I misspoke when I said gmail. It ultimately gets to a gmail account, but
not directly.
I configured my postfix mail on my external server to trust the VAX IP
Address, so it doesn't ask for authentication.
Then configured Multinet as described here:
$ MULTINET CONFIGURE/MAIL
MAIL-CONFIG> SET FORWARDER name-of-forwarder
MAIL-CONFIG> SET FORWARD-REMOTE-MAIL TRUE
MAIL-CONFIG> EXIT
$ @MULTINET:START_SMTP
name-of-forwarder=external mail server IP address.
That takes care of outbound mail.
For inbound mail, I created a mail routing rule to route all email from a
specific domain to the VAX SMTP port. The VAX looks for a valid user and
delivers the mail. It discards anything else.

Hum. You get it working with gmail??? That is
surprising. I noticed
several years ago that gmail do not accept mails with a from address in
the form "foo::bar"@mim.update.uu.se, even though it actually should
accept it.
How does multinet rewrite the from address then?

email to that domain to be forwarded to the Vax for delivery.
It works great. I can email from the VAX to a GMAIL account and then
reply back.

I wasn't sure where to post this question, so
I thought I would
start here.
I have two simh vax3900 machines. Larry and Moe. Larry is the
HECNet
router for Moe.
When I send email from Larry (via SMTP), the _return _email
address is
correct (SYSTEM at LARRY.MYDOMAIN.COM
<mailto:SYSTEM at LARRY.MYDOMAIN.COM> <mailto:SYSTEM at LARRY.MYDOMAIN.COM
<mailto:SYSTEM at LARRY.MYDOMAIN.COM>>.
When I send email from Moe (to LARRY::SMTP%"user at domain.com
<mailto:user at domain.com>
<mailto:user at domain.com <mailto:user at
domain.com>>"), the return
email address is:
SYSTEM at SCSSYSTEMID.MYDOMAIN.COM
<mailto:SYSTEM at SCSSYSTEMID.MYDOMAIN.COM>
<mailto:SYSTEM at SCSSYSTEMID.MYDOMAIN.COM
<mailto:SYSTEM at SCSSYSTEMID.MYDOMAIN.COM>>.
Why is Moe using the SCSSYSTEMID instead of the system name?
*I am missing something.*
I'm not sure how you should do a setup of mail relaying in VMS.
However, you can always send from Moe to MIM::user at domain.com
<mailto:MIM%3A%3Auser at domain.com>. Those
mails should then get correct addresses.
