INetUtils 1.4
Copyright 1992 - 1994 by Michael B. Smith (mbs@adastra.cvl.va.us).
All Rights Reserved.
This version of INetUtils is freely distributable.
The binaries included in the archive's C directory should be copied
somewhere in your standard path (such as INet:C/ or AmiTCP:bin/). 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. Verify that there is not an "smtp" entry in your copy
of inetd.conf (in INet:DB for AS225, AmiTCP:DB for AmiTCP). SMTPd
requires a few configuration variables. Refer to StartSMTPd for more
information.
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 "INet:S/Config" (or "UULib:Config" on the freeware version). They are
hunted for in that order.
Some of them are:
LIBDIR Takes precedence over UULIB. It is the directory
UULIB name where the Config file may be found, and where
signatures are stored.
For the commercial version, this defaults to INet:S.
For the freeware version, UULib:.
NEWSDIR Takes precedence over UUNEWS. The directory where
UUNEWS news will be stored.
For the commercial version, this defaults to INet:News.
For the freeware version, UUNews:.
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.
ORGANIZATION The text to be placed on the "Organization:" header for
news articles originated on this computer.
NNTPUSERID The user id to be used to log into a secure NNTP server
when posting articles.
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.
HOSTALIASES Defines other names by which you wish your host to be
known.
This is a sample config file:
NodeName adastra
DomainName .cvl.va.us
NNTPServer my.NNTP.server.edu
Organization A Total Lack Thereof
SMTPSpoolDir INet:MailSpool/
SMTPSmarterHost my.SMTP.server.edu
SMTPMailDir INet:Mail/
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 INet:MailSpool/
setenv SMTPSmarterHost my.SMTP.server.edu
setenv SMTPMailDir INet:Mail/
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.
See the PROBLEMS file.
