$ tcpip show version

   HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.7 - ECO 5
   on a Digital Personal WorkStation  running OpenVMS V8.4
[...]

The tcpip$smtp.conf looks like:

$ type tcpip$smtp.conf
!TCPIP$SMTP.CONF file created at : Mon Jan 22 02:23:32 2018


!TCPIP SMTP configuration data:

As there is no "Queue-Name" I'm thinking there is something with the mail 
queue not correctly configured.
