[Info-vax] HP OpenVMS TCPIP SMTP gives error after change of node name

[RobertsonEricW]

All,

I went through the node rename items described at http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/589
(original node name of IQDEV1, new node name of DEMO1) and ended up
with everything working as expected except for the TCP/IP SMTP
service. The situation seems a little schizophrenic because the TCPIP
configuration seems to recognize it is now operating on the node with
the new name, but when you attempt to start the service it issues an
error and attempts to use a queue name with the old node name. Anyone
got any ideas on why this might be? What follows is what I think is
necessary to know. But if some other information would be useful, let
me know and I will happily provide it.

Thanks in advance for any wisdom,

Eric
