Just an additional comment (having just encountered this same problem as
well): The "@domainname:" prefix to the addresses is the standard
indication for "relayed" mail and results (with the NOSOURCEROUTE
default) if you specify a FROM address that is from an address that has
a different domain name than the MVS system (like when your main
corporate Email is handled on a different platform and you want all
responses to go to that). Some sites would not consider rejecting such
mail as an "error", as mail that appears to be relayed could very well
make it suspect as SPAM. It may be that GWIA change is the result of a
deliberate attempt to block potential SPAM, and not a "bug" you can
expect them to change.
Strictly speaking, the address generated by the SMTP server on MVS is
attempting to say that a reply to your from address should be sent to
the originating MVS system which will then forward it to the
"originating" FROM address. If that's not what you intend to convey,
then the change really should be made on the MVS SMTP side by changing
the NOSOURCEROUTE parameter.

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

Check out the REWRITE822HEADER option.

Hi All
My mails generated by SMTP MVS are getting rejected by groupwise 7
mailserver with the following reason code :
10:49:28 3A6 DMN: MSG 890 Refused sender:
@NODENAME.IDATA:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (1)
Groupwise guru's says that is because of the extra @ in front of the
domain
name.
Problem is that i do not know where this @ comes from ?
From my SMTP log I get the domain name:
EZA5128I TCP Network Domain Name : NODENAME.IDATA
I have a limited number of parameters that I can use to control the TO
/
FROM /ERROR address ect, but I cant find how to remove this extra @
best regards
