[mod.computers.vax] Mail Decnet Problem

CARS@CUTHRY.BITNET.UUCP (02/19/87)

 
        We have a microvax and a vax 11/780 on decnet.  We can send mail
        from the microvax to the vax - but when we send mail from the
        vax to the microvax we get this error:
 
        MAIL> send
        To:  nodename::user
                MAIL-E-LOGLINK, error creating network link to node nodename
                SYSTEM-F-LINKEXIT, network partner exited
        MAIL>
 
        We have no problems transfering files, etc.  There is no
        NETSERVER.LOG created that we can find on the remote node(microvax).
        The microvax MAIL.COM, MAIL.EXE have standard protection and MAIL
        is in the default configuration database.   Any suggestions are
        appreciated!

since it is inbound mail to the microvax, and since most microvaxen come
without mail installed, and since mail needs privs that the default decnet
account doesn't have, I would presume that you simply need to install mail
on the microvax side.....
