The address I have is: soandso@soma.bitnet I've tried using addrmap but it doesn't help (in fact, I've tried addrmap on some of the examples in the man page and they don't seem to provide the same answer anymore.) I'll forward answers to bovik.

I'm not sure if that is really what you are supposed to dom but it has worked for me every time (so far). - Phoebe Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1991 12:01-EDT From: Gregg.Yost@CENTRO.SOAR.CS.CMU.EDU To: Jennifer Kay Subject: Re: email help Try soandso@soma.bitnet@BITNET.CC.CMU.EDU Addrmap gave me an address of that form for soandso@iassns.bitnet, I don't know what is different about soma. --Gregg
