Help configuring VMS mail with Dynaccess.com

Hello all. I am trying to make some changes in SMTP mail configuration
on my home VMS system. For the past couple of years I have been using
VMS mail for incoming SMTP and a C program I wrote for the outgoing
SMTP. Since VMS mail doesn't have authentication I had to use this
method. Although my ISP doesn't restrict port 25, I never could get
outgoing to work, probably due to the fact that I have a dynamic
address. I used DYNDNS.COM for my incoming and it worked fine.

I am hoping to be able to use VMS mail for both with the Dynaccess.com
service but so far I am having problems. I set up an account at
Dynaccess.com based on recomendations in older posts in COV. I can now
receive email by sending to username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but I
am unable to get the outgoing mail to work.

I reconfigured the domain to be accountname.dynaccess.com and set up a
name in the host table that is accountname.dynaccess.com. I found that
without the machine's own hostname in the local table, all incoming
SMTP mail gets rejected with a "NOSPAMRLY" response.

When I try to send outgoing mail, it gets returned with 550 %TCPIP-E-
SMTP_NOSUCHUSER, no such user, USERNAME@xxxxxxxxxxx

I am guessing that I may have my domain info configured incorrectly
for a dynamic IP address. I am not sure if my computer name should be
part of the domain or not.

Here is my specific config info (without actual names in order to
avoid spam:

VMS: 7.3-1
TCP: 5.4 ECO 2
domain: myaccount.dynaccess.com
gateway address: 192.168.1.1
local host record: myaccount.dynaccess.com, 192.168.1.2
SMTP alternate gateway: dynaccess.com
BIND resolver: myaccount.dynaccess.com

The node name is different from the "myaccount" name.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
