Subject: VMS Pine and .pinerc

I've sucsessfully compiled VMS Pine and Pico on our VAX and am anxious to
try them out, but I've hit one snag. For some reason, our machine doesn't
support SMTP. I get "Error connecting to mail server" when I try to send.

My domain-server vaiable is set to "cnsvax.uwec.edu"
I cannoy seem to set the PINE_MAIL_PROTOCOL variable for the life of me.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks.

You mean SMTP-SERVER, right? Try TELNET/PORT=25 CNSVAX.UWEC.EDU and see whether
it works ok or you get some error message there.

To what value do you try to set it?

Please answer directly to me and we'll continue it off-line.
