[fa.info-vax] VAX/VMS mail systems on the Internet

From: /Steve Dyer <sdyer@bbnccv>


What are VAX/VMS users who are directly connected to the Internet
using for a mail system?  The few VMS systems we have here at BBN
are running a simple mail system without name aliasing and knowledge
of people's home machines, a fine kludge when they are a minority
of systems, but more VMS systems are coming in, it is time to look
for a more coordinated approach.

Does anyone know whether an MH.5/{Sendmail, MMDF-II} combination could
run under EUNICE and Wollongong TCP/IP?  Can DEC Mail be configured
for an SMTP environment?

Thanks in advance,

At Ames Research Center we are implementing on VMS 3.7 and 4.0 systems the
TCP/IP and Dbridge software supplied by Wollongong in Palo Alto.  We have
tested it on three systems and are adding three more in the next few weeks.
The mailer has worked reasonably well although some anomalies have been
discovered as we gain experience with it.  We are working closely with
Wollongong to identify the bugs.  To date we are very pleased with the results
and recommend it.  Milo Medin of our staff has been conducting the tests.
