The first system is a DS15 with OpenVMS 7.3-2 and TCP/IP Services 5.4-15 ECO6. Here it is possible to send e-mails to the MS Exchange Server (which has no firewall or other restrictions, the Windows guys told me). I just enabled the SMTP Client component in the TCPIP$CONFIG and that was it...
The second system is a OpenVMS Cluster with two ES40 with OpenVMS 7.3-2 and TCP/IP Services 5.4-15 ECO6. Setup the same way as the DS15. When I am sending a mail with the mail utility there is no error or something else. It looks good, but the mail never shows up on the Exchange Server...
I tried to define logicals as mentioned in the TCP/IP Manuals and using the SMTP% prefix for the e-mail address. The e-mails disappears and goes somehow to the "Data Nirvana". Using different SHOW and ANALYZE commands didn't help.
Does someone have a "How-to" Setup a SMTP Client or Tips & Tricks for me? Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Not able to send SMTP Mails
Can you post
$ tcpip show conf smtp/full
Do you have a gateway defined (general or alternate) ?

SolutionWe are using SMTP Mails as well to send Mails to an Exchange Server. My SMTP Config looks as follows:
$ tcpip sho conf smtp
SMTP Configuration
Options
Initial interval: 0 00:30:00.00 Address_max: 16 EIGHT_BIT
Retry interval: 0 01:00:00.00 Hop_count_max: 16 RELAY
Maximum interval: 3 00:00:00.00 TOP_HEADERS
Timeout Initial Mail Receipt Data Terminate
Send: 5 5 5 3 10
Receive: 5
Alternate gateway: your.exchange.server.here
General gateway: eventually.also.here
Substitute domain: not defined
Zone: not defined
Postmaster: TCPIP$SMTP
Log file: SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP]TCPIP$SMTP_LOGFILE.LOG
Generic queue Queues Participating nodes
TCPIP$SMTP_GDC00Y_00 1 GDC00Y
This works fine for us. We had problems before too, sending mails, because the Exchange Guys can have a list with hosts, which are able to send mails. Maybe your nodes are missing on this list
Hope that helps
Regards
Geni

Re: Not able to send SMTP Mails
$ tcpip show route
$ tcpip show mail
$ tcpip show config smtp
$ tcpip show mx_record
then set up logical names
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$SMTP_LOG_LEVEL 3
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM TCPIP$SMTP_SYMB_TRACE 1
(stop and start smtp to activate)
use telnet on port 25 to test as in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/153119
check reply codes from
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/05/21/smtp-replies.html
examine logs in [TCPIP$SMTP]

Re: Not able to send SMTP Mails
I assume, that you changed the real name of your Exchange server in the output file for security reasons.
I assume that in real you did something like
$ TCPIP SET CONF SMTP/GATE=ALTER=172.16.x.y
or
$ TCPIP SET CONF SMTP/GATE=ALTER=real.dns-name.ofYourExchangeServer
After Changing the SMTP configuration you have to restart SMTP (@sys$startup:tcpip$smtp_shutdown and after @sys$startup:tcpip$smtp_startup)
Does for example the file _$1$DGA1:[SYSCOMMON.SYSMGR]08053013145194_SYSTEM-20200D91.TCPIP_HOST1;1 exists? (It's reported by Opcom). If yes, is the file accessible for the user TCPIP$SMTP

Re: Not able to send SMTP Mails
I owe you some answers.
Unfortunately my problem comes not from the Exchange Server. It works well using the Telnet on port 25...
Defining the SMTP Gateway I used both
once
$ TCPIP SET CONF SMTP/GATE=ALTER=172.16.x.y
and
$ TCPIP SET CONF SMTP/GATE=ALTER=real.dns-name.ofYourExchangeServer
The file _$1$DGA1:[SYSCOMMON.SYSMGR]08053013145194_SYSTEM-20200D91.TCPIP_
HOST1;1
exists with the same file security settings as on the system where it works. It desn't help if I set the permissions or the ownership to the TCPIP$SMTP User...
I noticed that in the TCPIP$SMTP_LOGFILE.LOG something is written about a CF. Further there seems to be an option for CF-Debug which is set to false. (See my last post on the not working system) How can I set the CF-Debug option to true?
Since the system not working is a cluster - do I need to do the new settings on both nodes? So far it didn't help...
Thanks for the tips so far!
