Sending mail to a TCP network recipient

The following example shows sending mail from an NJE network host to two TCP network recipients. The NJE network is BITNET, and the NJE host is named YOURMVS. This batch SMTP data set is spooled to SMTP at OURMVS, which is running with the run-time arguments GATEWAY and NJEDOMAIN BITNET. OURMVS is a BITNET host and is also connected through a TCP network to the hosts rsch.our.edu and ai.our.edu.

Note: The date header must contain the time and the correct time zone. If the time zone is not present, then the time the e-mail is received on the remote side defaults to a time zone of GMT. See RFC 822 for the required syntax of this information.

SMTP rewrites the From: line to reflect that the mail has been transferred from an NJE network (in this case, BITNET) to a TCP network. The TCP network recipients receive:

From: carol <CAROL%YOURMVS.
