When a user on one node sends VMS MAIL to >a user on the other node, the recipient is NOT notified... (New mail on node >NODE from USER). Anyone know why ? Check the logical MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS. There are different setting it can have to (1) not use DECNET between nodes in a homogeneous cluster,(2) notify both nodes of new mail (homogeneous cluster, usually), and (3) Add a time stamp to the notification that is printed on the screen. This is described in the MAIL utility manual, pages MAIL-14 and MAIL-15. Parameters ---------- 1 Bypasses DECNET between nodes in cluster 2 Notifies recipient of new mail on all nodes in cluster 4 Time stamp in notification message We use: $ define/sys/exec MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS 6 Since we want mail to go through DECnet for some of our other mail hooks.
