72.0. "SCREEN MAIL ???" by SUOSW4::MOOG (ute_moog at suo) Tue Feb 12 1991 16:16

    Hallo MRMEMO-Users,
    
    at BOSCH a problem /question arose concerning SCREEN MAIL (I'm not sure
    about the spelling and who produces it). It is a product that makes it 
    possible to communicate with external MEMO users using SNA as transport.
    The exact thing we are trying to do is :
    
    - send a mail from ALL-IN-1 via MRMEMO to BOSCH MEMO on the IBM side
    - the IBM side then should transport this mail to MEMO at Volkswagen
    
    It works fine for "real" MEMO users.
    The mail disappears in MEMO's belly for DEC users using MRMEMO.
    The MEMO people told me, that there is no special acces or flag needed
    to use SCREEN MAIL.
    
    The addressing syntax is as follows:
    SM.DEVWAGG.user
    
    where DEVWAGG is the DGN of MEMO at Volkswagen.
    
    Does anybody know details about the product or why it can't be used
    when sending with MRMEMO ???
    
    
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Ute

72.1	MRMEMO is not to blame (I think)	STKOFF::SPERSSON	Pas de Probleme	`Tue Feb 12 1991 17:40`	21
	Ute, There is nothing in MRMEMO that I know of that should cause any problems. I performed a test using our simulator with your address format (ABC.DEF.GHI) and the message came through correctly. Just to make sure that MRMEMO is not causing the problem, could you tell which MRMEMO version you're running and whether you use any kind of DDS validation or address translation? Then I could perform the same test using your configuration. I have never seen nor heard of SCREEN MAIL (ie I seem to recognize the name but I have never put it in connection with MEMO Gateway capacities). If SCREEN MAIL is some kind of 3rd party software, then maybe you should try and find out whether they can cope with address formats other than DGA.DGN regards, Stefan
72.2	only a suggestion	MUDIS3::RROSENBERGER	Rainer Rosenberger @MFR, PZ-SOGY	`Wed Feb 13 1991 09:28`	14
	Hi Ute, may be there is a misunderstanding. It seems that you are able to send from BOSCH to VW and the MEMO users can receive the message whereas VW ALL-IN-1 users don't receive the message. The transport is as follows: MR <--> MR/MEMO <--> MEMO <--> screen mail <--> MEMO <--> MR/MEMO <--> MR If this is correct then you must address the VW ALL-IN-1 users with a DGN different from the DGN of the MEMO users, i.e. somethging like SM.DEC.user (ask the VW people for the prefix of MR/MEMO).

72.3	DGN has to be registered	SUOSW4::MOOG	ute_moog at suo	`Wed May 15 1991 14:54`	8
	Hallo, the question solved after some talking to IBM people (at BOSCH). For SCREEN MAIL all participating Distribution Groups have to be registered. Our distribution group was not known to SCREEN MAIL. Thanks Ute
72.4	SCREEN MAIL	KETJE::VANHOOSTE	Guide to Shadowland	`Fri Jun 21 1991 19:16`	8
	Perhaps a bit late, but SCREEN MAIL is actually a very cut down version of DISOSS and uses SNADS. So you could have reached it via the MR/S gateway also. SCREENMAIL is offered BY IBM on their own network as mail for companies. Something like MCI mail ... Marc VH.
