6.1 MAIL keeps saying I have new messages, but I don't. What do I do?



@if you see the %MAIL-W-NONEWMAIL, no new messages errorFreported when MAIL indicates you have messages, then the NEWMAIL counthas become skewed from reality.

@The count of new mail messages is kept separately from your mailCfolder, and is stored in VMSMAIL_PROFILE.DATA. It sometimes happensCthat this count differs from what is stored in your mail folder. IfFthis arises, invoke MAIL and repeatedly enter the READ/NEW command (orGpress the keypad hyphen key on an LK-compatible keyboard) until you seeEno new mail messages. Then enter the command one more time. This willresynchronize the counters.

;If you are operating in a cluster and find your mail countsFinconsistent across cluster members, your customer is likely missing aEdefinition of the VMSMAIL_PROFILE logical name---and is probably alsoGmissing definitions of other logical names associated with other sharedFfiles---or has one or more inconsistent definitions of this and likelyof other logical names.

FFor details on the configuration data files that must be shared withinHa cluster, please see SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.TEMPLATE on V7.2 and later.i

6.3 How can I block SMTP mail relay spam?



FUse the anti-spam capabilities present in the TCP/IP Services V5.1 andlater SMTP servers.

Use a firewall.

COn earlier TCP/IP Services releases, some simple DCL can reportedlyFprevent relay SMTP spam. Use the UCX command SHOW SERVICE SMTP/FULL toEfind the directory containing the UCX$SMTP_RECV_STARTUP.COM file, andinsert the following DCL:

 

"
