What software did you run for the MAIL11 gateway?
Multinet can do this.
Outgoing (DECnet->SMTP) is trivial. Incoming (SMTP->DECnet) requires some
DNS futzing and Multinet configuration.

Yes I know - but I'm not a big fan of incoming SMTP, adds lots of noise to logs.

If you guys want to do direct incoming SMTP for some reason, I'm not
sure I'll be able to help, I think my ISP blocks inbound SMTP.
FWIW, I used to run an SMTP<->MAIL11 gateway on LEGATO, but I quit when I
transferred to CODA. I have no objection to doing it again, but frankly no
one used it much. I think that the HECnet machines that people actually
used from day-to-day are already all connected directly to the Internet
anyway and the MAIL11 gateway is superfluous.

Go for it!
I'll reconfigure CHIMPY to do email on the behalf of that domain if
you wish, the way I've set up my incoming mail is as follows:
1. MX record points at Google Apps
2. Catchall account at Google Apps picks up the mail
3. Fetchmail on my network picks up mail from Google Apps and
distributes it here

Out of curiosity, I took a look to see whether domains like hec.net

weren't. That kind of burst my bubble a bit. :-)

Hi,
Well, hecnet.eu is available - I'd like to see a 'meta' hecnet page
online containing links to all the individual sites with a
description of the project etc. We could subdomain this to provide smtp.hecnet.eu
for example of mail.hecnet.eu and the like.
I'm happy to foot the bill and setup a webserver (wasd of course!).
Regards, Mark

While we're on the subject, PAMINA is unreachable via telnet, and I
haven't been able to telnet into TINA in almost 2 weeks. Any idea
what's been happening at update? I miss TINA's othello. :)
TINA has moved to 130.238.12.208 (from 130.238.8.42). The DNS entries
should be updated by now. I guess Bj rn forgon to tell hecnet at update :)

Thanks,

Oh, you want updates? :-)
Let's see...
FNATTE have been decomissioned for good, I think.
PONDUS is now an 11/93 with 4 MB.
PAMINA is also KLH-10

I don't even have HECnet attachment yet, but in the new year along with this
I plan to bring up an X.400 <-> SMTP g/w on UNIX, and do some tinkering with
MAILBus 400, X.500 and possibly FTAM and VT, too. I realise this would imply
a separate Phase V network for that stuff, but wonder if we could g/w
MAIL-11 to/from HECnet? It's all a bit hazy as it's years since I worked on
this stuff, but remember there was a Message Router to X.400 gateway on
VAX/VMS only.
Cheers,
Andrew
PS. I'd registered isonet.org.uk for the ISO networking stuff.
