Well, it *is* possible to attach a file to VMS Mail using an undocumented
hook.  You could "starbust" the incoming MIME message into pieces that have
the appropriate file attached.  When the user receives the message, he is
prompted to extract the file.

I'd probably not lose any sleep on this until the RFC becomes a recommended
standard.

Sorry for asking a frequently-asked question, but I never thought I'd be
saddled with setting up MX on a system running UCX.  Here's the router log file:

The problem, of course, is in the lines:

12-AUG-1992 19:39:31.10 %PROCESS,    ... for system@IMG.UMD.EDU expanded -
	IMG.UMD.EDU to img

OK.  How do I get the domain expander to not translate IMG.UMD.EDU to img?  I
don't have access to the UCX manuals (I'm in California, and I'm installing MX
on a machine in Maryland, and the local computing center doesn't have the UCX
documentation on CDROM).  So I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me either:
	1)  How to get MX not to run the domain expander; or better
	2)  How to reconfigure UCX's hosts database so that it uses the FQDN
	    as the primary name of the system.
Please give explicit instructions if you're answering question 2.  Thanks.

Again, apologies for not having paid attention on any of the myriad of other
occasions when this problem came up.

    Previous to VMS V5, you could set your mail forwarding to a list
of names, e.g.,

	MAIL> SET FORWARD "USER1,USER2"

The trick was to use a leading _underscore_, like so:

	MAIL> SET FORW "NODE1::FAIRFIELD,_FAIRFIELD"

Then when mail delivered a message to FAIRFIELD on this node, one copy
would get forwarded to NODE1::FAIRFIELD, the other to _FAIRFIELD on the
local node.  The trick is that mail to _FAIRFIELD does NOT get forwarded.
(The effect of the underscore to suppress mail forwarding still works
under V5.5, only the _list_ of names in a forwarding address has been 
disallowed.)

    Depending on your mail interface, you may still be able to get away 
with this.  We are using PMDF and the syntax IN% within VMS MAIL to get 
to PMDF's mail interface (mostly for Internet access).  PMDF hands off
local address nicely to VMS MAIL, and allows a _list_ of names wihtin
a single IN%"addr1,addr2" To: address.  Thus you can do:

	MAIL> SET FORW "IN%""FAIRFIELD@NODE1,_FAIRFIELD"""

and get the pre-V5 effect!  You'd need to experiment with other mail
transports, like SMTP and MX, to see whether the above will work with
them.

    Do use with caution: there is potential for creating mail deleivery
loops...

    You can do it with PMDF.

I seem to remember reading about an undocumented feature of VMS MAIL
that allowed you to set a forwarding address as usual, but that would
also allow a copy of the incoming mail msg to be left in the original
mailbox AS WELL AS one being sent to the forwarding address.

If anyone can help be here I would greatly appreciate it.

If they go to a newsgroup, everyone with the appropriate access to the group
could handle them.  The customer won't know the difference.  You can do stuff
like followup/reply which will follow up for the people within your
organization looking at the problems yet give the customer the answer.

You could have people specify a return address when they respond to the note so
that any mail coming back from the customer in response to the note will come
back to the group instead of the person who may actually be working the call.

I haven't actually done it but I do have a customer service background so I
understand what goes on in the background.

ANU-NEWS is available via ftp from sao.aarnet.edu.au.  The 6.1 beta release
implements the followup/reply feature.

Our primary mailer is All-in-1-mail.  However, we also have
VMSMail running.  The VMSMail is used primarily for on-site
mail.  

I'd like to use the DELIVER utility with A1Mail, but I've found
that pretty much impossible.  It does work with VMSMail.

I've tried 'forwarding' my A1Mail to VMSMail by setting my
forward address in A1Mail to a DECNet address.  This works,
but, most of the mail is lost, and the mail that does happen
to be delivered takes hours longer.  Example:  I sent myself
mail to test this out, and it took 2 hours for it to arrive
in VMSmail.

Is there an easy way (or anyway period) to 'forward' A1mail
to VMSMail and not have it get lost somewhere?  Or, am what

Or, is what I'm trying to do pretty much impractical?

Greetings.  We're using PMDF V3.2 on a VMS 5.4-2 VAXstation 3100 model 76.  We
seem to be having problems with mail delivery.  We run Multinet V3.0 as our
TCP/IP and Jnet V3.5.  The problems may or may not have come upon us suddenly.

I noticed yesterday that I had very few network mail messages, considering all
the mailing lists I'm on.  Also, one of our users complained that he had not
received Internet mail that he sent to himself from an outside site.  At that
time the VAX had been up for about 153 days, so I figured that this was no big
deal.  I.e., s**t happens, very large buffers eventually fill up, etc., etc.
So I rebooted the VAX, expecting to clear up the problem.  The reboot didn't
help.

I have been receiving and sending Internet, Bitnet, and HEPnet mail on a daily
basis from and to sites all over the world, so I had no reason to expect
problems with PMDF.  But I noticed that PMDF_ROOT:[QUEUE.L] had over 1700 files
in it, so I executed the command:

                        $ @pmdf_root:[exe]master L

This caused me to get hundreds of mail messages, some dated as long ago as May
of this year.  Apparently a large number of messages also went out over the net.

I continued to test, and messages did not get delivered unless I executed
MASTER.COM by hand.  I then did:

                        $ @sys$startup:pmdf_submit_jobs

This caused messages to be processed, but only at the default time interval of
four hours.  I now have this job run automatically every half hour, by setting
the logical name PMDF_POST_INTERVAL to 00:30:00.  This is tolerable, I guess,
but I'm pretty sure I didn't do that before.

We seem to be on very shaky ground with a system which we count on to be
reliable, and I don't know why (maybe we're not in Kansas any more?).  Can
anybody help with this.  The only change in the system files that I can recall
that I made lately was to put the following at the start of SYLOGIN.COM:

$       VERIFY = 'F$VERIFY(0)
$       MODE = F$MODE ()
$       IF (MODE .NES. "INTERACTIVE") .AND. (MODE .NES. "BATCH") THEN EXIT

Previously I had not turned off verify, and I had tested only for MODE equal to
NETWORK for the exit.  The above was added to allow users to rlogin to the VAX
from our Ultrix systems.

Thanks.

Ned,
	I am interested in creating a "closed" listserver, meaning that
only designated people are allowed to SUBCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE others from
the list.  Does the code in PMDF4.1-10 allow this type of operation?
I'm hoping that the "authorization" functions you've talked about will
allow this.

Forgive me if I missed the posting of the details of the authorization
process, but if the complete documentation is not yet available, I
would very much appreciate a summary of how I could set up the scenario
mentioned above.

I have been experimenting with the listserver software provided with

When I issue the command:   SUB TEST-L somebodyelse@cgnet.com
and "somebodyelse" is not the userid that I'm sending the request from,
the Welcome message gets automatically sent TO MY ACCOUNT and
NOT TO SOMEBODYELSE.  The subcription confirmation, however, does
get sent to both addresses.

Is this the intended functionality?

You're taking this up with the wrong people.  The people to disucess this
with are the Ghostscript people.  Sure, I could make PMDF-FAX specific
changes to Ghostscript, but this is one area I absolutely refuse to mess with
unless it is absolutely necessary to (Ghostscript's initialization files).

Theres a discussion running in VAXnotes (in german{!}) on our local DECUS Vax
where a Deccie has just said that:

"... there is no difference between VMS (XX-001-zzz) and  Open VMS (XX-005-zzz)
except in the unbundling of licences for some of the normally included layered
products.

"Further, "at the present time", the H-Kits are the same - the System
looks for both PAKs"

I'd say that they are the same, and the answer ought to be yes!

This is the correct fix (posted to info-pmdf back in June or thereabouts).

When trying to instal PMDF 4.1-10 I get

%MOUNT-F-NOTLABELMT, tape is not labeled
%VMSINSTAL-F-UNEXPECTED, Installation terminated due to unexpected event.

I cannot mount it with /ov=id either.

????????

Did I get a blank tape?
