The Internet mail agent programs that I know that run on VMS are PMDF,
Pony Express, and Software Tools Mail. We are trying to determine
which to use to support Internet mail.

I have been told that PMDF is the best for use with VMS Mail.
Has anyone compared Pony Express and PMDF? How easy are these
programs to modify for a different TCP/IP program than the ones
listed in their abstracts. Which is best?  I heard at least one
site has had problems with Pony Express, but I cannot remember
what the problem was.  What problems have you had with these products?

Software Tools Mail seems to be the only one with a MFENET (SDSCNET)
mail relay interface. However Software Tools Mail uses its own
Unix-mail like user agent program. Anybody know what Pony Express
and PMDF plans are for a MFENET type interface, if any?

Here at Berkeley we are in a multi-network environment:
ARPA Internet (TCP/IP - ARPANET, BARRNET, Campus TCP/IP),
UUCP, NJE/RSCS/BERKHASP (BITNET), DECNET (HEPNET),
SDSCNET (MFENET) and a local Berknet (being replace by TCP/IP).
