mail login@site.network
Replace site with the name of the site where the person login identifies is, and replace network with the name of the network that person is on.
For example, the following command sends mail to someone who's login is "echo," who is at "hp-pcd," and who uses the "uucp" network.
mail echo@hp-pcd.uucp
There are other networks as well as uucp. Another example is the bitnet net. A possible mail command might be:
mail lstsru@orstate.bitnet
Earlier in this chapter there was a discussion of domain addresses. It is important that a domain is specified when sending mail. The only exceptions are when you are mailing within the sub-domain cs.pdx.edu. That is, all machines in the Computer Science Department do not require that a network is specified, if you are mailing from a CS machine. For review, if your machine is in the Computer Science Department, then your return address is:
`login-name@machine-name.cs.pdx.edu'
