Here are some steps to look into: 1) Check the ALIASES. file to see that it has a line: smtpuser: smtpuser@bitnet-gateway 2) (The most likely problem) Check that the userid SMTPUSER has it's mail correctly forwarded. Turn SYSNAM on, go into MAIL and then, at the MAIL> prompt, type: show forward /user=smptuser If it doesn't respond with: SMTPUSER has mail forwarded to IN%"SMTPUSER@your-node" Then issue the command: set forward /user=smtpuser in%"""smtpuser@your-node""" Jim...
