Thanks Dan and Ned for your lightening fast answer to my question of sending
bitnet mail from a internet-only machine.
I run PMDF on a two-node VAXcluster. Each node has a valid internet host
name. PMDF images are loaded on both nodes but there is only one cluster-
wide MAIL$BATCH queue. I want different local host appear on the return
address when people send mail from different node. So I create a PMDF.CNF
for each node with the host name for l channel pointing to each node. This
works fine when I send mail from the node on which the MAIL$BATCH is running.
But when I send mail from the other node, the local host name apprears twice
in the return address, like
    From: user@localhost@localhost
Any idea how this happen? Or is there other better way to do this? Thanks.
