Can anyone out there tell me how to transfer mail between USENET and
an internal DECNET (VMS MAIL) system?  I presume that I need some
software to handle the routing, but nobody here seems to know anything
about it.

Here is what we have:

    DECNET <----> VMS system <----> Unix system <----> UUCP to world
    (internal     (has uucp         (This system
    network)      mail routed       routes mail
		  to it from        to the vax)
		  the outside 
		  world)

We are running uucp mail between the VMS system and the Unix system,
but cannot route mail to and from the rest of the DECNET.  That is, 
we would like to be able to read uucp mail using the VAX MAIL system,
and route it to remote nodes, and also have remote nodes route mail 
to the outside world using VAX MAIL.

Is this possible?  (Does it make sense?)

Any and all replies will be greatly appreciated.

thanks -
      rms
