I am sure this question has been asked before, "How can one connect VMS mail and Unix mail" We have lots of SUN on a network running mail and have everyone mailing quite happily, we also have a number of VAX VMS which also have mail bouncing arround, but the two universes don't connect(via mail that is). We have SUNLINK DNI, so we can set host/rlogin back and forth and I know enough about the SUN's to make it do tricks, but I am VMS illiterate. Physically we are connected via ethernet/decnet and could set up serial lines easily(Would prefer the ethernet solution though). Is there anything that runs on a VMS system that resembles sendmail/uucp? It seems fairly straight forwards to write a program that would go from the unix side to grab mail from my personal mailbox and mail this to myself (Am I missing something here?), but generalizing this seems to be a problem due to passwords etc. Personally I would settle for just getting my mail on the VMS side delivered to the UNIX side but It would be much nicer if it would go both ways 8-). If there are no public domain solutions does anyone know of commercial ones! Thanks for any help, -- George MacDonald @ Northern Telecom ..!dartvax!sirius!gmd

While we are on the subject of Unix and VMS connectivity, I was wondering if anyone knows of (or has ideas on) connections between Unix and BNA (Burroughs Network Architecture) ? -- -------------- Vivek Bhargava: Unisys Corporation, Mission Viejo, California.

it's easy to get them to talk if your VMS vax also talks SMTP...We use the Woolagong WIN/TCP which gives most TCP services (for a rather large fee). We also get unix mail to Decnet-only Vaxes by routing through an Ultrix Vaxstation 2000. Ultrix's mailer has a very nice interface between Decnet mail and SMTP mail... to get mail from your Suns you'd mail to : user%vax.dnet@ultrix the .dnet tells Ultrix to use Decnet mail... -- Vince Skahan - please reply to skahan@boeing.com or bcsaic!psev!bcs212 Note: any comments expressed above are mine and have no relation to Boeing or the real nice folks who let me read news on their system...
