I'm trying to install MX V3 on a new Vax 4000/200 running VMS 5.4-3 and
CMU V6.4. I don't seem to be able to get any smtp messages to transfer
in or out of this system. I have been running an older version of MX
on VMS 5.3 on a 750 with no problem. Can anyone give me a clue where
I should be looking? SMTP log file follows:

I am the sysmgr and installed MX on my system.  I'm new at the MX game.  I
think I have read all the docs and configured everything as it should be but
MX does not seem to be doing anything for me.  I have a number of messages in
the queue that are not being delivered.  Does somebody have any insight into

I have the following configuration:

               serial        DECnet
	PC LAN  ----  uVAXII  ----  VAX 6410
    UUPC/Extended     DECUS uucp    MX 3.1

I have a mailing list set up on the 6410 (adam).  I send mail from the PC LAN
to subscribe to the mailing list.  The mail appears to reach adam but I am
not subscribed to the mailing list.

I can subscribe to the list from the uVAXII or from the 6410 with no problem.
I can send regular mail to/from the PC LAN and the 6410 with no problem.

I can post messages to the mailing list from the PC LAN and they get echoed
to the list members with no problem.


Any idea what might be going on?  Any pointers on where to look for help?
Thanks much!

Hullo,

	Ok, a combination of an MX record in the namserver and
	an entry defining "kenyon.edu" as local did the trick.
	Mail to user@kenyon.edu now works.  Thanks everyone.

	Now, the question... ;-)

	At some point in the future I'd like to make *outgoing*
	mail come from user@kenyon.edu.  

	Difficult?  I am guessing that the logical MX_NODE_NAME
	needs to be changed.  If so, do I just edit MX_LOGICALS.DAT?
	The manual warns against editing this file.

	Thanks,

I had one similar trouble with MX, look for generate messages do it.

%MAIL-E-NOMSG, Message number 007E829A
%STR-F-ILLSTRCLA, illegal string class
%STR-F-ILLSTRCLA, illegal string class.

I was thinking that it was related with an unacepted configuration of Cmu-tek
but it was not. Actually, it was related with foreign mail protocol. The
solution that worked was change the SCSNODE parameter (with reboot, of course).

I was working with MX version 1.2. It's possibly not working for you but you
can try this and after you tell me what happened.

I don't remember if this has come up before, but has anyone got a solution
that will avoid space characters being dropped from the ends of lines?

I suspect it's more of an RMS problem than it is an MX problem, but thought

The only way to solve this problem seems to be, to reboot since the

Well, most mailers will think your trailing-spaces are not needed (they
usually aren't!) and will remove them for efficency.

If you're transferring files from VMS to VMS, the best solution is VMS_SHARE
available from all over the place.  This will encode your file so it won't
be "corrupted" by a mailer, and will semi-automatically unpack the file
at the destination.  Its available from several servers on the Internet.

JNET has a better solution for transferring files between sites running Jnet,
but it only runs on VMS machines on BITNET.

If you're trying to get the file from a VMS machine to a non-VMS machine
while preserving trailing blanks, I think UUENCODE/UUDECODE is about the only
solution.

UUencode is fine if you know that your file won't have to pass through any
EBCDIC-using nodes (e.g. BITNET).  When I was using BITNET several years
ago, uuencode was useless because there was no standard mapping between
ASCII and EBCDIC for certain characters used by uuencode.  If you can find
XXencode somewhere, it's a better bet.  C source code for XXencode and
-decode is available from a number of sources.

You're telling the list to put the archives in the directory
 MX_ROOT:[MLF.FILE_SERVERS.VMM_GSID_FORUM]
and the file server that it's root directory is
 $1$DIA0:[MX.MLF.FILE_SERVERS.VMM_GSID_FORUM.]
(I assume MX_ROOT is defined to  $1$DIA0:[MX.]) so here's the catch:

The file server is looking for the file
 MX_ROOT:[MLF.FILE_SERVERS.VMM_GSID_FORUM.VMM_GSID_FORUM]VMM_GSID_FORUM.*
and you have defined your archive to reside in
 MX_ROOT:[MLF.FILE_SERVERS.VMM_GSID_FORUM]VMM_GSID_FORUM.*
The file server is going to look for packages in subdirectories of the file
server's root directory, with package_name as the name of the subdirectory
and package_name as the file name of the package (using extensions to
discriminate between files within a package).

Either (a) create the extra directory level or (b) redefine the root of the
file server to get it to look where you have defined the archives to exist.
Use case (a) if you have packages other than the archives you wish them to
have access to; use case (b) if you have packages you truly wish to
restrict to the list membership.

If this isn't clear enough, let me know and I'll try again; it's really a
pretty simple and straightforward problem, but one new users often come up
against.

 6-APR-1992 10:19:55.32   All done with this entry.

I've had at least on problem with RESET/ALL where I actually had to shutdown MX
and restart it to get changes to MCP to "take".  I haven't tried that yet, in
which case this may be a bug in RESET, not in local delivery.

The hexify/dehexify programs are available from Columbia University
(watsun.cc.columbia.edu) and are used by them to make VMS executables
of Kermit obtainable (watsun is the grandaddy Kermit archive).

While I may be mistaken, I believe that hexify is too VMS-oriented to
be used as a general-purpose solution. Some versions use 32-bit
packing, they encode VMS file attributes, etc. Seems that uuencode
is really the best choice - it comes on a flavor for just about
anything (built into Unix plus PC, Mac, VMS versions, etc etc).

Okay, I have a relatively specific question here.

Without going into the whys of the thing, I have would like to be able
to receive mail of the form:

a)	smith%bigvax.decnet@agvax2.ag.ohio-state.edu

Where 'smith' is the username, 'bigvax' is the name of a DECnet node on
our local DECnet network, and 'agvax2.ag.ohio-state.edu' is the
Internet host name of my site.  The mail, once received here, would
actually get sent to:

b)	bigvax::smith

Which was all know is a nice, valid, DECnet address.

Does anyone have any inspiration on how I would handle making a SET
PATH in MCP that would help me route such a beast in this fashion?

Failing that, is there someone knowledgeable in VAX C who'd like to
help me re-write part of the PATCH_FROM_LINE routine in Larry Hughes'
IUPOP3 POPmail server?  <grin>  That's the thing that's creating a) as
the "return address" of a mail message sent by b) and retrieved using
IUPOP3 and a POPmail client.

Thanks in advance, of course.  And beers after a solution is found. :-)

A few weeks ago I wrote asking for directions to VMS_Share.
Thank you to all of you who responded.

My quest this time is this. VMS_share does exactly what it says it
does, however, I want my MX fileserver to be able to send packages across
the net to any computer platform and, unless I am mistaken, VMS_share
works only with VMS. (please correct me if I am wrong)

So can anyone suggest a file packaging program, and its whereabouts, that
makes neat packages and does not require VMS to unpack the packages?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I am a new MX user.  When I send mail to a user on a remote node from
VMS mail, adding a Carbon Copy (CC) to a user on that same remote
node, i.e., CC: mx%"username@remote_node", I get a very strange, but
dangerous thing happen.  MX seems to go into a loop. The mail does not
get delivered and the number of messages in the queue increases by the
second.  I monitor the queue using FLQU.  All the new entries in the
queue are created by the latter operation. Why ? The status of each entry
is first INP and then FIN, then, another entry is added, and so on.
What am I doing that is causing this to happen ?  Any help on this
issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
