	I never try to remember, just look at the board.

	Have the handles up, top (chip,) side of the board toward you. Have
	the fingers pointing down. For a 6-wide board the 6 separate finger
	sections at the bottom are F thru A (going left>right.)
	For a 4-wide board they are F thru C.

	Look at Section C, the right-most 2 plated fingers. Those plug into
	CA1 and CB1 on the unibus, which is the NPG connection.

	If the board just has a jumper between the 2, (or nothing,) then the
	jumper is not to be removed.

	If the board has traces going to and from those 2 fingers, then you
	have to cut the jumper on the backplane.

I got these errors when I installed MX3.1C on a new computer.  I quit getting
them after a while.  The only explanation I have for them going away is that
they were related to some system parameter and they went away after I ran
AUTOGEN with feedback several times.

Assuming I have the following configuration:

  node INTNET   (the INTERNET link with domain name
                 cortex.prospect.com)

     path "hq.cortex.prospect.com" DECNET_SMTP/route=CVMAIL
      ... some other path routings....
     path * SMTP


  node CVMAIL   (a node on the local network that
                 is known internally by the
                 name hq.cortex.prospect.com)

     path "hq.cortex.prospect.com" LOCAL
      ... some other path routings....
     path * DECNET_SMTP/route=INTNET

Everything works fine internally, but how does an outside user
send mail to a user such as "user@hq.cortex.prospect.com" when
the hq.cortex.prospect.com domain is unknown outside of the
company network?

Do I need some rewrite rules somewhere to accomplish this?

Derek,

Thanks for pointing this out!  I must admit I had assumed that the header

Under normal circumstances, cancelling a message in VMS Mail should result
in a zero-length queue entry with status = CANCELLED.  A zero-length entry
with status = IN-PROGRESS probably means that message entry was interrupted
in a somewhat more violent nature (like the process was deleted or the
system crashed).

Is there a way for MX to notify the author of an outbound mail message when it
is retrying the delivery of that message?  If a message isn't immediately
deliverable and MX requeues it for retry, I'd like to have MX let the original
sender know that the message couldn't be sent at that time, but is queued for
retry.  I couldn't find any references to this in the docs, so I anticipate it's
not an inherent feature.  However, perhaps there is a way to do it with the SITE
agent.  Any suggestions (germaine to this topic)?

We have found it very useful in our environment.  Our world here is all
Unix
except for the Administration systems which run on VMS (you have to be sure
that some things work when you want them to -:).  Using the patch
eliminates
the confusion users might have had with addresses.  We have used it over a
year now with no problems.  We just had a VMS 5.5-1 upgrade, and I applied
the patch to the new MAILSHR image.  It still works just fine.

I can send you a copy of the patch (if you have not already received
several dozen).
