Well not totally novice. What I would like to be able to do is route mail from my nice shiny new VAX 6530, running VMS 5.4 to a few DECStation 5000/200 machines running Ultrix 4.1, actually I really want the mail to end up on the Sun at my desk (the console to a Sun 4/490 running SunOS4.1), But I can handle that part easily enough. I do not know a lot about VMS system stuff like mail and the sort. Any solution at all would be nice short term. Of course a long term solution with some $$$ spent is not out of the question. -- | () () () | Frank P.

The easiest solution would be to install DECnet on one of the ULTRIX
machines. Then you could just send mail from the VMS box to
UNODE::user (where UNODE is the DECnet node name of your ULTRIX
box). You might have to change the definition of the Y macro in
sendmail.cf if your (unqualified) ULTRIX hostname isn't the same
as its DECnet node name, but other than that, your ULTRIX box
can handle the rest.
There are also some various third-party packages that allow VMS
boxes to speak SMTP, but I can't personally vouch for any of them.
