Supress servername in domain name?

[Peter Forsell_1]

Hi
I have a problem. I use UCX 4.2 and the problem is smtp
In core enviroment I have set up the domain name to gfk.stockholm.se.
The mailserver is in domain Stockholm.se
When I send a mail to the mailserver the mailserver rejects the mail as it says it comes from support@gfksr1.gfk.stockholm.se. This is a unknown domail for that server.
Who do I configure UCX so it dont send its server name (gfksr1 is the name on the server) down to the mailserver. The working adress shall be support@gfk.stockholm.se
Any hint?

Peter,

It's been a while since I've used UCX, but in the more recent TCP/IP Services for VMS, you can use the logical name TCPIP$SMTP_FROM to specify the outbound alias. Something like:
DEFINE TCPIP$SMTP_FROM "it_is_me@wherever.i.am"

Alternatively, you can define a substitute domain for SMTP, like:

TCPIP SET CONFIG SMTP/SUBSTITUTE=mydomain.com

I'm not sure that these options are also supported with a fairly old TCP/IP implementation such as UCX 4.2.

Anyhow, you might look in the HELP for UCX for something similar.

Hope this helps,

Kris

It may not be there. I noticed that TCPIP$SMTP_FROM support was added in an ECO kit for V5.0A
