SI.ULD" is not sufficient for a full SIL address
    specification. There should be another element specifying the company
    name, eg "SKANDIA.SI.ULD"
    
    
    cheers,

Hi Stefan,


Thanks very much for the incredibly fast and helpful reply!

I have been trying to get a mail through to this address for about 3 months.  After 
reading your reply this morning, I got a message through within 10 minutes!

Only one problem - my contact can't reply!

I'm sending to: 

PSI%024037132006133::MRGATE::"MEMO::SKANDIA.SI.ULD"

My mail arrives at Skandia giving the sending address as follows:

"ERI.VAX.HOLZER..PSI%ERI.2624589005313..MRGATE.EDS" (I am using a colleagues account)

When my contact attempts to reply using the MEMO "reply" facility (or however it's 
called in MEMO) nothing comes through.

Do you have any ideas?  Is it possible that the address field may not be large enough 
to take my address?

Cheers,

Ian
159.3MEMO address length limit - configurableSTKOFF::SPERSSONPas de problemeFri Dec 18 1992 14:2516
    
    Hi,

    Yes, possible and probable. If Skandia's MEMO system is sufficiently
    up-to-date (don't know exact version, but my guess is they'll have it)
    the MEMO system manager should be able to modify the address length
    limit. Whether he wants to do it is an entirely different matter.
    
    cheers,
