SET CONFIGURATION SMTP
Note
For changes made with the /SUBSTITUTE_DOMAIN qualifier to take
effect, you must stop and restart SMTP. For more information about
stopping and starting SMTP, refer to the HP TCP/IP Services for
OpenVMS Management manual.
/ZONE[=domain]
/NOZONE[=domain]
Optional. Default: /NOZONE (no gateway searching).
Domain for your environment (probably a superset of your local domain).
Mail sent to another network must be sent to this gateway.
With no value, /ZONE defaults to one level higher than your local domain.
For example, if your local domain is a.b.com , the default value of /ZONE is
b.com because TCP/IP Services has been started; this assumes that the domain is
known.
Mail for delivery outside of your zone is sent to its destination by the alternate
gateway (see the /GATEWAY qualifier).
Examples

3.

4.
TCPIP> SET CONFIGURATION SMTP /GATEWAY=(ALTERNATE:route_gateway)
Specifies the alternate host or domain to which delivery is attempted if mail
cannot be delivered to the primary destination.
5.
TCPIP> SET CONFIGURATION SMTP /GATEWAY=(GENERAL:uucp_gateway)
Specifies a general-purpose gateway to handle non-SMTP mail.
6.
