Introduction

MHSSend is a simple utility designed to notify users of MHS
applications of new mail as it arrives to the MHS gateway.
MHSSend can also be used to notify users as they log into
the system of how much unread mail is waiting.

Documentation Audience

This manual is directed to the network administrator or
person assigned to be the MHS administrator of the network.
Knowledge of Novell and MHS is assumed throughout this
documentation and supervisory rights are required for
installation.  If you do not feel you are qualified to
understand and install MHSSend please pass it on to your
associate who is.

Installation

Installation of MHSSend is very simple.
1.Create a new MHS gateway called MHSSend.  Follow the
  instructions detailed in the MHS documentation for
  creating a gateway.  If the name of the user who runs MHS
  is not "MHS" then place the name of that user in the
  gateway commands.

2.Copy the MHSSEND.EXE main program to the gateway
  directory as INPOST.EXE.  When defining a new gateway in
  the previous step, MHS updates the MHS directory
  structure and includes a directory for the gateway.  If
  the gateway name is MHSSEND then execute the DOS command:
  COPY MHSSEND.EXE \MHS\MAIL\GATES\MHSSEND\PUBLIC\INPOST.EXE

3.Copy MHSSEND.EXE to a directory in your path.  A good
  location would be \MHS\EXE.

4.Run SYSCON and add the line #MHSSEND to the system login
  script.  This will notify users logging into the network
  of new mail.  Make certain that the path to MHSSEND.EXE
  is defined prior to this line.

Operation

Once installed, MHSSend will be run each time MHS cycles.
If any new mail is found in any of the user, application
directories, a message will be sent to the user notifying
him/her of new mail.  MHSSend utilizes Novell's built-in
broadcast messaging system to accomplish this.  No
additional drivers or memory is required on the users'
workstations.

When new mail is detected, MHSSend renames the new messages
in such a manner as to keep MHSSend from continuously
notifying the person each time it cycles, unless, of course,
additional new mail arrives.

Including and Excluding Users

By default, all users defined in MHS are eligible for
notification.  If you desire to limit this, two Novell
groups are checked prior to sending the message.

If a user is found in the group MHSEXCLUDE then he/she will
not be notified.  If the group MHSINCLUDE is defined, only
the members of this group will receive new mail messages.
Creating MHSINCLUDE without any users effectively disables
MHSSend since no users will ever be notified.

Registration

MHSSend is not free.  It is being distributed using the
ShareWare concept that allows you to evaluate the product
before purchase.  In it's unregistered form, MHSSend will
only monitor five MHS mailboxes and notify those people of
new mail.  The first five mailboxes are those monitored.
Also, user notification at login time is disabled.

To register MHSSend, complete the form below, and send it in
with a check for $35.00 (U.S.) and you will receive a
passcode that will enable all MHSSend features.  To install
the passcode, simple create a text file called MHSSEND.REG
in your \MHS\EXE directory or any directory on your path
with only one line of information, the passcode.  Each time
MHSSend executes, it will read this file to determine if it
is registered or not.
