188.0. "SN and PR attributes coexist?" by NEWOA::DICKSON_B () Wed Sep 29 1993 19:28

     
    
    I'm in the process of migrating a SNADs gateway to a MRMEMO gateway and
    will need to maintain the snads gateway for a few months while the memo
    gateway is tested.
    
    If I use the mrmman option /define memo_address=pr_attributes and add
    pr_username and pr_location entries for the subscribers new memo address
    the subscribers will now have both SN attributes defined and now PR
    attributes defined. One for they're old mail system and one for they're
    new memo system.
    
    The question is - when addressing the mail how do you direct it to the
    required mail system?
    
    Have I misunderstood? Can you have both these attributes types defined
    for a single subscriber?
    
    Thanks,

    Hi Bill,

    The mail address of any DDS subscriber is specified in the MHSaddress
    element (corresponding to the Reverse lookup)
    
    The reverse lookup of a MEMO subscriber is typically
    
    <dgn>.<den>@MEMO@<node>

    Yes. The whole point of the PR_ATTRIBUTES qualifier value is so that you
    can use the various DDS lookup options in MRMEMO and still coexist with
    either MR/S or MR/P. You can go on using the SNADS attributes for other
    things for ever if you like, it doesn't really matter.
    
    Oh, and make sure you're using Address Translation, not DDS validation.
    
    cheers,
