- OS/2 port by Claudio Fahey
- claudio@uclink.berkeley.edu
-
-
- This package contains two REXX programs to integrate the POP client
- (POPCLIENT.EXE) with LaMail and Ultimedia Mail/2 Server. This
- client only receives mail from a POP server. It does not send mail
- through a POP server. To send mail, you can still use sendmail or
- if you're using LaMail, you can use LamPOP. LamPOP can be
- downloaded by FTP from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in /os2/2_x/network as
- lampop11.zip.
-
- To install this POP client, copy POPCLIENT.EXE, POPCLID.CMD, and
- LAMAILER.CMD to a directory in your path. Then modify the top part
- of POPCLID.CMD to reflect your setup (see POPCLID.CMD for details).
- You also need the emx run-time DLLs. You can get these from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu:/os2/2_x/unix/emx08h/emxrt.zip. Of course, you
- need IBM TCP/IP 2.0.
-
- To have the POP client run every few minutes, run POPCLID.CMD. You
- may also start POPCLIENT.EXE from a cron-type program.
-
- popclient defaults to POP3 mode.
-
- ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:
-
- USER The user's login name on the local workstation. This is
- used as the default login name on the remote workstation.
- Defaults to "root."
-
- MDA_PATH Mail delivery agent program path. Defaults to "UMAILER.EXE."
-
- MDA_ARGS Mail delivery agent command line arguments. All occurances
- of "$u" are replaced by the receipients name. Defaults to
- "-dest . -to $u" which delivers mail to the current
- directory.
-
- OTHER:
-
- The original popclient code can be downloaded by FTP from
- info2.rus.uni-stuttgart.de in /pub/comm/mail/pop/unix as
- popclient-2.21.tar.gz.
-
- For modifications to the source code, see PATCHES.OS2.
-
- Feel free to send comments, bug reports, or suggestions related to
- this OS/2 port to me.
