SMTP
I have a query.
How do I change mail address(from) while sending out mails from VMS servers?
e.g
From: bill.smith@xxx.com
needs to be changed to
From: abc@xxx.com
Server is a VAX :
Digital TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS VAX Version V4.1 - ECO 9
on a VAX 4000-400 running OpenVMS V7.2
Thanks

Re: SMTP
Don't know about UCX 4.1, ...
But with VAX/VMS 7.2 & TCP/IP 5.1, I defined the logical name TCPIP$SMTP_FROM to be "me@wherever.com".

Kris (aka Qkcl)

Re: SMTP
This is all I find :
UCX$SMTP_REWRITE_MTS_FROM
If you have most or all of your users' mail forwarded to ALL-IN-1, use this logical name to instruct the symbiont to parse the user name out of the complex MTS address and append the local host name instead.
I think you can change the from in the mail to localhost@xx.com. Nothing more.
Fwiw

Re: SMTP
TCPIP$SMTP_PROHIBIT_USER_HEADERS
( UCX$SMTP_PROHIBIT_USER_HEADERS )
is defined: if yes the SMTP_FROM is not used,
and You need to be or become system manager to change it.

E.g. 4.2 ? Never used it. Don't know if it can do it.

Re: SMTP
It seems that the "outbound alias" was introduced (thru an ECO) in TCP/IP V5.0, and I think never backported to UCX 4.2.
Here is a quote from some old release notes:
ECO B 13-JAN-2000 Alpha and VAX
Images:
TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE V5.0A-1C
TCPIP$SMTP_PARSESHR.EXE V5.0A-1C (VAX only)
TCPIP$SMTP_PARSESHR_TV.EXE V5.0A-1C (Alpha only)
TCPIP$SMTP_RECEIVER.EXE V5.0A-1C
TCPIP$SMTP_SFF.EXE V5.0A-1C
TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT.EXE V5.0A-1C
TCPIP$MSG.EXE V5.0A-1B
Problem:
Enhancement to SMTP to provide support for 'Outbound Alias'.
Solution:
Add support for a user defined logical TCPIP$SMTP_FROM which will
be used for the text of the From: and the Return-Path:
headers. Also added support for a system manager logical
TCPIP$SMTP_PROHIBIT_USER_HEADERS which will cause the
TCPIP$SMTP_FROM logical to be ignored effectively no-oping it.

Re: SMTP
Only these logicals are present :
"MAIL$PROTOCOL_SMTP" = "UCX$SMTP_MAILSHR"
"UCX$SMTP_ENABLE" = ".1.."

Re: SMTP
But rereading the original question: where, first of all, is "From: bill.smith@xxx.com" generated ?
By default UCX is using the VMS user name in the From address, but bill.smith is not a legal VMS username. I would rather expect a requirement to rewrite username abc to bill.smith . Or was it just a virtual example, Fox ?

Re: SMTP
I think your best solution will be to upgrade TCPIP.
The TCPIP version that is released by default with 7,2 (and installed be default if upgrading TO 7,2) _IS_ (DEC - that is how ols 7,2 IS) TCPIP services 5.0. (but be sure to instal the ECO straight away - native 5,0 is just too buggy ).
Maybe check the realease notes of the various TCP 5.x releases, and see what "new" features are desirable enough.
It is perhaps asking a bit too much that more modern functionality would work nicely on VERY OLD software ..
hth
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: SMTP
I just mentioned Bill.Smith as an example.
Upgrading TCPIP at this point is not possible.

Re: SMTP
define/char corrected 1
set que *SMTP*/char=CORRECTED
and write a dcl (or whatever) program that :
1) show que/fu and take the file that was submitted
2) open the file and take the file name out of it
3) open that file and scan for "From:" and corrected what is written there.
4) set entry x/char=CORRECTED
and you'll have mail.
I only tested 3) and it works (on 5.1)
fwiw

Re: SMTP
Our mailserver requires that the from exists in its db. If not : drop mail.
