Subject: VMS mail
I am looking for some information on VAX/VMS mail, specifically
how easy is it to trick VMS mail into believing it is a node of
a mail network when the VMS system is not DECnetted and the other
mail nodes are VAX/UNIX(4.2 BSD), TOPS-10 (as in DECsystem-10),
and IBM VM/CMS (ugh)? We currently have our TOPS-10 system
pretending to be a UUCP node and through that we are sending mail
to our IBM 4341. We now have a number of VAX/VMS sites on
campus that would like to participate in our mail/file transfer
network, but none of the sites have anyone who know enough about
VMS mail to even begin to figure out how to get VMS mail to
know about other non-DECnet nodes. I have noticed that there are
VMS sites on UUCP. How are they participating??? Note that our
VMS sites are looking for the cheapest solution (dial-up file
transfer seems fancy to them), so Ethernet TCP/IP isn't really
an option in this case.
I would really appreciate any information and sharing of
experience that anyone can offer. Thanks in advance. Send
