- It's an "OH" - what you have here (looks like) an X.400 address passed through an
- SMTP mailer via a UUCP connection. Yucckk! The "S" is the "SYSTEM" field, and the
- "O" is the "ORGANIZATION" field of the X.400 address spec.

-
- You don't say what OS/mailer combination you are using. The (supposed - I've
- never sent to anyone on this net) general way to mail from Internet to ATTMail is
- to send to user@attmail.com. I'd try that, using whatever syntax your mailer
- needs to get to attmail.
