I don't have access to a GT.M system, so I can't really help you with the specifics here, but a first step is to have a listener set up on port 25 to accept incoming messages. Under VMS, this is done with TCP/IP services (formerly UCX). Services under VMS are functionally very much like Unix/Linux daemons managed by inetd or xinetd. Maybe somerone else can help you with the details, but when a connection is accepted on port 25, inetd should invoke GT.M to run the MUMPS routine that actually implements the receiving SMTP.
As far as sending goes, the most up to date versions of Mailman are DNS aware (looking for MX records) but, of course, use TCP for DNS queries because MUMPS provides no mechanism for using UDP. The more traditional approach is to place domains to which you might wish to send mail in your DOMAIN file along with an approipriate relay domain. You should still do this, if only as an optimization. Remember, though, the domains need not be fully qualified. You can think of the DOMAIN file as playing basically the same role as MX records in DNS. --- Nick James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greg, > To be more precise my question is (are): > > 1. when i send mail from for eg. yahoo to a user on > mailman, can the user receive the mail on their > mailman inbox? as far as i have understood, this is > possible? > So how do i configure mailman or OpenVistA on the > whole, so as to accomplish this. > > 2. how can i send mail from mailman to yahoo? > > thanks > Nick! > --- Greg Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Are you talking about forwsarding messages to > > Mailman, orf are you > > talking about using Mailman as a POP or IMAP client? > > I don't think the > > latter is possible (Mailman isn't a client providing > > remote access to > > other servers), but forwarding mail to Mailman is no > > different from > > forwarding to any other address, so I guess I don't > > understand the > > problem. > > > > --- Nick James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hi > > > It would be really helpful if the MailMan messages > > > could be forwarded (automatically or manually, as > > > specified by the user). > > > Is there any way of sending or receiving messages > > from > > > yahoo, etc., into MailMan? > > > Nick > > > > > > --- Floyd Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Nick: > > > > > > > > Could you clarify what you mean by "integrated"? > > Do > > > > you want to forward > > > > MailMan-received mail messages to an external > > > > Internet-based e-mail account, > > > > or are your needs a little more complicated? > > The > > > > forwarding capacity is > > > > already built into the system. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep > > like > > > > Grandpa did. > > > > Not screaming like the passengers in his car. > > > > > > > > Floyd Dennis > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > > > > > > On 2/9/05 11:58 PM, "Greg Woodhouse" > > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Mailman uses SMTP for network mail.
