4143.0. "ALL-IN-1 mail/SMTP gateway func?" by HITIT::KAYI () Mon May 09 1994 09:32

    An ALL-IN-1 customer of ours wants to connect to the Internet for
    send/receive mail.  They are currently using V2.4.
    
    Assuming we propose an appropriate router on the Ethernet to connect 
    them to the Internet, what do we need to enable a1 mail-SMTP gateway
    functionality.  Will DEC TCP/IP services for VMS serve this purpose?
    
    This is very urgent, please.
    
    Thanks and regards,
    
    Fusun

	You might get a better answer to this in one of the Networks, gateways, DECnet, MailBus, etc., conferences. Assuming a suitable router, as for example is present on EasyNet, ALL-IN-1 can trivially generate the address strings necessary to get to Internet. Graham

	Assuming you have Message Router, then the UMC gateway ("ULTRIX Mail Connection") will connect you to SMTP. grahame

	Further questions..... .2�Assuming you have Message Router, then the UMC gateway ("ULTRIX Mail .2�Connection") will connect you to SMTP. In our case we do / will have Message Router. Does the UMC gateway run on VMS or on Ultrix?? (the Decdirect catalogue shows it as an Ultrix license only??). Is there any alternatives to UMC - 'cos the cost of this one gateway is more than the customer is paying for a small 3100, with VMS and Message Router and X.400 and DEC MAIlworks gateways! Cheers, Chris
4143.4	One solution?	IOSG::MARSHALL	A glitch in reality	`Thu May 26 1994 11:37`	10
	If they're getting the X.400 gateway (MRX?) then surely they can get to SMTP / Internet via X.400-land? Not the neatest solution, but it should work (shouldn't it, he asks na�vely?). All they need to do is get the mail addresses right :-) I tried seeing what the Easynet Internet gateways use, but both VBORMC and DECWRL (the only ones I know of) run U*ix; do we have an internal Internet gateway on OpenVMS?

Will DEC TCP/IP services for VMS serve this purpose? I think so, when you use the following syntax... To: _SMTP%"""[email protected]""" ALL-IN-1 invokes VMS mail and of you go. Regards, Jan
4143.6	don't use the example	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	Atlanta's Most (In)famous Welshman	`Thu May 26 1994 14:38`	8
	re .5, I think that the example in .5 is a real person employed here at the CSC and i bet he doesn't want to get lots of test messages. regards, Andrew.D.Wicks
4143.7	example is from the author...	PTGSYS::SCHOLLAERT	Office WEBmaster	`Thu May 26 1994 15:06`	11
	re .6 I just did a cut/paste from a STARS article written by.... PHILLIP HIBBERT... Regards, Jan
