- I need help in solving a mailing problem. We have an IBM bringing in BITnet.
- Our VAXCluster accepts IBM's BITnet with Jnet. The VAXCluster also runs
- Multinet. We have Novell networks running CC:Mail. CC:Mail's product,
- SMTPLINK, is running on a Sun to link VMSMail and CC:Mail. (I liken this to
- a triangle with one side open - Novell to IBM) MX has been installed recently
- to smoothly link forwarded accounts. At that time Multinet's SMTP server was
- disabled.
-
- The problem: FROM: headers are being stripped on forwarded accounts only if
- the account names involved in the forwarding are the same. (i.e. VAX account,
- Dillon, is set to forward to CC:Mail account, Dillon. Someone, lets say Bush,
- sends mail to VAX account Dillon, CC:Mail account Dillon sees it as coming
- from VAX-Dillon, not Bush)
- What works is VAX-dummy set to forward to CC:Mail-Dillon, Bush sends same
- message in the same way. CC:Mail-Dillon sees it as from Bush and sees
- VAX-Dillon was involved too.
-
- Any clues? What's wrong with this setup? Who's stripping and why?
