-
- INetUtils is freely distributable.
-
- No warranties, express or implied, are offered or are available.
-
- The binaries included in the archive's C directory should be copied
- somewhere in your standard path (such as C: or INet:C/). SMTPd especially
- expects to find SMTPpost somewhere in its path.
-
- IF YOU ARE RUNNING AMITCP: You should copy the binaries from C, deleting
- the .amitcp from the end. You should also "assign inet: amitcp:".
-
- With the exception of SMTPd, all of the binaries are residentable.
-
- SMTPd should be started at boot. It is not executed by INetd. It is an
- active daemon.
-
- Each binary also has a *.debug version. If you have a problem, send the
- output from the debug version to me along with your bug report.
-
- There are a variety of configuration options, which are, in general, based
- on AmigaUUCP. They may be either environment variables, contained in a file
- named "S:UUConfig" or a file named "UULib:Config". They are hunted for in
- that order.
-
- They are:
-
- UULIB Contains the directory name to which UULIB: should
- apply. If not present then "UULib:" is used.
-
- UUNEWS Same for UUNews.
-
- UUSPOOL Same for UUSpool.
-
- LOGFILE The name of the Logfile. Defaults to "INet:Logfile".
-
- NODENAME The first part of the network hostname for this
- computer.
-
- DOMAINNAME The rest of the network hostname for this computer.
- For example, this computer is named "adastra.cvl.va.us".
- The NODENAME is "adastra". The DOMAINNAME is ".cvl.va.us".
-
- NNTPSERVER The full network hostname for the computer where news
- articles can be retrieved and submitted.
-
- ORGNAME The text to be placed on the "Organization:" header for
- ORGANIZATION news articles. One or the other is acceptable.
-
- NNTPUSERID The user id to be used to log into a secure NNTP server.
-
- NNTPPASSWORD The pasword for NNTPUSERID.
-
- SMTPSPOOLDIR Where outgoing SMTP messages should be stored until
- the destination host is reachable. This *may not*
- be the same as UUSpool for AmigaUUCP sites.
-
- SMTPSMARTERHOST A smarter SMTP host which can route SMTP messages if
- we cannot find the destination host.
-
- SMTPMAILDIR Where mail for this host is to be stored (like UUMail
- in AmigaUUCP).
-
- SMTPRMAIL The (optional) program that SMTPd should run to
- file mail.
-
- SMTPPOST The name of SMTPpost for SMTPd to use.
-
- MAILREADYCMD A (optional) command to be executed when SMTPd files
- mail locally.
-
- SMTPROUTE Whether to process locally or pass directly to the
- SmarterHost.
-
- SMTPDELAY How long to wait between scans of SMTPSPOOLDIR.
-
- This is a sample config file:
-
- NodeName adastra
- DomainName .cvl.va.us
- NNTPServer my.NNTP.server.edu
- Organization A Total Lack Thereof
- SMTPSpoolDir UUStuff:SMTPSpoolDir
- SMTPSmarterHost my.SMTP.server.edu
- SMTPMailDir UUMail:
-
- Or they may be set as environment variables:
-
- setenv NodeName adastra
- setenv DomainName .cvl.va.us
- setenv NNTPServer my.NNTP.server.edu
- setenv Organization A Total Lack Thereof
- setenv SMTPSpoolDir UUStuff:SMTPSpoolDir
- setenv SMTPSmarterHost my.SMTP.server.edu
- setenv SMTPMailDir UUMail:
-
-
- NOTE:
- SMTPd does *not* do return-to-sender logic at this time. For
- most things.
-
- You must do "newgroups" on a newsgroup before NNTPXfer will
- transfer it. And you must be consistent with the active file
- names.
-
- The active file format is not guaranteed to be consistent with
- any other package's format.
-
- Aliases support is severely broken -- HOWEVER, if your mail program
- installs a Reply-To header, you'll probably be OK.
-
- See the PROBLEMS file.
