Hey guys,
After a prolonged absence during a particularly crap job in Qatar I?m finally able to do
fun DECNET stuff again.
Anything of interest happening lately? Is there a new mail gateway? If not, I?ve got
Multinet running on one of my nodes but have no idea of how to set it up to be a mail
gateway - so if someone is interested in helping me out, I?m happy to use LABVAX for
that..

Not much have happened, I think. And I don't think there is any mail
gateway setup yet. I don't know how Multinet works, so I can't help.
I should start writing a mail subsystem for RSX...

I'm still attempting to get a public cluster up and running for VAX and
Alpha OpenVMS, but it's taking some time. I'm struggling with multinet,
ssh, smtp and AlphaVM at the moment.
Slowly slowly catchy monkey. I have a million and one other things on the
go, and this isn't particularly high up the priority list currently.
I should have a date fixed for DEC Legacy 2016 shortly, sometime in October
this year.
Cheers, Mark

I was going to say the same thing. I know he has no control over it (it's
the company he works for) but I got a good morning chuckle out of it
myself. I am neutral on lawyers but I think it would be novel for the
silliness of those disclaimers to be tested in court. Or maybe not. ;)
This is why I fight tooth and nail at any place that is small enough where
I can convince the powers-that-be(tm) to NOT put these silly things on
their email.

Yeah the suits seem pretty out of control at that company. That's a
pretty bad sign for any company, but I suppose it happened to Fujitsu a
long time ago.

Well, all my outgoing email from my company account has to be vetted by a manager. So I
don't use it much.

Speaking of outgoing mail, I?m happy to set up a dedicated VAX (SIMH of course) to handle
it if someone can help me with the setup.

Guys,
I just configured a domain (hecnetmail.sampsa.com) and set up SMTP on GORVAX.
Outbound is working fine (locally on GORVAX), inbound and relaying from HECnet should work
in a few hours once the DNS propagates..
So to send mail out sent it got GORVAX::smtp%?foo at bar.com?.
Inbound addresses are ?NODE::USER?@hecnetmail.sampsa.com.
It?s not pretty, but it?s better than nothing.

And of course it?s not relaying mail. God damn it.
Any idea why I?m getting an SMTP 553 error when sending from any other node than GORVAX?
This used to work, is it the other mail servers not liking the ?NODE::USER? from address
or what?

.... wait.
What?
Many years ago (1998 timeframe?) I worked for a company where if you
wanted to access anything other than a service on port 80 or 443 you had
to go through their proxy which logged everything, but that's about the
strictest place I worked for.
