- An additional point of clarification - The X file was created by the
- host that sent it to you. In your case, PSI has recognized that in
- many parts of the world "graue@sfpp.com" would be user "graue" on
- your gateway machine. They never sent you the "sfpp.com" part of
- the address for that reason. You night be able to ask them to.

- That's probably the easiest solution. Make sure that that line is the
- last [INBOUND-TO] rule in the file. (Since it matches all patterns
- it would strand any [INBOUND-TO] rules that follow it.)
-
- Another approach which is somewhat labor intensive is to set forwarding
- entires for the affected users. From a privileged account go into VMS
- Mail and do
-
- set forward/user=graue spvx01::graue
-
- You can do this regardless of whether or not graue has an account on the
- local machine. You would have to do this for every user that needs
- their mail forwarded from the gateway machine. It might be easier to
- forward everything via the rewrite rules and send the exceptions back via
- VMS Mail forward entries :-)
-
- Tip of the day: VMS Mail forwarding entries can be 31 characters long.
- For example, I could do
-
- set forward/user=ThomasMAllebrandi Allebrandi
-
- to give a "full name" alias for myself.
