Fowarding
All the UNIX cluster machines at PPPL use an address of the
form username@pppl.gov. (@theory.pppl.gov,
@carl.pppl.gov and
@suntsu.pppl.gov, etc., also work, but shouldn't be used.)
All the VAXes, on the other hand, use an address of the form
username@vaxmail.pppl.gov. Again, @rax.pppl.gov and@hax.pppl.gov also work but shouldn't normally be used.
The official PPPL forwarding machine is pppl.gov, which
should be added as a suffix to every e-mail address to PPPL sent from
off-campus. Usually, an address of simply
username@pppl.gov is enough for the fowarding machine to
find the addressee. Aliases for this machine include
ppl.pppl.gov, pppl.pppl.gov, and pobox.pppl.gov.
Within PPPL, the extension .pppl.gov is
optional. Thus, karney@vaxmail, and
karney@ppl are sufficient. On the UNIX cluster machines
.pppl.gov is also optional.
Finally, if you would like to mail off-campus, more information
about Internet naming systems can be found in Section 7.4 [Internet
Domain Name System] of the report, `Data Communications and Networking at PPPL' (by Jim Snyder). To find out more about sending and reading
mail, see User-User Comm.
