If your site has installed PMDF-MR then you can send messages to PMDF.

If your site is using DEC Mailbus (Message Router), then messages to PMDF from ALL-IN-1 Electronic Messaging or any of the A1MAIL products should be sent to an address of the form

user@host@mboxname

where user@host is the address of the recipient and mboxname specifies the Message Router mailbox name associated with PMDF, usually PMDF.^a The following example uses PMDF to reach the Internet address postmaster@example.com:

postmaster@example.com@pmdf

If PMDF-MR resides on a remote Message Router node called, for instance, DELTA, one might reach the same Internet address by specifying

postmaster@example.com@pmdf@delta

If your site is using PMDF-MR to replace the Transport Service component of DEC Message Router,⁹ then messages to PMDF from ALL-IN-1 Electronic Messaging or any of the A1MAIL products can instead be sent using addresses of the form

user@host

where user@host is the address of the recipient. The following example uses PMDF to reach the Internet address postmaster@example.com:

postmaster@example.com

Note that the IN% prefix and quoting requirements for PMDF addresses within VMS MAIL do not apply when specifying PMDF addresses to ALL-IN-1 or A1MAIL.

If delivery receipt or read receipt notifications are desired, simply use the standard facilities of ALL-IN-1 or A1MAIL to specify such. Do not use the "(delivery-receipt)" construct described in Section 1.1.10 with ALL-IN-1 or A1MAIL. Similarly, message attachments are specified through the standard facilities of the ALL-IN-1 or A1MAIL user agents.
