... smtp%
is provided by Process Software's Multinet SMTP client to add SMTP
capability
to VMS MAIL.

I have Multinet SMTP and when I send a message externally I use
SMTP%"bill at myemail.net"
I looked within MULTINET and was able to edit the gateway rules but I did
not see how to define a reply-to from the config menu. I want the replies
to emails generated by the VMS Mail server go through an external email
server as a way to control SMTP hijacking.
for example, if I log in as SYSTEM and send a message to someone it shows
up as
SYSTEM at MICROVAX3100.VINTAGECOMPUTER.NET (the subdomain I have set for
the server)
I have the system blocking mail unless it comes from a single address (not
listed here), which then forwards to the SYSTEM account. The MULTINET
server is set to only accept SMTP from the one domain I have set up for
this purpose.
So when someone replies to an email from the server I don't want the reply
to come from the actual sender or it will bounce. I want it to
automatically reply-to the alias domain I have in place. Works great
except that a person needs to know to change the reply-to address to the
alias.
You showed me this:
$ MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVERS
SERVER-CONFIG> DISABLE SMTP
SERVER-CONFIG> RESTART
...is there a SERVER-CONFIG that defines reply-to?
