If you upgrade to UCX 5.0 (from what I hear, you should probably go to 5.0A instead), you should make sure you pick up the latest NETLIB kit (V2.2F) at ftp://ftp.madgoat.com/madgoat/netlib022.zip and install it (you can upgrade NETLIB beforehand if you like). Prior versions of NETLIB do not handle the product name changes that were introduced in UCX 5.0. -Matt -- Matthew Madison | MadGoat Software | PO Box 556, Santa Cruz, CA 95061 USA madison@madgoat.com http://www.madgoat.com ================================================================================ Archive-Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 23:44:53 -0800 Date: Thu, 02 Dec 1999 08:40:28 +0100 To: MX-List@MadGoat.com From: Anders Olsson Reply-To: MX-List@MadGoat.com Subject: RE: Trusted users cannot send mail In-Reply-To: <009E1DC6.7DE366A6.1@MadGoat.Com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable At 07:47 1999-11-29 -0800, you wrote: >>>You need to add the service provider's network to the INSIDE_NETWORK= list, >>>too.

Should not it be "16:12:08 +0100" ?? Don't know the RFC restrictions, but I think I should... Exchange doesn't know about timezone names, so it assumes GMT/UTC. Which explains the one hour difference. >What drives this field in MX ? (we are using MX 4.2). Is there any way to >change that ? If you deliver mails from MX to exchange, MX adds as normal a "received" line with the current date with above string. Problem is, Exchange doesn't know what "MET" is, but it should take the time from the SMTP header line "Date:" and not from the "received" line. So Exchange has a problem (for years now). We workarounded it, by defining MX_TIMEZONE to be "+0100" (or "+0200"). This disables the OpenVMS/DECdts automatic timezone changes and get us back to "stone age". I like Exchange. NOT. Get rid of exchange and use OpenVMS as your mail server (SMTP, IMAP4, POP3 and MAPI with Office Server) ;-) -- Peter "EPLAN" LANGSTOEGER Tel. +43 1 81111-2651 Network and OpenVMS system manager Fax. +43 1 81111-888 FBFV/Information Services E-mail eplan@kapsch.net <<< KAPSCH AG Wagenseilgasse 1 PSImail PSI%(0232)281001141::EPLAN A-1121 VIENNA AUSTRIA "I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist" "VMS is today what Microsoft wants Windows NT V8.0 to be!"

MIMEsweeper is a great tool for eliminating SPAM and just about any other unwanted Email. It isn't itself an anti-virus tool, but it can use an anti-virus tool to help it eliminate unwanted Email. It must run on Windows NT, however, so unless you buy an NT box to put between the Internet and your VMS system (on the gateway, for example, or on a machine between the gateway and everything else), it won't fit your plans.
