Does any know of, can recommend, etc. an email system that runs as a
native vtam application on MVS/ESA. What we are trying to avoid is an
application developed under CICS, TSO, with the associated overhead.
SNMP hooks would be nice but not mandatory.

Legent's TPX offers one such facility, but it is fairly primitive.
We require the ability to compose, send to one or multiple recipients,
organize bulletin and bulletin boards for special interests, etc. I
know most of this functionality is better suited to other platforms,
but we've got a 'legacy base' (current buzzword) of 3270 users that
need the same level of communication that we provide on other network
environments. It would seem this application is best suited as
part of a multi-session manager in vtam, but, what our limitted exposure
has indicated, is that these are token efforts, based on transmitting
screen-oriented data from one user to another. Ideas?
