We are running Cayman's GatorMail-M, which is (to my knowledge) the only
MS Mail to SMTP gateway available.  The product is newly released and
has a few bugs which Cayman is working on.  We are using it mainly to
talk to our VAX, which is running Matt Madison's MX Mailer (SMTP <-> VAXmail)
on top of CMU/TEK TCP-IP.  

There are also several direct MS Mail <-> VAXmail solutions.  One is from
Pacer and the other from Alisa.  I have not evaluated these.  We decided
that the SMTP solution was more generic and thus more pratical then having
specific gateways to each of our other mail environments.

A site license of GatorMail-M is $2000.  If you want more details about
this product please contact me via private e-mail.
