Hi,
I've refrained from asking stupid questions as I've had my crap inactive
for a while (ISP problems mainly), but I'm back to plague you!
Is anyone hosting a DECnet<-->SMTP gateway? I can't get SMTP to work with
my ISP (Virgin Media) from any operating system, but could do with being
about to bounce mail via a machine both ways.
I know it used to work, through LEGATO:: i think, but is this still active?
Thanks,
Tony Blews

I volunteered to host it (via a little partnership with Bob) and FRUGAL is
set up and ready to go, however I have not figured out a way yet to get it
to work without increasing my hosting bill. Some day when I get a bit of
time this winter I will revisit it. I may or may not have a way, just
have to think of what resources I have available and how to make it work.

Fred,
Why don't we bring back the hecnet.org gateway? My NetBSD server and Postfix should
be able to handle it easily. After I get back we can take a look at it.

If you are going to do that, I know its possible to have a host listen for
http request for, say *.host.hecnet.org and rewrite the url to forward the
the relevant address. This would be better that DNS forwarding, as, again
for example, "http://tardis.host.hecnet.org" could be rewritten to
"http://www.tardis.blews.co.uk:8080/"
As an aside, I'm currently playing with a home-brew dynamic dns thing,
which seems to be working but needs lots more testing before I let anyone
else play with it.

http is not email. :-)
Besides, looks like you're talking about http redirects. Another thing
you can do in http is actually serve different "hotst" from the same
server. As a part of a request, you get the actual utl, so you can see
what the user was looking for, even if it all ends up on the same
server. No need to redirect anything...
But it all depends on what you want to do, of course.
