- OVERVIEW
-
-
- ForwardIT! is an MHS mail agent for automatically forwarding MHS
- messages, and is run on the central hub into which remote MHS
- connections are made.
-
- ForwardIT! is designed to enhance remote communications
- capabilities with virtually any MHS compatible electronic mail
- system, including ExpressIT! The purpose of ForwardIT! is to
- eliminate a shortcoming within MHS when using ExpressIT! Remote
- or other MHS compatible remote software, on a standalone PC or
- laptop, to access electronic mail from a distant location.
-
- MHS does not allow remote users to dial into the network to pick
- up their messages. Mail addressed to the recipients network
- address can only be picked up at the network. In order to send
- mail directly to the remote address, the sender would need to
- know the remote MHS address. This same mail, once it is
- retrieved by the laptop, would not be available at the network
- unless manually sent to both the remote and network addresses.
-
- In a typical MHS mail configuration, users with remote MHS
- connections will have two separate MHS mail addresses. They
- would have an office address and remote address. With
- ForwardIT!, the recipient leaves a forwarding address at the
- office, and the messages will be forwarded or copied to their
- remote address. This forwarding address can be any valid MHS
- address, including extended addresses used by MHS gateway
- products.
-
- ForwardIT! is compatible with most MHS compliant E-mail
- packages.
-
-
-
-
- COMPONENTS
-
-
- ForwardIT! consists of two components:
-
- 1) The ForwardIT! MHS gateway itself (4WARDIT.EXE)
-
- 2) The program used for MHS based E-mail packages to set
- Forward options (4WARD.EXE).
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
-
- To install:
-
- 1.) Copy the contents of the entire root directory of the
- floppy disk marked ForwardIT! to your MHS\EXE directory on your
- network file server.
-
- 2.) Take your MHS server off-line.
-
- 3.) If this is a 30-day trial version, execute 4W30DAY.EXE
- to intialize the 30-day trial period.
- If this is a purchased copy, execute 4WINSTAL.EXE to initialize
- ForwardIT! to your file server.
-
- 4.) Execute the program 4WARDIT.EXE. This will install the
- ForwardIT! gateway. The gateway is named -PM4WARD. If you
- have any problems installing the gateway, create the -PM4WARD
- gateway manually, and copy 4WARDIT.EXE to the gateway's PUBLIC
- directory (MHS\MAIL\GATES\-PM4WARD\PUBLIC) and rename the program
- INPOST.EXE.
-
- 5.) Restart your MHS server.
-
-
- USING FORWARDIT!
-
-
- Your MHS server will periodically run the ForwardIT! gateway
- process in the same manner as other gateways you currently
- operate.
-
- To Set up Forward options:
-
- 1.) If you are using ExpressIT! as your E-mail system, bring up
- the main menu and press <F4>.
- ExpressIT! will notify you if you do not have ForwardIT! installed.
-
- 2.) If you are using a compatible E-mail package, run the
- program 4WARD.EXE. A screen will appear identical to that seen
- in ExpressIT!
-
- The following selections will be displayed:
-
- Forward messages?
-
- Yes - Mail will be forwarded and/or copied.
-
- No - Mail will NOT be forwarded.
-
-
- Keep local copy after forwarding?
-
- Yes - Keeps a copy of the message that has been forwarded,
- rather than discarding the original.
-
- No - Forwards the message to the remote location, but
- discards the original.
-
-
- Forward even when user is logged in locally?
-
- Yes - Messages will always be forwarded, even if the
- recipient is currently logged into the local area network.
-
- No - Forwards messages ONLY if the recipient is NOT
- currently logged into the local area network. When you log out
- of the network, ForwardIT! starts forwarding your mail. When
- you login, ForwardIT! automatically stops forwarding.
-
-
- Forward/copy messages to:
-
- This tells ForwardIT! where you want your mail forwarded. The
- network administrator must define within MHS the "host" name of
- the remote system which messages are to be forwarded before the
- forwarded address may be entered in this field.
-
- If Yes is selected under the prompt forward messages?, then a
- forwarding address MUST be specified.
-
- Multiple addresses can be specified by comma delimiting the
- addresses in this field.
-
- What if an operator forgot to tell ForwardIT! to forward mail?
-
- Do the following if this situation occurs:
-
- 1.) Login as supervisor
-
- 2.) Run the program 4WARD.EXE
-
- 3.) When loaded, the program will automatically recognize that
- you are supervisor and ask for the name of the user whose
- settings you want to alter for them.
-
-
- Set Return Address for Replies:
-
- This is an additional ForwardIT! option that is exclusive to
- ExpressIT! users.
-
- When a message is sent, the sender's MHS address is included in
- the message to notify the recipient of its origin. This
- provides the recipient with a return address for replies. The
- Set Return Address option allows you to override this default
- and specify the return address where replies will be sent.
-
- Assuming you are out of the office, the only way to ensure you
- will be able to read mail from anywhere is to have replies sent
- to you at work. For example, if your remote address were "USER
- @ LAPTOP1," setting the Return Address for replies to "USER @
- OFFICE" will have all replies sent back to your office network
- rather than your laptop. Then you may use ForwardIT! to
- determine whether the message should be forwarded from the
- office to your remote address.

- NETWORK UTILITIES
- -----------------
-
- * I-Queue! - Simplifies network printing and print queue management
- in the Novell NetWare environment. From within a small memory
- resident pop-up (0 to 2-1/2KB), I-Queue! allows users to easily
- change NetWare print queues and modify "capture" parameters.
- I-Queue! is compatible with Novell's PRINTCON/PRINTDEF and adds
- global PRINTCON support for Novell's own utilities.
- Queue management capabilities include: delete/reorder print jobs,
- move/copy jobs between queues, and hold/delayed printing.
- NOW INCLUDES A WINDOWS VERSION!
-
- * I-Queue! Server - Turn printers attached to any network workstation
- into shared network printers. Two to four times faster than RPRINTER,

- leading to data loss, LockIT! locks out keyboard input until you
- enter your NetWare password...even allowing unattended processes
- to continue executing.
-
- * CastAway! - A better NetWare broadcast message trap. Get NetWare
- message notification (e.g., SEND) without your PC locking up until
- you press CTRL-ENTER! Get notified of new messages while in graphics
- based applications! All in 0 to 1-1/2KB of conventional memory!
-

-
- MHS GATEWAYS AND UTILITIES
- --------------------------
-
- * MHS Scheduler - An MHS mail agent that provides greater flexibility
- in configuring when MHS will connect to a host. On a host-by-host
- basis, the MHS administrator can configure different frequencies of
- forced connections based on different times of the day, with
- separate weekday, weekend, and holiday scheduling possible.
- MHS gateways and internetwork connections can also be scheduled.
- The companion RunIT! utility simplifies the creation of batch file
- gateways...now you can run your tape backup system on your MHS
- server.
-
- * MHS Librarian! - An MHS Gateway that allows users to request
- information to be forwarded to them via MHS. Requests are
- made by placing a keyword in the "SUBJECT" field of the message
- that you address to the library. A list of files may be
- requested by sending a message with the keyword of INDEX. The
- system Admin can also configure MHS Librarian so that selected
- users can request files or directories other than those that
- appear in the index. Security is provided by a password program
- that generates unique daily passwords, a fixed password, or you
- can create your own password utility.
-
- MHS Librarian! also supports "discussion lists", similar to
- the "list server" concept on the internet.
-
- * PageIT! - An MHS gateway connecting MHS-based electronic mail
- systems to full text alphanumeric pagers. Once configured,
- sending messages to an alphanumeric pager is as simple as
- sending a message from your favorite MHS application.
-
- * ForwardIT! - An MHS mail agent for automatically forwarding
- MHS based electronic mail messages. ForwardIT! can forward
- (or copy) messages addressed to an MHS address to an alternate
- address.
-
- ForwardIT! is most useful in the MHS remote e-mail environment.
- By remote, we refer to field workers or business travelers who
- operate ExpressIT! Remote, or other MHS compatible remote
- software, on a PC or laptop to access their electronic mail
- from a distant location. Examples could include a salesperson
- between sales calls, a business traveler in a hotel room,
- or work-at-home scenarios.
-
- Without ForwardIT!, when mail is sent to a recipient's office
- address, MHS does not allow for a remote user to dial into the
- network and retrieve mail waiting for their office address. Mail
- addressed to this office address can only be picked up at the
- office.
-
- In order to send a message to the user's MHS remote, the sender
- must assume responsibility for sending a copy of the message to
- the remote MHS address.
-
- With ForwardIT!, the user leaves a forwarding address at the
- office, and while they're out, all messages will be forwarded,
- or copied, to their forwarding address, giving users transparent
- access to their electronic mail while away from the office.
-
- This forwarding address can be any valid MHS address, including
- addresses via MHS gateways.
-
- * MhsQ! - An MHS gateway interface to NetWare print queues.
- Messages can be sent via MHS to a NetWare print queue.
- This capability can be useful for MHS remote sites and/or
- MHS enabled applications for generating printed output
- and/or reports.
-
- MhsQ! can also redirect print queues on one file server
- to a remote print queue on another file server via MHS.
-
- * ExpressIT! MHS Directory Assistant - A directory services
- gateway that automatically creates and updates user routes
- in a multi-host workgroup environment. Add a user at one
- host within the workgroup, and the user route will automatically
- be created at all other hosts within the workgroup. Add a
- new host to your workgroup, and the host and user lists will
- automatically be added to other hosts within the workgroup.
- (Directory Assistant is bundled with ExpressIT! but is also
- available separately.)
-
- * MHSNotify! - A TSR which runs on the MHS mail server only, and
- automatically notifies recipients of new electronic mail
- received from remote MHS sites, or across internetwork
- connections. An excellent alternative to MHSALERT for
- DaVinci e-mail users! (MHSNotify! is bundled with ExpressIT!)
