Well, the obvious first question would be - does the default DECnet
account actually exist and is not expired?
If you want to experiment in a slightly simpler way, try sending to an
RSX system instead. They are usually set up with no requirement for any
authentication for mail.

I’m trying to get mail working from my latest Linux
DECnet release to
OopenVMS with the intention of eventually upgrading to the mail11v3
protocol. I’m running an up to date version of VAX OpenVMS V7.3with all
patches I’ve found on a recent download of OpenSimh on a reallyslow ARM
system. The system has a default DECnet account as well as a MAIL$SERVER
account. Whenever I try to send e-mail, the connection is rejected with
a “No such user” error:
Auditable event: Network login failure
Event time: 29-NOV-2023 10:14:32.96
PID: 00000098
Process name: MAIL_8198
Username: DECNET
Remote node id: 42186 (41.202)
Remote username: Linux0000
Status: %LOGIN-F-NOSUCHUSER, no such user
I also get the same rejection error if I try to connect to FAL with no
access control information. However, if I connect to FAL using the
explicit nonpriviledged userid/password returned by NCP, everything
works as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John.
