Here in the Software Development Lab, we have PMDF on our VAX/VMS systems and sendmail/smail on our UNIX BSD systems. Within PMDF circles, the BN_MASTER and TEST_SMTP_SLAVE implementations were slightly modified producing BSMTP_MASTER and BSMTP_SLAVE. This channel attempts to handle Batch-SMTP style mail. All seems to work good, when a BSMTP_MASTER sends to a BSMTP_SLAVE. The problem is when I try to import this to a UNIX BSD 4.2 sendmail system. Sendmail doesn't seem to like what looks like a perfectly good SMTP packet. The input packet is: HELO cdfq.RAY.COM MAIL FROM:<D2B@cdfq> RCPT TO:<user@sads> DATA Date: Fri, 10 Jul 87 18:00 EST From: "Don Borsay, RAYtheon Submarine Signal" <D2B@cdfq> Subject: This is a Batch-SMTP packet To: user@sads X-VMS-To: in%"user@sads" This packet it output of the BSMTP channel, from the MASTER side. The BSMTP_SLAVE can inport this on the remote node, entering it into the PMDF mail system. . QUIT I get output from sendmail similar to the following: 220 rayssd.RAY.COM Sendmail 4.12/1.3/2.2/3.19A ready at Sat, 11 Jul 87 23:56:27 edt 250 rayssd.RAY.COM Hello cdfq.RAY.COM, pleased to meet you 250 <D2B@cdfq>...
