- That's not an internet address - what you want is a XEROX
- gateway. You would send your mail to that gateway in the form:
-
- "USER:sydney:rxaus"@gateway.domain
-
- So that the XEROX address would remain uninterpreted until it
- reached the destination machine, which would know how to interpret it.
- UUCP addresses are often done in the same form to reach remote machines.
-
- Where's the gateway? I would suggest looking for a machine (or
- domain) xerox.com and then sending a polite letter to postmaster@machine
- for help.
-
- Unless, of course, someone else replies with a more informative
- response . . .
