All I can say is that there's a documented path for doing this - there's

protocol" or something like that.   You need to write a library with
the appropriate entry points (this is where the documentation comes in
handy), call it FIDO_MAILSHR, and install it.   If you do the right
stuff, VMSMAIL will recognize the FIDO%"..." address and call your
library.   Couldn't be easier :-)
