Ed,

    The answer is yes -- at least, recent versions of VMS PMDF can run
SMTP over TCP.

PS:  For those of you who don't know what PMDF is...  There are several
versions of PMDF (which in turn are based on MMDF).  VMS PMDF is Ned
Freed's version of PMDF which is loosely based on the original Unix PMDF
by Ira Winston, which in turn is based on early versions of MMDF (by
Dave Crocker).  The 'P' stands for Pascal -- it was originally a simple
mail system designed for use with CSNET's PhoneNet.  The VMS version
has grown to rival MMDF in size and complexity.
