You might want to check out the PMDF mail system for VMS.  It provides
store-and-forward message handling for the standard VMS mail utility.
You could set up PMDF to deliver the messages when the link is up.
They will be queued while the link is down.  PMDF also provides lots
of other network mail support.  PMDF is available for the cost of
distribution (currently $50) from:

	Ned Freed
	PMDF Project
	Harvey Mudd College
	Claremont, CA 91711
	(714) 621-8006
	NED@YMIR.BITNET

All sources are provided.  PMDF is currently in use at several hundred
sites, including many on this mailing list.
