14 Addressing Mail to SMTP Hosts
The SMTP Gateway
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) gateway allows you to send and receive mail through
an HP NonStop TRANSFER mail service (such as M6530 or PSMAIL) to and from users whose mail
service is provided by an SMTP host on the internet. The SMTP gateway also acts as an intermediate
node in relaying SMTP messages between SMTP hosts.
To use the SMTP gateway, you start your mail service in the usual way. If you have received any
messages from an SMTP host, the messages will be in your inbox folder. To send a message, you
use the same mail commands as usual, but you must address the message as described in this
section.
See your mail service manual for specific instructions on sending and reading messages.
The SMTP Correspondent
The SMTP correspondent is a TRANSFER/MAIL collection and forwarding point to which you
address all mail sent through the gateway. The SMTP correspondent is specified in the configuration
file. Ask your system manager for the correspondent name on your system. See the TCP/IP
Configuration and Management Manual for more information.
The examples in this manual address mail to an SMTP correspondent named SMTPGATE.
Addressing Mail
You can address a message to an SMTP host using one or the other of the following forms:
{ SMTP-correspondent [@SMTP-host] ( recipient-address ) }
{ }
{ user @host.domain }
recipient-address is:
{ internet-address }
{ usenet-path }
internet-address is:
user @host.domain
usenet-path is:
[ host![host!]...]host!use
SMTP-correspondent
is the SMTP gateway correspondent name through which you are sending the mail. SMTP
gateway correspondent names are defined when an SMTP gateway is configured on a system.
