  Hello,


       I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions
  relating to MX as this product is a new one on me.

  I can send mail from VAX - SUN and vice-versa using MX
  I can set incomming mail to VAX to forward to any SUN workstation

  Q. What will MX offer me in terms of facilities over and above the above
     mentioned ?. Will it allow me to use SMTP over X25

     i.e MX%"SYSTEM@UK.AC....ETC"

     I really need to send mail from SUN route through the VAX to the
     outside world. Does MX offer this routing capability ?

  Q. I am unclear when running the configuration program when configuring
     for using MX over X25 what is the exact requirement in terms of ROUTER
     node spec and REMOTE user spec. I think this is where I am going wrong
     because I get unknown user and unknown node error messages when sending
     mail using MX. (would it be possible to have a look at an example CONFIG
     file) ?




     Many thanks


      Tony Sunman
