You have to let NEWS know how to transform an Internet mail address into a VMS
understandable address - this is done by editing news_manager:news_address.cnf
to match your mailer. Instructions as to the format and syntax of this file are
included in the distribution template of the file.
 
An alternative is to edit add_transform.c to alter the default rules in the
code to match your site's mail config.
 
 
ADD_TRANSFORM.C - default rules definition usxes in% mail handler
 
static
struct mail_address_rules {
  char *internet;       /* The structure which holds the address patterns  */
  char *local;          /* and the corresponding rewrite rules             */
  }
    def_rules[] = {     /* Default is to pass _all_ addresses to local PMDF */
        {"in%*",    "in%\001"},
        {"psi%*",   "psi%\001"},
        {"@*",      "@\001"},
        {"*@*",     "in%\"\001@\002\""},
        {"*::*",    "in%\"\002@\001\""},
        {"*",       "\001"},
        {"",""}},
