a temporary username to allow me to establish an email connection
to Nokia Telecommunications.
I urgently need some help on tracking down a program that allows email
interchange between the Unix sendmail and VMS DECNET worlds. Having
read the overview document of the UK Sendmail 2.1 configuration package
it mentions the support of 'DECNET' channels using a program callled
'mail11'.
We have a string of Apollo workstations (DN2500/3500s running Domain OS
10.2) linked together and to a Vax (running VMS 5.2) by a central
ethernet. The Vax is connected to a large number of Vaxen in Finland
and will thus act as our gateway between the UK and Finland. The
Apollos are running some version of sendmail (I haven't found out which
yet), and the Vax is running the standard VMS mail system.
What I require is a handle on how to get hold of this 'mail11' program,
how to install and use it, and any "I would/wouldn't do this if I were
you" advice from anyone who has managed to link sendmail to DECNET mail.
Any takers?
Logica have been kind enough to allow me use this mail address for the
next few weeks and thus you can reply to this mail message. Otherwise I
can be contacted at:-
Nokia Telecommunications Ltd,
