I've just put together some new E-mail software that, once I've tested
it some more, I'd be willing to make generally available. Before I do
that, though, I'd like to enlist the aid of a few adventurous system
managers to help me give it a good test.
A brief run-down of the features: interfaces with VMS MAIL via foreign
mail protocol; supports SMTP over CMU-Tek TCP/IP; supports BITNET mail
including mailer-to-mailer BSMTP over Jnet; supports mailing lists
with automatic subscription handling; has a built-in file server.
The package, called Message Exchange (MX), is VMSINSTALlable and comes
with a simple question-and-answer configuration script. I can make
the source code available as well, for those sites requiring it.
If this sounds interesting to you, and you are running VMS V5.0 or
later, CMU TCP/IP V6.4 (if you want SMTP support), and Jnet V3.4 (if
you want BITNET mail support), drop me a line at:
madison@vms.ecs.rpi.edu (Internet) or
madison@RPIECS (BITNET)
If you have Internet access and want to take a look at the documentation
first, the manuals (installation guide and management guide) are
available via anonymous FTP from vms.ecs.rpi.edu [128.113.5.15] in
directory [ANONYMOUS.MX]. If you're on BITNET, just ask me to send you
the manuals - I have them in PostScript and plain ASCII. If you're not
on the Internet or on BITNET, we can make other arrangements.
