Hi Fred... well I guess I'm going in the right direction - setting postfix.
Thanks for the info - I have several OpenVMS servers running (some
clustered, some not) and it would be useful to use box or cluster names to
direct emails as suggested.
Sergey: when the hosts are available I'll let the list know - you'll then
be able to sign up yourself using Stephen Hoffman's NEWUSER application.
Regards, Mark.

I'd also like to be able to receive emails direct to the box, but this is
a secondary requirement. I do have a linux server available running ubuntu
that could act as a forwarding service if that's an easier setup.
I would use Linux/your ubuntu box as a central mail "hub" and let all the
VMS systems (running Multinet) email through that. Set up authentication
on the linux box if you wish, but I do not do that here (but I also don't
run a public access VMS site). You can not only make your VMS systems send
"through" the linux box, but mail received by the linux box for (
openvms.yourdomain.com) can be silently relayed to the VMS box - that's
how I do it here. Just set up an MX entry for openvms.yourdomain.com to
be your linux host, set up postfix transport maps and it handles the rest
for incoming. For outbound relay, just set up postfix to allow the IP of
your VMS system to relay through your host.

... would be a good start along with the manual pages for transport(5).
