Any idea which file I should set accordingly?
I already tried setting protection on mail.mai and vmsmail_profile.data but to no avail.

$ anal/aud/fu/sin=xxx audit_file
where audit file is found in show audit/all
To enable file access violation auditing :
set aud/aud/ena=(access=(failure:(read,write,execute,delete,control))
(but save your settings based upon show aud/all)

Re: "Privilege Error" on when invoking VMS MAIL Send
perhaps you will fare better if you use
MAIL> send
To: "email@company.com"
As it is, you are using a DCL indirection feature which (tries to) activate a file COMPANY.COM in your current default directory.
Atmittedly, the error message could have been more informative :-)
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: "Privilege Error" on when invoking VMS MAIL Send
DCL within mail ?
I just used the same syntax without quotes. Works fine.

> Works fine.
I do it all the time, too, but for some
pretty old VMS versions, more work was
needed. As usual, more info about the
environment (VMS version, TCPIP (or whatever)
version, ...) might be useful. I can imagine
something like this happening if some obscure
SMTP-related image is over-protected.

Just curious: What were you quoting?

Re: "Privilege Error" on when invoking VMS MAIL Send
We are using this syntax on other cluster nodes without problems.
We are running on OpenVMS 8.3, TCPIP V5.6-9ECO2.
I tried adding READALL privilege to the VMS account and I can run the same syntax (no quotes) without problem.
Which file is MAIL trying to open?

Re: "Privilege Error" on when invoking VMS MAIL Send
in my version (5.3) :
tcpip$service.dat
tcpip$configuration.dat
tcpip$host.dat
and a temp file I will not quote (in login directory)

Re: "Privilege Error" on when invoking VMS MAIL Send
Great help. Right away I found which file it has no access to by using "set watch". It's TCPIP$CONFIGURATION.DAT.
Thank you Wim and to the rest who responded to my query.

Re: "Privilege Error" on when invoking VMS MAIL Send
@ doesn't have an unexpected side-effect inside MAIL for the same reason you can't perform ' ampersand substitution at this same juncture within MAIL or inside ftp or other such; it's not DCL that's reading and processing the input. It's (in this case) MAIL doing that. And if it's not DCL, there's no DCL processing.
