The Question is: Halo I want to reroute my e-mail message to a relay mail server. Our Alpha is behind a firewall so no e-mail's can go to the outside world. We use the smtp of open VMS 6.2 and I want to use a Unix computer as the relay server. Where do I put the relay server's address on the Alpha ? Thank you The Answer is : Without considerably more information on your local network configuration, it is difficult to answer this question -- this question is likely best handled by the folks familiar with your local network configuration, with your firewall, and your local security requirements -- your local network support group. Several IP packages are available for OpenVMS, and each has multiple versions -- which versions and ECOs will effect the answer. Why is the firewall blocking SMTP mail from one node, and not from another? (Is there a reason for this need to relay? Or is there a reason why the system can not send mail out directly?) In MAIL, one can use the SET FORWARD command. Depending on the context, you may need to quote the string: MAIL> SET FORWARD "user@node.mumble" Older versions of IP packages -- those not updated for OpenVMS V6.2 and later -- may need to use: MAIL> SET FORWARD "SMTP%user@node.mumble"
