What Are Mail Addresses?
Mail addresses come in many different types and forms. NetMail/3000 uses mail
addresses that look like this:
Your mail address will look something like this. You will find your mail address displayed
in the upper right corner of your terminal display whenever you are in the NetMail program.
Most other mail addresses you will encounter will look something like this format also.
However, you may also see any one of the following formats of mail addresses:
/PN=john.doe/O=bigcorp/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/@SPRINT.COM
John_SMITH/DESK1/L1@HPDESK.COMPANY.COM
johndoe%host1.BITNET@hostgate.utt.edu
01234567@MCIMAIL.COM
70901.987@COMPUSERVE.COM
host1!host2!johndoe
host:johndoe@MAP.DAS.NET
You may even see combinations of some of these (if you communicate with outside net-
works). Though you need not be concerned with the details of what these addresses mean, you
may have to enter addresses like these if your organization is connected to a large network like the
Internet. Not to be alarmed, to communicate with users in your own organization, you need only
know their mail name (NetMail/3000 automatically figures out what machine the user is on).
