- On a similar note, what can be done about a VMS user sending email to a series
- of users, both on her node and off (i.e., using the Ultrix system that
- forwards mail)? If she sends "CC"s to users on her local VMS node and someone
- on an offsite Unix systems types "R" within mail to send to all recipients
- (both the original sender and all "CC"s), the address for the "CC"ed folks
- will be "VMS-user@Ultrix-forwarder.site.domain". This is not good, since
- the VMS users may not have accounts on the Ultrix forwarder node.
-
- I assume that, if possible, this can be fixed in the mail-11 ruleset; has
- anyone done this, before I get mired in sendmail doc?
-
- Email, if possible - I will summarize.

- Thanks,
