- README for V-MailServer 1.22
- ----------------------------
-
- V-MailServer is supplied with an installation/setup program, called
- VINSTALL.EXE. VINSTALL will ask you to fill in information that will be
- used in creating the initial configuration files.
-
-
- Below is a sample of the VINSTALL screen looks like:
-

-
- The directory to install V-MailServer to is completely up to you. A good
- place for it is under the user directory tree somewhere.
-
- The node name is whatever you call your site.
-
- The mail server ID is the name the name you want to access V-MailServer
- as - eg. mail-server, file-request, or ftpmail.
-
- The mail sender ID is the name to place in the Sender: field on outgoing
- mail. This should be different that the mail server ID, to prevent
- bounce loops.
-
- The temporary directory can be a RAM drive, or any other directory you
- wish. V-MailServer uses a few temporary files when processing requests.
- They are created in the temporary directory named here.
-
- The directory for mail executables is where you keep the programs that
- do the actual mail processing for whatever UUCP implementation you use.
- An example for a Waffle site is 'C:\WAFFLE\BIN'.
-
- The three public file areas are used to locate the top-level directory
- of the file-request areas. Three are allowed in case you have files on
- more than one drive. A directory tree is generated based on what is
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- given here, and used to create the SearchTree and ValidPaths files. See
- VMAIL.DOC for more information.
-
- The source directory for V-MailServer files is wherever you have
- unarchived the V-MailServer distribution file into.
-
-
- VINSTALL will create a list of aliases that should be added to the
- ALIASES file. This file is called ALIASES.ADD. A batch file is also
- created to set the VMS environment variable needed by V-MailServer. It's
- called VSET.BAT.
-
-
- The VMS.CFG file contains a line - INDEXFILE. You should ensure
- that the file exists as specified, or change the configuration to
- point to another file. VMAIL will abort if it cannot find the
- INDEXFILE file.
-
-

- this mailing list by sending a message to
