I don't have any information to offer concerning an MX -> Message Router
gateway.  But as I indicated in a previous posted note, I am very
interested in a proper implementation.  By that, I mean one that:

   - does not require any non-standard workarounds
   - behaves in an analagous way to MRGATE for SMTP to Message Router
     and equally Message Router clients (e.g. Mailworks for Windows)
     to SMTP
   - uses analagous addressing to that used for MRGATE
     (e.g.  Mailworks client to SMTP:  user@mxgate@host.domain,
     or SMTP to Message Router on same system:  mxgate::"am::user")

Having said the above, however, the primary need is for a Message Router
to SMTP (i.e. to MX) gateway that would allow Message Router clients to
send outgoing SMTP mail.  Incoming SMTP mail can always be routed into
Message Router by setting the appropriate forwarding address within VMSmail.
So altho it would be nice to have a bi-directional gateway, only the
one direction is critical.
