LEGATO:: does not know about TARDIS::.

A fairly up-to-date nodename list can be copied from PONDUS:: for the time being, as MIM:: is down.

      Hi, I've just tried this and got this error mailed back to me:
      Bad address -- <"tardis::tony">
      Error --
      %MAIL-E-LOGLINK, error creating network link to node TARDIS
                -SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHNODE, remote node is unknown
      And mailing from the VMS box gives me this:
      MAIL> mail
      To: legato::smtp%tonyblews at gmail.com
      <mailto:legato%3A%3Asmtp%25tonyblews at gmail.com>
      %JBC-E-JOBQUEDIS, system job queue manager is not running
      This is probably my fault, so what am I doin wrong?

                    I   ve set up an Internet SMTP to HECnet MAIL11 gateway.     To
              send mail from the Internet to a HECnet node, address it to____

              ____

              user at node.decnet.org <mailto:user at node.decnet.org>____

              ____

              where    user    is the VMS (or RSX or RSTS or whatever) user name
              and    node    is the HECnet node name.     If you   re logged into a
              HECnet machine you can send Internet mail by addressing it to____

              ____

              LEGATO::SMTP%user at whereever.com <mailto:user at whereever.com>____

              ____

              Note that LEGATO will store mail sent in either direction for up
              two days if the target node is down at the time     that means
              your HECnet machine doesn   t have to be online 24x7 in order to
              receive mail.____

              ____

              IMPORTANT - There is absolutely no SPAM filtering, so please be
              very careful about where or how you publish these addresses
              unless you want your VMS mailbox filled up with thousands of
              SPAMs   ____
