- I don't have any information to offer concerning an MX -> Message Router
- gateway. But as I indicated in a previous posted note, I am very
- interested in a proper implementation. By that, I mean one that:
-
- - does not require any non-standard workarounds
- - behaves in an analagous way to MRGATE for SMTP to Message Router
- and equally Message Router clients (e.g. Mailworks for Windows)
- to SMTP
- - uses analagous addressing to that used for MRGATE
- (e.g. Mailworks client to SMTP: user@mxgate@host.domain,
- or SMTP to Message Router on same system: mxgate::"am::user")
-
- Having said the above, however, the primary need is for a Message Router
- to SMTP (i.e. to MX) gateway that would allow Message Router clients to
- send outgoing SMTP mail. Incoming SMTP mail can always be routed into
- Message Router by setting the appropriate forwarding address within VMSmail.
- So altho it would be nice to have a bi-directional gateway, only the
- one direction is critical.
