Since many of these gateways follow the "trusted mailer" convention, it is necessary for postmasters to register any transfer agents that send mail to these gateways on behalf of users (that is, agents that create outgoing mail whose RSCS/NJE origin differs from that of the sender). Such registration must be made in the network NAMES/NODES files under the ":mailer" tag. Domain: The upper level recognized name by the Columbia University VM mail system. Name: The descriptive name of this network Gateway: Where the mail is sent to in BITNET. Unless otherwise specified, the gateway expects to receive a BSMTP (Batch Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) envelope. Users in general do not need to worry about the contents of this field. This is not a mailbox for general questions but rather the server machine (daemon) that acts as the transporter of mail from one network to another. Software postmasters are expected to configure their system so that their system sends to the nearest Gateway and not to the default gateway. Translated to: Upon occasion, certain addresses will be translated internally to point to an indirect gateway. In such a case, the complete address is specified. Gatemaster: The network address of the person(s) responsible for this gateway. Please send corrections or comments to the address listed above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domain: ARPA Name: Advanced Research Projects Agency - US DOD Gateway: SMTP@INTERBIT Gatemaster: SMPCU@CUNYVM Domain: AT Name: University Network of Austria Gateway: MAILER@AWIUNI11 Gatemaster: Z00EHR01@AWIUNI11 Domain: BE Name: Belgian Research Network Gateway: MAILER@BEARN Gatemaster: FNTA80@BUCLLN11 Domain: CA Name: Canadian mail domain Gateway: MAILER@UTORGPU Gatemaster: TED@UTORONTO, MOLNAR@UTORGPU Domain: CDN Name: Canadian University X.400 Research Network Gateway: MAILER@UWOCC1 Gatemaster: A362@UWOCC1, Hilpert@Ean.Ubc.CDN, Demco@Ean.Ubc.CDN Comments: The gateway at CERNVAX is no longer supported due to the high cost of X.25 transfer over public data networks Domain: CERN Name: Center for Nuclear Research Network Gateways: 1) MAILER@UWOCC1 2) MAILER@CERNVAX Gatemaster: 1) A362@UWOCC1 2) postmaster@CERNVAX Domain: CH Name: Swiss University Mail Network(s) Gateway: MAILER@CEARN Gatemaster: postmaster@CERNVAX, eppen@betrieb.switch.ch Domain: CHUNET Name: Swiss University pilot X.400 Network Gateway: MAILER@CERNVAX Gatemaster: postmaster@CERNVAX, lubich@ifi.ethz.ch Domain: CRD.GE.COM Name: General Electric Corporate Research & Development Gateway: MAILER@GECRDVM1 Gatemaster: HATHAWA@GECRDVM1 Domain: HAC.COM Name: Hughes Aircraft Co.

Domain: WUSTL Name: Washington University local area Network Gateway: GATEWAY@WUNET Gatemaster: SORSEN@WUVMD ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BITNET/Internet Regional Gateways Below is a list of those sites that will handle regional traffic between BITNET and the Internet: SMTP@CUNYVM SMT@CORNELLC MAILER@MITVMA MAILER@ICNUCEVM - available only for Italian nodes You should *ALWAYS* use the generic address of SMTP@INTERBIT and never any of the addresses mentioned above. The addresses stated above are for informational and debugging purposes ONLY. Failure to abide by this rule will cause the owners of the gateway to close their service to all BITNET and EARN users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domains that are unreachable directly but that the INTERNET exit of Mailer knows how to translate: Domain: DEC Name: Digital Equipment Internal Network (Easynet) Gateway: SMTP@INTERBIT Sample: user@domain.DEC Translated to: user%node.DEC@DECWRL.DEC.COM Gatemaster: Covert%Covert.DEC@Decwrl.DEC.COM, Kiefer@Decwrl.DEC.COM Domain: OZ (soon to become OZ.AU) Name: Australian University Network Gateway: SMTP@INTERBIT Sample: user@node.OZ Translated to: user%node.OZ@UUNET.UU.NET Gatemaster: Postmaster@Munnari.OZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domains that are unreachable directly but that are accessible by specifying the address explicitly: Name: Xerox Internal Use Only Network (Grapevine) Sample: user.Registry@Xerox.Com Gatemaster: Postmaster@Xerox.Com Name: IBM Internal Use Only Network (VNET) Sample: user@Vnet Gatemaster: RLRCU@CUNYVM Comments: 1) Mail must be sent directly to user and not via a 3rd party mailer (i.e. VM Mailer server) 2) User within Vnet must first receive approval within IBM to establish a circuit and then initiate a virtual circuit. A user within BITNET may not establish communications with a VNET user, without the above requirement. 3) This gateway is only open to selected nodes within IBM which have ties with academia (i.e. ACIS).
