[news.software.b] news between VMS NOTES and Unix Bnews

heiser@tdw201.ed.ray.com (04/26/91)

We have a situation where we would like to be able to share specific
Bnews conferences with equivalent Vax/VMS Notes conferences.  I had
the idea of mailing articles back and forth.  Is anyone else out there
doing anything like this, maybe using alternative methods?

I did try something like this in my Bnews sys file, but never got anything
mailed out when I posted:

rayssd:world,na,usa,ne,ray,all.all,!to,to.rayssd::/usr/lib/news/sendnews
  rnews@rayssd         (this is all on one line)
tdw201:to.sud509::/usr/ucb/mail heiser

The rayssd line is for our regular news connection.  The tdw201 line is
where I attempted (to test the idea of e-mailing messages to a NOTES
alias on the VMS system) to mail articles posted to to.sud509 to me.
I never got any mail!

Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
