3108.0. "E-Mail to Commodore" by SMAUG::SPODARYK (Binary Throttle) Tue Nov 14 1989 17:40

    I believe I've seen this elsewhere, but... What's the proper e-mail
    address to use to send mail to people at Commodore?  DECWRL::"??"
    I always see .signatures with: 
    
    user@cbmvax.UUCP  and  rutgers!cbmvax!user  , etc...
    
    but these and other variations keep failing.  I'm quite familiar with
    'domain' addressing and UUCP (having spent some time writing mail
    gateways) but can't find the proper path.  Is there another gateway
    besides DECWRL, with more up-to-date databases?                 
    
    Thanks,

3108.1PULLY::PLOUFFcan't memorize Zen...Tue Nov 14 1989 19:479
    DECWRL does not support routing to the UUCP domain.  Try:
    
    	nm%DECWRL::"user@cbmvax.cbm.com"      (ought to work)
    	nm%DECWRL::"decvax!ulowell!cbmvax!user"  (definitely works)
    
    For more information on e-mail to external sites, see the notesfile
    UPSAR::GATEWAYS.  It may tell you whether there is a European gateway.

3108.2No such luck...SMAUG::SPODARYKBinary ThrottleTue Nov 14 1989 20:1514
    Wes, Thanks for the re-assurance, but neither of those do the trick.
    Any other suggestions?

3108.4Restrain yourself if possible...FROCKY::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Wed Nov 15 1989 10:0917
    
    Dale (Luck) isn't at cbmvax, he's at cbmvax!boing!dale.
    
    And BTW, email to CBM/CATS people should be reduced to an ABSOLUTE
    minimum, otherwise these folks will cut the wires. Try getting an
    answer here or in comp.sys.amiga(.tech) first, please.
    
    Regards,
    
    <CB>
    
    P.S.
        
    It should be:
    user@cbmvax.commodore.com
    
    Works for me...
3108.5All set...SMAUG::SPODARYKBinary ThrottleWed Nov 15 1989 12:3410
    Dale Luck _is_ at cbmvax, as least for the next few months.  He'll
    be working out of Commodore, West Chester PA.
    
    I realize that mail to CBM/CATs shouldn't be abused, but Dale and I
    have been conversing using 'real' mail, and this is the best/only
    way I have to currently reach him.
    
    Thanks for the help...
    
    ~Steve
3108.6Happy emailing...FROCKY::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Thu Nov 16 1989 07:0516
    Re: -.5
    
    Gee, I knew he was going to do some work for them, but movin' from
    CA to PA doesn't sound like a move forward to me. ;-) Maybe his home
    suffered from quake after all. ;-)
    
    Thanks for understanding my fears about extensive emailing to CBM.
    
    BTW, I believe that cbmvax is (will be) set up in a way that it
    routes mail to known users at CBM subsidaries (sp?) like the west
    coast facilities country HQs automagically, so email to Dale might
    still work using the same address if he's back in the sunny west.

3108.7Commodore in other countries?FROCKY::NICOLTobias NicolMon Sep 30 1991 13:4115
    Hi,
    
    does anybody knows if there's a possibility to mail to Commodore Germany
    directly? It should be easier to get an answer to "local questions"
    from the division of Commodore in your own country.
    
    Maybe we can use this topic for adresses of Commodore in other
    countries too. If someone knows such an adress, he may post it as a
    reply. So not all questions of the world will reach the guys in USA
    (Re .4).
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
        Tobias.

    From Amiga news group posting, I took this one:
    
    	Dr. Peter Kittel of Commodore Bueromaschinen GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany
    	is on Internet address 
    
			peterk@cbmger.UUCP 

    I don't know Peter's position within Commodore Germany, though.
