If you, like me, have a server that will only accept TLS encyrpted and Authenticated SMTP, you can't send email directly from VISTA. Instead, you need to send it to a relay that will forward your email. I have had pretty good luck with postfix. We will to that part in a moment.

 While you can expose your VISTA system to the outside world, it is better to have email go through your own mail server and then be relayed to VISTA. Either way, the VISTA set-up is the same.
 Set-up a xinetd listener to forward requests on port 25 (or another port, if you are forwarding email to VISTA from a mail server) to a script that sets up GT.M and calls <code>GTMLNX^XMRUCX</code>.
