How can I send mail to an “hpdesk” address?
For a person whose DESK address is: JANE DOE /HP1234/XY Ignore the subentity (XY) and use the form: jane_doe@hp1234.desk.hp.com Send them a test message and tell them to make a note of the return address, as forming internet addresses on DESK is a little more complicated. If there is an X.400 system between you and the DESK person, what you get back may look like a very strange internet address, but it generally works. Notice the underscore between names. Names can be first_last or last_first, but first_last is easier to remember and get correct, especially if they have initials in their name as in fred_l_doe@hpatc1.desk.hp.com. Be sure that the DESK address they give you is exactly what is reported by DESK when they send a message to themselves or look at the distribution list on a piece of mail the recipient already has to verify the address.
