- Below is an error I got replying to a message I received. I realize why I got
- the error. In PMDF on our vax (DUKEMC) I have put in an alias for dryfo001 and
- pointed it to dryfo001@deneb.mc.duke.edu (my workstation).
-
- This has worked fine for some time. However, just found a case where it does
- not. Someone sent me mail from a Bitnet node (DUKEMVS) to dryfo001@dukemc. My
- alias forward sent it to me at deneb.mc.duke.edu, but the return address was
- setup so that it would only work we replying through the PMDF system (which it
- was not) -- i.e. user@node.bitnet. Normal SMTP internet mail works fine as my
- reply goes directly to the sender and not through PMDF. I suspect I need a
- rewrite rule or something to prevent this? Am I doing something I am not
- supposed to? On systems connected to the PMDF system, I want replies to go
- through our Bitnet connection, but for cirumstances such as this, we need to go
- through an SMTP/Bitnet gateway or back through the PMDF system?
-
- Thanks in advance,
