Is there anyway to set smtp to send mail from openvms through a separate mail server running IMAP
It only needs to send not receive - and can attachments be sent. I am very interested to see if this can be done. Thanks

Yes of course VMS can send mail anywhere on the internet. It just depends on the TCP/IP stack installed. Before going into details and setup commands, please tell us which TCP/IP stack Your system has installed ?
There is a MIME utility (see HELP MIME) to compose MIME-encoded mail messages.
Recently there was a discussion in the HP VMS ITRC forum
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/familyhome.do?familyId=288on ways to use MIME mail.

Then use @TCPIP$CONFIG - Client components - SMTP to setup and configure.
I can't check now if this setup allows already to enter Your mail server. Eventually use afterwards TCPIP SET CONFIGURATION SMTP
(it has built in HELP !), to configure /GATEWAY,/ZONE and others.
Don't forget to SET CONFIG SMTP/OPTION=NORELAYThen to send mail, use the TO: address in the form
SMTP%"user@domain".
To use SMTP% as default without SMT% prefix,
DEFINE/SYSTEM MAIL$INTERNET_MODE "SMTP"
DEFINE/SYSTEM MAIL$INTERNET_TRANSPORT "SMTP"
