2474.4OA$MTI_AREAICS::BONVALLATMon Jan 27 1997 20:514
    The OA$MTI_AREA logical is defined systemwide as 
    "A1 at NEMAIL at NQO".   That seems to be the same format
    as on the other CCS managed clusters.

2474.6Can CCS look at the gateway logs?ZUR01::ASHGGrahame Ash @RLETue Jan 28 1997 11:369
(Our system uses the AT format, and my return address includes the area term)

Isn't this something CCS should be fixing? (You didn't say if you were in 
CCS!). It would be handy if someone with access to the Gateway could see the 
addresses as they are translated there.

It certainly doesn't seem to be anything to do with ALL-IN-1.

2474.7CCS can change the logical if it is a solutionSHRMSG::HOWARDBenMon Feb 03 1997 21:3116
    Does AT still work or not?  I think whatever value is in the logical
    will be in the return address, but will it get back to the user? 
    
    I don't think CCS is paying much attention to VMS these days since it
    is "going away".  Although we did turn on SMTP a few months ago.  You
    should log a call if you somebody can verify that it is a problem.  I
    guess we could try to get MTS support to send something out requesting
    that this be changed, but people have a way of ignoring their memos.

    Anybody can look at the entries in MR if they know how.  Not sure if
    that's what you mean, Grahame.  The logs are a different story.

2474.8I wonder if the Originator has reported it?ZUR01::ASHGGrahame Ash @RLETue Feb 04 1997 11:2914
Hi Ben,

What I was trying to say was:

 - if " AT " didn't work, I don't believe MTS-only mail would function. So I 
don't think it's important

 - the problem would be easier to identify if we could see exactly how the 
gateway mapped the names. I imagine a logfile will be created which shows 
this, and I also imagine that only CCS has access to these files.

All pure guesswork, as always!

2474.9MAIL2::KMAHERUn clavo saca otro clavoFri Feb 14 1997 15:2914
    I believe that PMDF by innosoft is the gateway in use.  PMDF routes
    incomming mail by applying rules to the domain name of the address.  It
    also includes a facility for foward and reverse mapping of usernames. 
    For example it equates
    
    real address 				alias
    
    [email protected]    [email protected]
    
    The address "reverse alias" is substituted for the "real address" as the
    message passes through the gateway.  My guess would be that this user's
    name is not in the reverse mapping database.  This is possible if he
    has a relatively common name. eg: john.smith, and the database is
    configured to reject duplicates.
