- Well, using MX% as the transport, if I send to 'jasper' (no quotes) then it
- routes through MX and returns to me with a fully addressed MX%"...." message;
- if I send to "jasper" with quotes it returns to the mail prompt without
- sending anything, if I send to jrees@vax.ox.ac.uk it gives the 'invalid user
- spec' error, if I send to "jrees@vax.ox.ac.uk" it returns to a mail prompt.
-
- I guess one reason it's undocumented is that it doesn't work right now :(
- At least for VMS 5.4-3, MX 3.1C.
-
- Or is there something else that we are doing wrong?
