Spot on. ;) For the reverse (outgoing and replies), configure the DN_SMTP server which is SMTP over DECnet. > This is a part of MX that I don't know nearly as well as I should, but I though you needed MX at both ends to make that work. Which would rule out RSTS and RSX hosts. They could forward to a VMS host or implement their own SMTP transport. I use MX% and 'TCP/IP Services' SMTP% transport. If you define logicals correctly, they can both coexist in harmony. Both 'TCPIP Services' POP and IMAP require that the MAIL$INTERNET_TRANSPORT logical be defined as SMTP and that the MX_PROTOCOL_PREFIX logical be defined as SMTP%. MX has alias translation, mailing list features and other delivery > agents such as X25, UUCP and a SITE interface. The latter allows a X25 and UUCP have been dropped when MX became open source. SITE is definitely still there. I've seend that used for lots of interesting stuff. I'm pretty sure it was Ruslan Laishev that developed an SMS gateway for MX. Well, in the age of ubiquitous internet, there's probably little need for either X25 and UUCP agents. You've yanked out the MX licensing now that it's open-source? -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
