5 MX V4.2, SOFTWARE, E-mail message exchanging software          [20-JUN-1994]     D    Message Exchange (MX) is electronic mail software for OpenVMS VAXI    systems running VMS V5.0 or later, including OpenVMS V6.0, and OpenVMS F    AXP systems running OpenVMS AXP V1.0 or later. It supports InternetE    mail over CMU-OpenVMS TCP/IP, VMS/ULTRIX Connection, TGV MultiNet, D    Process Software's TCPware, and Wollongong's WIN/TCP and PathWay;F    BITNET mail over Wingra's Jnet; and UUCP mail over DECUS UUCP. AlsoF    included is support for SMTP message transfers over DECnet and X.25E    (using VAX P.S.I) and L-Soft International's LISTSERV software. MX C    uses VMS Mail for local message entry and delivery, and includes 9    support for mailing lists and mail-based file servers.          Features:     B      * Users send and receive messages using VMS MAIL. Support forD        "signature" files is included in the VMS MAIL interface. FullE        support for automatic forwarding with the VMS MAIL SET FORWARD C        command is included. User-defined alias databases for e-mail E        addresses is supported. Binary files may be sent through MX to 5        other VMS sites running MX, PMDF, or MultiNet.          H      * Provides SMTP (RFC 821) message transfers over CMU-OpenVMS TCP/IPA        (aka CMU-Tek TCP/IP), DEC TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (aka A        VMS/ULTRIX Connection), TGV MultiNet, TCPware from Process B        Software, and PathWay and WIN/TCP from Wollongong. IncludesH        support for Internet domain system MX records. Also supports SMTP/        over DECnet and X.25 (using VAX P.S.I.).          F      * Provides BSMTP message transfers with other BITNET mailers overH        Jnet, compatible with the CU Mailer package for VM systems. FullyC        supports BITNET-Internet gateways for non-Internet-connected G        systems. When combined with the SMTP support, can also provide a '        BITNET/Internet gateway service.          G      * Interfaces with DECUS UUCP to provide a single mail interface to B        all mail protocols. Can also gateway between UUCP and otherH        networks. (Not supported under OpenVMS AXP yet because DECUS UUCP'        has not been ported to AXP yet.)          D      * Provides a mailing list processor with automatic subscriptionE        requests. Mailing lists can be configured to restrict postings H        only to subscribers or list owners, and to restrict the automaticE        subscription handling. Internet mailing list conventions and a 1        subset of LISTSERV commands are supported.          I      * Supports one or more file servers that can be set up by the system D        manager to handle automatic distribution of packages of filesD        using mail as the distribution medium. Large transfers can beD        deferred to off-hours, and daily per-user, per-system, and/or6        per-server limits can be placed on each server.         H      * Provides interfaces for a site-provided custom mail transport and*        custom address processing routines.         I      * Provides its own message queueing subsystem.
