<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've successfully started SMTP using option 2
(clients) in tcpip$config.com, and I can send and receive internet emails (up to
a point). I can send successfully to two of my three domains (paulhardy.net,
hardy.demon.co.uk), but if I try and send to my current primary email at
verizon.net (pghardy at ...), then I get an error 550 saying SMTP command error.
Any ideas? I wonder if it is related to the fact that when originally
configuring the verizon.net account in Outlook Express I had to enable the
toggle for "account requires authentication", and provide username and password.
Is there a VMS equivalent?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Incoming mail from verizon.net and from

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the way I ran the TCPIP IVP (option 7, 1) and
that runs fine.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm in precisely the same situation, even down to
Verizon as the ISP, and use of dyndns.org!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got the TCP/IP from the hobbyist kit working
to the extent that I can browse external web sites from the simulated VAX with
Lynx or Netscape, and I can telnet in from outside, but I haven't yet tried to
set up SMTP mail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The laptop hosting SIMH is connected via
wireless to a D-Link DI524 wireless router, and I had to set up 'virtual
servers' on it to redirect external ports across its firewall. It has an
Ethernet connection to a Westell Wirespeed DSL model which links to Verizon.
What is your exact configuration?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I might have a go at setting up SMTP tomorrow,
but let me know if you make progress.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hiya,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'm one of those unfortunate
souls who doesn't have a domain name of their own. I'm operating
behind a home router, which is in turn hooked somehow to Verizon, and so it
goes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The problem I am having is
with getting a TCP/IP package to work. I've tried using the one
supplied on the VMS hobbyist kit, and though it configures just fine it
proves troublesome in areas which even the emulated OpenBSD system did
right. The main problem centers around my nonexistent domain
name. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I use dyndns.org to
essentially give me a fake DNS record in most domain name servers.
Doesn't hold up well under reverse DNS lookup, but still. When I try
to configure TCP/IP from the hobbyist kit, everything appears to work fine
except for the IVP. That returns the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>%system-f-logname, no logical name match.
I don't have any idea what logical name its looking for. The SMTP
server, similarly, refuses to accept incoming messages for seemingly the
same reason.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> As I said, OpenBSD, also
running on the same emulated VAX, with the same Delqa emulation and such
configured, works. I don't know why. I'm not a particularly
experienced OpenVMS user. Thought that switching to something like
Multinet might help the situation, but Process Software's FTP site seems
conveniently down...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help at all on this situation would be
greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Zack.</FONT></DIV>
