- We're using Charon 4.0 and Pegasus v2.3 in our network for email to and from
- our Novell-based users, and the trick is this:
-
- Charon expects to be handling email for MULTIPLE servers (even if you only
- have one server), so it expects to see addresses of the form "user@servername"
- in the SMTP dialog. So in your case, the mailer should resolv deliveries to
- site "wtad" by connecting with "cms" and using "user@wtad" as the recipient
- address.
-
- Note also that charon does NOT accept bang-format or mixed-mode addressing. For
- more information, check the Charon SMTP debug window on the console of cms.
