Richard,

The folks who maintain the web site indicate that the pubs AT tivoli DOT com
address is gone, and emails will not be redirected. Instead, customers can
provide feedback via the following site:

   http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/contact.html

Pick the "tivweb AT us.ibm DOT com" address and send your feedback there.

Regards,

Andy

Could someone in IBM/Tivoli fix this gross error...

The front of each TSM manual says to send feedback to  pubs AT tivoli DOT com
I tried that twice this morning and got:

  ... while talking to smtp2.tivoli.com.:
  >>> RCPT To:<pubs AT tivoli DOT com>
  <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts
(#5.7.1)
  550 pubs AT tivoli DOT com... User unknown

This was manually verified:

  10:12:07 acsn05 [~] nc smtp2.tivoli.com 25
  220 smtp2.tivoli.com ESMTP
  helo foobar
  250 smtp2.tivoli.com
  mail from: <rbs AT bu DOT edu>
  250 ok
  rcpt to: <pubs AT tivoli DOT com>
  553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
  quit
  221 smtp2.tivoli.com

This obviously needs to be investigated by Tivoli, both to fix it and find
out
what procedures are awry to allow such a thing to happen.
