I am sure this question has been asked before, "How can one connect VMS mail and Unix mail" We have lots of SUN on a network running mail and have everyone mailing quite happily, we also have a number of VAX VMS which also have mail bouncing arround, but the two universes don't connect(via mail that is). We have SUNLINK DNI, so we can set host/rlogin back and forth and I know enough about the SUN's to make it do tricks, but I am VMS illiterate. Physically we are connected via ethernet/decnet and could set up serial lines easily(Would prefer the ethernet solution though). Is there anything that runs on a VMS system that resembles sendmail/uucp? It seems fairly straight forwards to write a program that would go from the unix side to grab mail from my personal mailbox and mail this to myself (Am I missing something here?), but generalizing this seems to be a problem due to passwords etc. Personally I would settle for just getting my mail on the VMS side delivered to the UNIX side but It would be much nicer if it would go both ways 8-). If there are no public domain solutions does anyone know of commercial ones! Thanks for any help, -- George MacDonald @ Northern Telecom ..!dartvax!sirius!gmd
