- Greetings!
-
- I am experiencing great difficulty in establishing e-mail communications with
- a friend. My friend's employer uses MCIMail and my Internet gateway is
- through ATTMail.
-
- My Internet address is "alanb@quality1.attmail.com" and my friend's Internet
- address is in the form of "company/machine/logon%1234567@mcimail.com".
-
- When my friend attempts to send me e-mail, he gets a bounce stating something
- to the effect of "MCImail does not permit communications to ATTmail via the
- Internet."
-
- When I try sending e-mail, the problems are even worse. My machine doesn't
- support TCP-IP, so I've got to use a UUCP equivalent of his address. If I use
- the full pathname (company/machine/logon), the mail is bounced by the attmail
- machine. If I omit the pathname and just use the logon, I get the following
- bounce from mmdf@MCIMail.com:
-
- The MCI Mial/INTERNET gateway System
- encountered the following violations:
-
- Delivery to MCI Mail from attmail.com
- via the Internet is not permitted.
-
- I tried calling MCIMail for help. They told me that we had to use an X.400
- gateway in order to communicate via e-mail. They gave me the following
- information to use:
-
- c=us
- a=mci
- dda=ems=1234567
- dda=mbx=company/machine/logon
-
- But, they wouldn't tell me where to find or how to use an X.400 gateway. So,
- we've hit a dead end.
-
- Can anyone help me put together the missing pieces? Any help would be greatly
- appreciated! Please e-mail all responses to "alanb@quality1.attmail.com" (I
- don't have access to Usenet, so please use e-mail).
-
- Thank you very much,
-
-
- Alan
-
- p.s. - "1234567" is not the real MCIMail address--it just represents a 7-digit
- MCIMail address.
