- # BDALES MAILER.RUNTIME CONFIGURATION (BM.RC)
- #-------------------------------------------------------------------#
- #
- # For a fuller explanation of BM.RC and the Simple Mail Transfer
- # Protocol (SMTP) see references in userman.doc..
- #
- # BM is designed to serve as the mail user-interface for the
- # KA9Q TCP/IP internetworking package. It provides a full set
- # of mail services to the user.
- #
- # Incoming mail is placed in 'mailbox' files in the
- # \spool\mail directory. The name of the file is based on the
- # user name specified by the sender. New messages with the
- # same user name are appended. If a mailbox file does not
- # exist it will be created automagically. Mailbox files may
- # also be referred to as "notesfiles".
- #
- # Outgoing mail messages consist of two files each in the
- # spool\mqueue directory. The names of the two files will be
- # in the form <integer>.WRK and <integer).TXT, where integer
- # is the sequence number. The current sequence number is the
- # number shown in the file called sequence.seq, also in the
- # mqueue sub-directory.
- #
- # A basic ASCII editor is provided within BM. However if you
- # wish to use your own editor it can be called up from within
- # BM by identifying it at the "edit" entry shown below.
