I just had this problem yesterday and had a workaround implemented on the mainframe SMTP. Your novell/grpwise administrator is wrong. This problem probably happenned to you after they applied some maintenance to GWIA 6.5x or higher. We also use the grpwise internet agent as our relay server. The problem started to happen after the maintenance applied on grpwise over the weekend. Since grpwise sees, server address as invalid e-mail address.
SMTP maintains source routing address as documented in RFC821. The new patches on GWIA interprets BSMTP mail headers as invalid e-mail addresses. It has nothing to do with REWRITE822HEADER. You could temporarily overcome this problem (until novell sends another patch for GWIA) by adding this statement on mainframe SMTP Config with NOSOURCEROUTE ENABLED. If you are only sending mails from mainframe, NOSOURCEROUTE MAILCMD is sufficient. Hope this helps Thanks Nat >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/08/05 7:19 PM >>> Check out the REWRITE822HEADER option.
