[HECnet] SMTP <-> MAIL11 Gateway

[Tony Blews]

D'oh!
As for the second part, does it mean that the queue manager isn't running on my machine, or the distant one, as local mail seem to work fine.

Hi, I've just tried this and got this error mailed back to me:
Bad address -- <"tardis::tony">
Error --
       %MAIL-E-LOGLINK, error creating network link to node TARDIS
       -SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHNODE, remote node is unknown
  
And mailing from the VMS box gives me this:
  
MAIL> mail
To:         legato::smtp%tonyblews at gmail.com
%JBC-E-JOBQUEDIS, system job queue manager is not running
  
This is probably my fault, so what am I doin wrong?

   I   ve set up an Internet SMTP to HECnet MAIL11 gateway.     To send mail from the Internet to a HECnet node, address it to
  
                               user at node.decnet.org
  
where    user    is the VMS (or RSX or RSTS or whatever) user name and    node    is the HECnet node name.     If you   re logged into a HECnet machine you can send Internet mail by addressing it to
  
                               LEGATO::SMTP%user at whereever.com
  
Note that LEGATO will store mail sent in either direction for up two days if the target node is down at the time     that means your HECnet machine doesn   t have to be online 24x7 in order to receive mail.
  
IMPORTANT - There is absolutely no SPAM filtering, so please be very careful about where or how you publish these addresses unless you want your VMS mailbox filled up with thousands of SPAMs
