Digital has a product called the Message Router which is available in
several flavors.  One package is explicitly designed to provide a
store&forward interface for VMS MAIL; other packages provide programmer
interfaces, etc.  By hearsay, I understand that the VMS Mail Message
Router package is easy to install and setup.  I don't know anything
about its performance, reliability, etc. as we do not have this package
at Fermilab (although people complain about lack of s&f in VMS Mail).
I just happen to be aware of the product since I've been trying to get
the complainers to look into the package (to no avail).
