- I defined this logical on our cluster, but it did not do the trick. Mail
- with the SMTP% prefix is forwarded to VAX01, but it looks like it does not
- get handled by SMTP once it arrives there. Here is what happens when I
- reply or send from any node on the cluster (including the one running Multinet!):
-
- MAIL> r
- To: SMTP%"user@unix.machine"
- %MAIL-E-USERSPEC, invalid user specification '@UNIX.MACHINE'
-
- What does this logical actually do?
