| From an OpenVMS system with UCX installed, at the MAIL To:
prompt the following syntax invokes SMTP:
To: SMTP%"[email protected]"
If your question is more precisely: How can I have VAXmail forwarded
to a system that only receives SMTP mail?, then I'm not sure.

One can set mail-forwarding to another system via SMTP or a variety
of other protocols.
There are also tools to transfer the contents of an OpenVMS mail file
over to a UNIX system.
With a recent IP package (such as UCX V4.0 or later) and a recent
version of OpenVMS (V6.2 and later), one can use the MAIL syntax:
To: [email protected]
With V6.2 and later, MAIL can now detect the format of an SMTP address,
and can automatically activate the SMTP transport. (Assuming there is
an IP package that has the necessary transport installed. UCX and
various third-party products support this mechanism.)
On all OpenVMS versions (with an IP package that supports it), one
can send e-mail to smtp%"[email protected]", as .-1 says.
The UCX conference is at LASSIE::UCX, and the MAIL conference is
at VMSZOO::VMSMAIL.

One minor bug that I just got around to QARing is that while V6.2
recognises the SMTP address syntax on a send as shown above, it does
not recognise that syntax on SET FORWARD. There is an easy workaround
but empirical evidence suggests that it is not obvious enough for your
average UNIXhead. [Only a UNIXhead would want to autoforward mail from a
VMS system to a UNIX system. (-:]
Another feature(?) is that an address of the form user@bar is treated
as being equivalent to BAR::USER rather than as an Internet style
address for the "same" thing i.e. the node name must comprise at least
two dot separated names to be treated as Internet style. I assume that
this is deliberate even though it doesn't seem particularly desirable
or logical.
