That’s used when sending mail outbound from VMS. Inbound to VMS is always sent with an empty userid/password.

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 V7.3 with all patches I’ve found on a recent download of OpenSimh on a really slow 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.
