- << ZZNOTIFY >>
-
- -- a free MHS gateway by Scott Wertz.
-
-
-
- ZZNotify is a fairly simple MHS gateway with a fairly simple purpose:
- it notifies users when they have mail messages waiting in their MHS
- mailbox. It's designed so that you can specify how often you wish
- to be reminded of waiting mail; the notification interval can be
- anywhere from 1 to 1440 minutes (a whole day). When that time
- interval has elapsed, ZZNotify goes through the entire list of users
- defined at this host, and uses Novell's broadcast ("Send") messages
- to remind them that they have not read their mail. A typical
- notification looks like "You have 4 mail messages waiting.".
-
- This is version 1.0 of ZZNotify. You are free to use and distribute
- this program as long as you're not making a profit from it. This
- version only notifies users who are logged into the same server as
- your MHS machine. There is also a version 2.0 which has internet
- capability, meaning that it will also notify users on non-routing
- hosts that are serviced by your MHS server running ZZNotify, and
- you can even specify different intervals for each host. It also
- has an "alias" capability which allows you to specify which Novell
- users should be notified of mail for a particular user. This is
- useful if you wish to notify SUPERVISOR whenever ADMIN receives
- mail, or if you use long Novell usernames but your mailboxes are
- limited to eight character names.
-
- Version 2.0 (or higher) costs US $25. See below for ordering
- information.

- INSTALLING ZZNOTIFY

- 1) Start MHS and go to the Directory Manager.
-
- 2) Select "Routes to workgroups, hosts, and gateways"
-
- 3) Select "Add Entry"
-
- 4) Select "Define a gateway"
-
- 5) Enter the following:
-
- Hostname: ZZNotify
- Description: Notify Users of Mail
- Gateway version: 70
- Gateway commands: 60 <== enter your interval in minutes
-
- 6) Copy the INPOST.EXE file into the following directory:
-

- Miscellaneous Notes
- - - - - - - - - - -
- o You can use any hostname you like for this gateway, but "ZZNotify"
- is recommended so that it will run after all host connections are
- completed and incoming mail is delivered.
- o Keep in mind that ZZNotify only runs as often as your MHS host
- cycles, and it can only notify users when it's run. So, if you've
- asked for notifications every 5 minutes, but your host only cycles
- every 15 minutes, you'll get notifications every 15 minutes.
- o The current version resets itself at midnight, so even if users
- were just reminded at 11:59pm and your interval is 90 minutes,
- they will get another reminder on the next MHS cycle.
