So MX can do the subdomain -> decnet node name
conversion?
You guys know that there s already an SMTP <-> HECnet/MAIL11 gateway, right?
There has been for years .
(If there was an archive for this group, we wouldn t keep re-inventing the same
thing!).
Here s my description of it from a couple of years back .

-------
I ve set up an Internet SMTP to HECnet MAIL11 gateway. To send mail from the
Internet to a HECnet node, address it to
user at
node.decnet.org
where user is the VMS (or RSX or RSTS or whatever) user name and node is the
HECnet node name. If you re logged into a HECnet machine you can send Internet mail
by addressing it to
LEGATO::SMTP%user at
whereever.com
Note that LEGATO will store mail sent in either direction for up two days if the target
node is down at the time that means your HECnet machine doesn t have to be online
24x7 in order to receive mail.
IMPORTANT - There is absolutely no SPAM filtering, so please be very careful about where
or how you publish these addresses unless you want your VMS mailbox filled up with
thousands of SPAMs
