- We encountered the same problem. After some troubleshooting we found, that
- UCX SMTP uses in the RECEIPT field only the form username@host without
- the supplying the hostname with the domain.
- e.g.: if you send email to xyz@foo.bar.none UCX SMTP transforms it
- to xyz@foo
-
- We found that most mailers on UNIX-host does accept this, but VMS systems
- running MX-Software don't.
