Peter,
Thanks I think this is what I need, just disable smtp within MULTINET. As
I said in my OP I prefer a VMS or MULTINET solution free of modern hardware
if possible, now that I know what is possible. I was curious to learn
what others did back in the day.
I have a script I run to clear the queue, but that's a pain and it lets
some relaying through.
