  23. Have you looked at IDA sendmail?  There is an excellent example of how to do
  24. this in there.  I run it on our Ultrix 4.0 machine as a mail gateway between
  25. our VAXes running DECnet and the Internet.  In case you're interested, here's
  26. the revelant section:

  28. R$+!.$+            $1^.$2            fix mangled Xerox dList
  29. ->RIN%$+        leps5::$1        A f*cking hack
  30. R$+::$B::$+        $B::$2            Shorten decnet route thru us
  31. R$-::$-            $1::$2?$(@$&Q$2$&Q$)    Is this decnet quoted 822?
  32. R$-::$-?""$+@$+""    @$1.dnet:$3@$4        Convert quoted to source route.
  33. R$-::$-?$+        $1::$2            Else restore
  34. R$+::$+            $1.dnet!$2        Convert DECNET to bang path.
  35. R$+!:$+@$+        $1!$3!$2        scrambled source route
  36. R$+!:$+            $1!$2            mangled VAX/VMS address
  37.  
  38. The line marked with a arrow is my own addition.
  39.  
  40. However, there is no guarantee this will work without IDA sendmail (I know
  41. the $( $) won't work, the $&Q probably won't work eiher).  I highly recommond
  42. getting IDA; it's a _lot_ better than Ultrix's sendmail.
