...means that the person on ERLANG:: has forwarded their mail to a
system that ERLANG does not know about. Decnet mail is not store-and-
forward, so decwrl (as smtp-to-decnet gateway) sees the end-system
error. Trying to be helpful, it sends it back to you.
My advice is to delete any addresses you have trouble with, if they are
in the .enet.dec.com subdomain.

Hi Doug,
If the Postmaster is "unknown" please delete him from your exploder
list "ietf@osi3.ncsl.nist.gov". I have been receiving error messages
like this one for several days now. If I don't hear from you, I will
have to delete the above mailbox.

f. Message From Coordinator
Date: Thu, 8 Nov 90 15:34:02 EST
From: Doug Montgomery <dougm@warthog.ncsl.nist.gov>
Organization: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Sub-Organization: National Computer Systems Laboratory
To: westine@ISI.EDU
Subject: RE: 421 osi3: Host osi3 is down
550 Postmaster... User unknown
Cc: staff@osi3.ncsl.nist.gov
I think I have found out what is wrong. For some reason (we can
discuss this below) your exploder is sending IETF mail to our
exploder (ietf@osi3.ncsl.nist.gov) through the machine
osi.ncsl.nist.gov. Now due to a recent subnet reconfiguration and
subsequent lack of update to our DNS servers, the DNS was returning
an incorrect address for osi3. Thus IETF mail would be sent to OSI,
which would try to forward it to OSI3 (using the wrong address).
OSI would think that OSI3 was down and dump the message, trying to
send a notice to Postmaster. OSI doesn't have an aliase for
Postmaster and thus the second error message that you saw.
These two problems have been fixed on OSI. Now the question is what
address you have in your distribution list that would cause this
mail to go through OSI in the first place. I guess you might have
something like "ietf%osi3@osi.ncsl.nist.gov." The other interesting
point about your list is that we receive IETF mail to our exploder
directly from venera.
Thus I suspect that there are two entries for OSI3 on your
distribution list. One that gets relayed through OSI and one that
points directly to OSI3. If this is the case please deleted
everything except the "ietf@osi3.ncsl.nist.gov." address.
If this is not the case or if there are other problems let me know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
g. My Reply Back
Here are all the addresses I have on the IETF list under NIST.GOV.
ietf@OSI3.NCSL.NIST.GOV,
mills@OSI.NCSL.NIST.GOV
I'll deleted "mills@osi.ncsl.nist.gov".
Here are two others at NIST
hunt@ENH.NIST.GOV,
sting@CAM.NIST.GOV
By the way, on the following message, it looks like the Mailer-Daemon
message went from OSI.ncsl.nist.gov to enh.nist.gov to venera.isi.edu.

h. Another Problem .Forward
From: Doug Montgomery <dougm@warthog.ncsl.nist.gov>
Organization: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
To: westine@ISI.EDU
Subject: Re: 421 osi3:Host osi3 is down 550 Postmaster.. User unknown
Deleting the mills@osi.ncsl.nist.gov entry should fix your problems.
Mills has a .forward to osi3, thus explaining why IETF mail was going
---> OSI ---> OSI3.
I checked OSI's sendmail.cf and it is relaying through enh. This,
though has nothing to do with the previous problem.
I flushed the queue of IETF mail on OSI waiting to go to OSI3. I
don't think you should see anymore bounced messages.
Sorry that our local problems were causing you grief .... let me know
if it happens again.

Fifth time now(?) I try this every couple of months now,
figuring you may be hoplesslly backed up.
Can you remove me from the ietf list? I may be there as
either:
fischer@math.ufl.edu
or
netadm@math.ufl.edu
I would appreciate a confirmation message: I'm ready to use
crontab for these mailings.
Many Thanks,
Randy Fischer

Hi Randy,
I remember your request, and I also remember telling you that you are
not on our list (at least individually). There is an exploder
"netadm@MATH.UFL.EDU" maintained at UFL.EDU. You need to check with
the postmaster to see if you are on their list. If this is not the
case, here are the only other addresses I have from UFL.EDU
ceben@NERVM.NERDC.UFL.EDU,
esj@UFL.EDU,
FCLA@NERVM.NERDC.UFL.EDU,
netadm@MATH.UFL.EDU,
POKE@NERVM.NERDC.UFL.EDU,
There is another possibility, perhaps you have a pointer to a mailbox
somewhere else?
Regards,
Ann

Subject: re: done at last: please release me, let me go...
Many, many thanks for the reply: I did not, somehow, see your
previous reply -- perhaps you forwarded it to someone at UFL.EDU
instead of MATH.UFL.EDU? Or I missed it in the flow of mail I am
trying to abate.
No matter.
At any rate "netadm@math.ufl.edu" is indeed a local exploder, aliased
at the moment to myself and one of my assistants. It is local to the
"math.ufl.edu" subdomain, and not to "ufl.edu" as your records
indicate. I am the postmaster of the "math.ufl.edu", and you should
be able to verify "math.ufl.edu" has an MX record pointing to
"mathlab.math.ufl.edu". I am therefore mailing to you as root from
that machine.
Please remove "netadm@math.ufl.edu" from your list. I have quite
enjoyed the discussions, but the volume been overwhelming.
Thanks very much for your prompt reply,
Appreciatively,
-Randy Fischer <root@math.ufl.edu> <fischer@math.ufl.edu>
