I had to post this since I can't email directly from here to TCD. Can
anyone do it from the UK? What's the problem? The only way I've got
email to them in the last few months has been via mcsun or inria.

I get mail from the U.K. bearing the address
username%IE.TC...@UK.AC.EARN-RELAY
which seems to work fine.

I think you will find it easier to count how many top level
domains are in the NRS.
I see CH, NZ, UK, DESY(?) and CERN(?)

I would certainly not agree that there were three mail networks in Ireland.
*ALL* mail networks have gatewayed between the different protocols in use
in Ireland.

Ireland has attempted to register in the UK NRS system many times since
1985, but to no avail, despite filling in the forms.
If you find that the EARN relay is not working, I suggest that you route
mail for Ireland via ukc.ac.uk rather than the EARN relay.

they might as well take along the *whole* list of the

IS (Iceland)
IT (Italy)
JP (Japan)
KR (Korea (South))

LK (Sri Lanka)
MX (Mexico)
MY (Malaysia)

This must be the right answer - it fits exactly what's been happening to my
messages.
So, what does it take to persuade the NRS and the EARN-relay to fix this?
Is anybody from Bradford or RAL listening? Do they need some extra routing
information from Ireland to sort it out? If so, what?
