This is not an advertisement, but.... MLNET is a system for Unix machines
that's a lot like uucico except that the protocol used for transferring
files is good old kermit and the dialogue, apart from kermit phases, is
controlled by scripts. We use this system to move mail into/outof several
VAX/VMS machines using a mail relay user account MLNET. VMS users mail
to MLNET!user@domain (so that it goes to his mail.box where it's easy
to pick up and determine who it's for). VMS users receive mail that says
it's From: MLNET!user@domain (this required a simple "forgery" program
that runs with priviledges). If you have a Unix machine (even Xenix will
do) then you can talk to VMS (and even more, we use MLNET and not UREP
to get to VM!)
MLNET might be a solution.
