A host name is local if one of the following conditions is true:
• The host name is the same as the substitute domain specified in the SMTP
configuration.
• The host name is found in the TCPIP$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT file.
Some IMAP client systems are confused by the use of personal names when you
attempt to reply to a mail message or when the name contains commas or other
special characters. If you define the configuration option Personal-Name described
in the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management guide, make sure you
test the configuration carefully with your IMAP Client systems before going live to
ensure that message replies work successfully.
