5454.0. "UCX 4.1 has broken interpretation of foreign protocol" by TINCUP::JONES () Fri Apr 18 1997 15:35

    This worked in UCX 4.0 and earlier versions. Now I am running the
    following version:
    
      Digital TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V4.1
      on a DEC 3000 - M700 running OpenVMS V6.1
    
    If I send mail to SMTP%"[email protected]", and usera has their
    address forwarded to a foreign mail transport (such as NM%sysmgr,
    etc.), UCX SMTP reports back an error attempting to locate node
    SYSMGR.domain.com. 
    
    The part after the "%" is being interpretted now as a nodename. The
    protocol is supposed to pass that onto the foreign mail transport/image
    for use by that image. 
    
    Instead now, SMTP is doing funky things and has completely broken it.
    
    In my particular case, I have written and been using since V5.5 of
    OpenVMS a foreign mail transport that has worked up to now with all
    versions of UCX.
    
    Help!

    Fixed in ECO 3:
    
    Problem:
    
    Inbound mail from SMTP being delivered to users with
    their mail forwarded to another foreign transport
    (Eg. xyz%) would get bounced.
    
    Solution:
    
    Fixed.
