4821.7Trying to FORWARD to DELIVER protocolSTAR::BLAKEOpenVMS EngineeringThu Mar 06 1997 07:3729
    I have a similar problem. I have an account, call it FOO, that uses DELIVER
    to process its incoming mail. So I have to have a forward on the
    account as follows:
    
    MAIL> sho forw /user=foo
    FOO has mail forwarded to DELIVER%FOO
    
    This has worked for years with VMSmail coming in over DECnet. But if I
    try to send mail to FOO via SMTP, it fails. Here's the non-delivery that
    comes back:
    
    ---- Transcript of session follows ----
    
    %UCX-E-SMTP_SNDERROR, Error detected while sending mail to DELIVER%FOO
    -MAIL-E-NOSUCHUSR, no such user !AS
    
    ---- Recipients of this delivery ----
    
    <[email protected]>(sent)
    
    DELIVER%FOO (bounced)
    
    This seems to be the same problem as was discussed in this note. But in
    my case I can't use the logical to fix the problem as DELIVER% is NOT a
    synonym for SMTP%.
    
    How can I get SMTP to invoke an alternate protocol?
    
    Colin.
4821.8Fixed UCXAXP::ZIELONKOFri Mar 07 1997 06:368
Colin,

In your case you're trying t forward to a non-SMTP foreign transport. The .0
function was a lack of a feature (which we aded with the foriegn transport
synonyms logical). Your probelm here is a bug. It's fixed in ECO 3 for V4.1.
SinceECO 4 is the current shipping ECO you should grab that one.
