Re: Bouncing mail notes back when DECNET is down.

I think that the best you could do is have a batch job sit around and run
every 15 or so minutes which would check to see if the links were still
up, and if so, do nothing.  If the links weren't up anymore go into mail
and cancel the SET FORWARD.  I never tried this, so I'm not sure if it would
work, but it seems it would...
