Subject: Re: No Relay patch for MX 4.2 on Vax VMS 5.5-2 ?

For any vax users out there that need the no relay patch for MX 4.2,
here are the things I had to change from the install instructions

So here are some of the problems I found that you might want to fix in
the install instructions, etc.

1. One has to Bliss compile netlibsrcdef.r32 to get .l32 and the mms
   file doesn't do it in [netlib]
2. netlibdef.h has to be in sys$library
3. XSMTP_OUT gives file not found Sys$library:PSILIB
4. The SERVER.OPT file in [smtp] must include
SYS$SHARE:VAXCRTL.EXE/share
5. The CC/VAXC must be changed to CC, that switch is not recognized by
my
   C compiler and the default is VAXC.
6. ALIAS must be removed from LOAD_RELAY.C everywhere, not recognized by
   Bliss 4.7 on vax.
7. NETLIB symbols in call in LOAD_RELAY.C must be put in variables as
   unsigned ints and use &variable in the call instead of the symbol.
   There are two such symbols in the call to netlib_socket:
    int af_inet = NETLIB_K_AF_INET;
    .... netlib_socket(...., &af_inet,....)
8. I think the smtp_server machine must in RELAY.DAT enable itself
   or localhost, because when I enabled one other machine and disable
   0.0.0.0 with mask 0.0.0.0, nothing was accepted whatsoever, even
   mail directed to the very machine itself.  This is not clear from the
   brief instructions in the readme file.  When I enabled the subnet
   I am on, then all good mail came through.  It would be nice to know
   just what the minimum RELAY.DAT file is to receive good honest
non-relayed
   mail.

My system: Vax VMS 5.5-1, Bliss 4.7, Netlib 2.0I, MX 4.2, Vax C 3.1
Multinet 3.1 Rev A, Vax 4000-500.

Many thanks to Hunter Goatley for his help in solving some of the
problems.  Incidentally, the patch does work as advertised.
