SFF (Send From File) Utility
Michael D. Ober
utility. The change I'm looking for is to have it use a "smart host" for
forwarding emails. The default behavior is that if you have an email going
to multiple domains, SFF generates an email for each domain. What I'd like
to have it do is generate a single email with all the headers so that the
"smart host" can split the message to multiple domains. For example:
RCPT TO:<<us...@domain1.com>> (Outlook Express wouldn't allow
single brackets)
RCPT TO:<<us...@domain2.com>>
generates two emails, one to each domain. What I'd like it to do is send a
single email and allow the smart host (in this case, an Exchange server with
message journaling running) do the split into multiple messages. Splitting
into multiple messages causes additional work and storage requirements on
the Exchange Server.
Thanks,
Mike Ober.

Mike, I would recomment using MIME.EXE instead. That way, you can
control the email yourself.
This is an extract of our Email script, which allows HTML formatted,
mixed-content, etc. Hopefully you should be able to decipher it, but
let me know if not.

I have already modified the sendmail script from openvms.org to generate a
"single" message per call, regardless of the number of recipients. What I
need now is a way to get the message from VMS to Exchange as a single
message so that our Exchange servers can journal the message properly. SFF
appears to send a message per recipient domain even though we're using the
alternate gateway in the SMTP configuration.

If you stop the SMTP queues, and then run your message against SFF, does
it generate multiple jobs into the queue or just one job ?
Michael D. Ober
news:0005d3ef$0$2562$c3e...@news.astraweb.com...
IF,
Good catch. Only a single message was queued. Apparently the split is
occurring in either our Exchange server or in the SMTP handler in VMS.

You could easily trace the port to your SMTP server to see how VMS is
sending the message.
I take it sending all recipients in a BCC isn't an option to overcome
this?

The symbiont logfile will now contain the actual dialogue between itself
and remoce SMTP server, and you will clearly see the RCPT TO: commands
and will know if the VMS server is sending a copy of message to
multiple recipients in the same domain or whether it is sending one copy
per recipient.
Rich Jordan
Actually you should monitor your SMTP queues and make sure they're all
stopped before restarting mail. Although a 30 second wait maybe
enough, I've been bitten a couple of times by a system with 4 SMTP
queues where the last queue would not stop for nearly 75 seconds.
Michael D. Ober
I'll try that this evening after everyone is off the system. I did try a
manual session where I telnetted to port 25 of the Exchange server and put
in multiple domains in the RCPT TO: fields and only a single message was
sent (and journelled).

%TCPIP-I-SMTP_SYMBSTOP, symbiont is stopped
There is a message generated by VMS for each recipient mail domain. What I
need to do is have VMS send the entire message to all mail domains in the
address list in a single session. When I have tested multiple recipients in
a single domain, they are sent in a single message.

All on one line, or separate RCPT TO: lines?
(I don't think I ever tried, though.)

You can only put a single address per RCPT TO:. You can enter multiple RCPT
TO lines. Take a look at the script and logs I received. It appears that
it's the SMPT symbiont that is splitting the message.
Mike.
JF Mezei
> To: m...@wakeassoc.com,obe...@alum.mit.edu,obe...@sprintmail.com
Your test is not very good since all 3 recipients are on different SMTP
servers.
But you are right. If you have defined apollo.wakeassoc as a gateway
SMTP server (and it seems to be working since the message to all 3
recipients was sent to apollo), one would expect the message to go to
apollo once and let apollo distribute the copy 3 times to each different
domain.
You should try:
To: us...@domain1.com, us...@domain1.com, us...@hp.com
as well as:
To: us...@domain1.com, us...@domain1.com, us...@domain1.com
And see if it sends the message twice or 3 times in the first case, and
in second case, if it does send only one copy of message out.
if you send a message to an invalid domain name, do you get a
non-delivery notification from jaguar or from apollo ?
Michael D. Ober
From the Exchange Message/Envelope Journal, I can see that when there are
multiple recipients in a domain, they all receive the message via a single
conversation. I can put a test together to demonstrate all to the same
domain and two to one domain with one to a different domain this morning.
I'll also post the SMTP configuration with those results this evening.
Mike.
JF Mezei

This is normal. But you need to realise that it is technically
impossible to deliver to different domains with the same SMTP
conversation. TCPIP does not allow a single connection to connect to 2
hosts at the same time.
Michael D. Ober
Understood - all SMTP conversations from the VMS system are going to a
single Exchange server, which then handles the routing and DNS lookups for
the recipient domains. We have a requirement to centrally journal all
emails that go in and out of the company and the easiest way to do this in
an Exchange environment is to route all the mail through the Exchange
servers and use message journaling.

IF,
You may have hit on the real issue here. Even though all the SMTP messages
are routing via a single Exchange Server, because of the underlying
assumption that different domains will require different connections, the
VMS SMTP Symbiont is splitting the messages before opening the connections.
In the Windows world, there is an option to use a "smart host", sending the
entire message with multiple domains to another SMTP server for relay, and
not route messages to separate domains individually. Is there an option to
do this with VMS?
Thanks for your assistance,
Mike Ober.

I would have to reread the doc on the gateway setup (which I have never
used). But I wouldn't be surprised if the VMS code just overrrides the
destination IP for the TCPIP connection (connecting to the gateway
instead of the real host).
Technically, I am not sure the the VMS software is "wrong", but it would
be nicer if it just forwarded the message to the gateway without really
parsing it.
