VMS Help TCPIP Services, SMTP, Multiple Recipients, Examples  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The following examples show some different methods of using
    distribution lists.

    1. This example sends mail to users whose names are on the local
       OpenVMS distribution list AGENCIES.DIS. The distribution list
       file is displayed in this example. The MAIL$INTERNET_MODE
       logical name is not set, so by default unqualified Internet
       addresses would be sent over DECnet; therefore, the AUDUBON@NY
       address is included with the SMTP% prefix and quotation marks.

       $ TYPE AGENCIES.DIS

       !
       ! This is an OpenVMS distribution file named AGENCIES.DIS.
       !
       SMTP%"audubon@ny"
       WILLIAMS@BELTWAY.ORG
       WILDLIFE@DALLAS.ORG
       jmuir@19.8.7.6
       SEC@GP.INTER8.ORG
       BATES::SCOPE
       !
       $ MAIL
       MAIL> SEND
       To:     @AGENCIES.DIS

    2. This example sends mail to users whose names are on the
       local SMTP distribution list SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP]NATL_
       INTEREST.DIS. The distribution list file is displayed in this
       example.

       $ TYPE NATL_INTEREST.DIS

       green@19.8.7.6
       wlf@19.7.6.5
       arlo@19.4.3.2
       free::monicaL
       wendell@biolo.ne.edu
       $ MAIL
       MAIL> SEND
       To:    natl_interest@main_office.org

    3. This example sends mail to the users on SMTP distribution list
       FINANCE_CENTERS.DIS, which is maintained on remote mail server
       host HOLBROOK.

       $ TYPE FINANCE_CENTERS.DIS

       ny_accts@23.9.7.4
       sf_stocks@23.7.11.2
       dallas_pfs@23.1.5.1
       denver_accts@holbrook
       $ MAIL
       MAIL> SEND
       To:     finance_centers@holbrook
