Hi all,
I'm trying to figure me how can I configure sendmail to be able to send
mails to/from OpenVMS/DU systems (mostly phase V without DEC DNS). I read
several readme and notes, but it still not working as expected. So let's
tell what I already have.
1. I'm able to send a mail from OpenVMS to DU using the syntax system::user,
where the system ist the DU node on which mailbus/sendmail ist running, and
user is a local user or one registrered in aliases. Using this I can see
that the reply address is called user_at_node.dnet. Everything fine so far
(except that I don't anderstand where ist dnet name coming from).
2. Now I'd like to reply from the DU side. For this I created a new
sendmail.cf by adding the following in the M4 file:
define(`MAIL11_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/sbin/mail11v3')dnl
define(`DECNET_RELAY', `gdc200')dnl
MAILER(mail11)dnl
I also added the following session control application entry:
ncl> sh sess control appli mail11 all
...
Identifiers
Name = mail11
...
Characteristics
Addresses =
{
number=27
}
Incoming Proxy = True
Node Synonym = True
Image Name = /usr/sbin/mail11dv3
User Name = "root"
Data Abstraction = Message
Accept Mode = Deferred
Programming Interface = Phase IV
Maximum Instances = 0
Allow DECnet Internet Gateway Access = False
...
Then I tried to reply using the address OpenVMS-User_at_OpenVMS-node.decnet
(.decnet seems to be the default DECnet domain name). This don't work for
me.
I also tried to add more specifications to deliver using the following rules
in M4 file, to have the reply domain name same as originator:
# Handle DECnet mail addressed as user_at_node.dnet
R$+<_at_$+.dnet> $# mail11 $_at_ $2 $: $1
# Handle DECnet mail addressed as node::user
R$+::$+ $# mail11 $_at_ $1 $: $2
# this is for futur
# mail to ALL-IN-1 gateway on gdc028
R$*<_at_$+.allin1> $# mail11 $_at_ gdc028 $: mrgate::a1::$2::$1
None of the above is working.
Has some one an idee what I'm missing? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
