I am attempting to use the freeware version of Netmail/3000, with a view to
'mail-enabling' some of our 3000-based systems, but I am running into problems
as
described below - help would be much appreciated.
 
We intend to use a 'trusted gateway', since our organisation already has
(internet)
email up and running.
 
Netmail is submitting messages OK to our trusted gateway, but they are being
bounced
back with errors such as the following:
 
   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
While talking to mailgate1.uea.ac.uk:
>>> RCPT To:<<@139.222.130.1:[log in to unmask]>><<< 550 Unknown domain
'139.222.130.1'
550 <<@139.222.130.1:[log in to unmask]>>... User unknown
 
 
As you can see, the address [log in to unmask] has been preceeded by the
string
[log in to unmask]:'  That IP address is that of an smpt server machine close to
the
actual mailgate that we are specifying (The IP address of the mailgate is
139.222.230.1).
 
I have tried many different combinations of different mailgates and DNS servers
within
the university, but get similar (though not identical) results each time.  The
'To'
address is always preceeded by an '@' followed by IP address and a colon, and
the
mailgate, which expects just an email address (e.g. [log in to unmask]) and
rejects
it.
 
 
(The mailgate is a Sun Sparc 1000e running Solaris 2.4, with the mail software
being
pp from Nexor.)
 
Have other people experienced this problem - is there a known solution?
