Configuring SMTP gateway, default route?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I will send emails from my vms-host to another domain via smtp over tcp port 25.
How must I configure my vms/tcpip ?
Where must I insert the address from the smtp-relay ?
 
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Port 25 is the SMTP port.  If you wish to send mail via SMTP and IP,
  you can use the existing OpenVMS MAIL utility and the SMTP client and
  SMTP server that is provided by the TCP/IP Services package (and by
  third-party IP stacks).
 
  If you wish to set the default IP route or the default gateway in
  TCP/IP Services, please see associated section in the OpenVMS FAQ.
 
  To see how to configure SMTP zones and gateways and alternate gateways,
  also please see the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management
  manual.  Also see the SET CONFIGURATION SMTP and SHOW CONFIGURATION
  SMTP commands in the TCP/IP Services utility, or see the TCPIP$CONFIG
  utility.  (All are referenced in the available documentation.)
 
  From the on-line help available within the TCPIP utility:
 
           SET CONFIGURATION [NO]SMTP  ...
                                       [ /GATEWAY=option=host ]
                                       ...
                                       [ /SUBSTITUTE_DOMAIN=options ]
                                       [ /[NO]ZONE[=domain] ]
 
  The TCP/IP Services documentation is available at the Compaq OpenVMS
  website, in the same area of the website as the OpenVMS documentation.
