<We have installed MX3.1C on VMS 5.5-1 .
<The MX processes are running only on our boot node in the LAVC cluster.
<The new mail flag in UAF is set correctly, but the broadcast is sent only
<to the logged in terminals of the corresponding user at the boot node and not
<to this user clusterwide as what is expected like VMS mail. This is very
<annoying, because our users should'nt log in on the boot server of course.

<Is that already a known problem? I'm new in this newsgroup.

<Thanks, Heribert

You need to define the logical MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS to 3. This "Directs MAIL
to set the cluster breakthrough flag when issuing the $BRJTHRU service to
notify the recipient of new mail. This flag is only used in VAXcluster
system and, typically, only in homogeneous VAXclusters (in other word, flag
1 is also set)." Use the qualifiers /system and /exec.

See the discussion in the Mail manual Chapter 9, System Management and Mail,
page 14 for all the options.
