VMS Mail supports multiple transports. Each user may set and view the transport to be used. Setting the transport functions the same as entering that transport name before each email address entered. It is not necessary to set the SMTP transport since VMS mail can detect when that transport is needed and add it automatically. Some third-party mail applications may require that this be set to a specific transport that is supplied with their application.


$ mail

MAIL> set transport smtp%

MAIL> show transport
Your default transport is SMTP%.

MAIL> set notransport

MAIL> exit
