I couldn't decide where to post this answer, so I'm cross-posting to
match the original.  Any further discussion should be only on one of
these lists.  IBM-NETS?

I know little about the VM Mailer, so I don't fully understand your
question, but if you are just talking about using your VM system (with
FAL?) as a mail relay (gateway) to your TCP/IP based mail network,
then you can easily do this with UCLA/Mail.  It's a source
distribution, so if it doesn't do what you want, you should be able to
tweak it.  It's cheap enough that I would suggest buying it just to
try it out.  For what you pay for one week of license fee for Emc2,
you can get a permanent site license for UCLA/Mail!  WARNING!  As it
says in the front of the doc, it requires an experienced systems
programmer to install it.  (After it's fully operational, it's a few
minutes a week to maintain.)  So you either pay a vendor for a
product, or you pay a real systems programmer.  I'd rather have the
in-house talent.
