- Unfortunately, you may not be able to alter your mail programs to utilize
- the features of uumail.
-
- However, I am providing a method for you to try experimentally. Please
- let me know if it works successfully for you.
-
- Mail usually works like this----
-
- mail --->Is it local? -->Yes-->put in mail box
- |
- No
- |
- --> uux --> uucp to destination machine
-
- What I am providing is a program that you put in place of uux to
- call uumail to route the mail for you. Then the map becomes---
-
- mail --->Is it local? -->Yes-->put in mail box
- |
- No
- |
- --> fakeuux --> Is it rmail? --> No --> realuux -->uucp
- |
- Yes
- |
- --> uumail --> realuux --> uucp
-
-
- Basically, you put the old uux in another place and put this fake uux in
- the original location. To try this feature, edit makefile and change the
- definition of REALUUX to match the place you will put your ORIGINAL uux
- program. Then type
- make fakeuux
-
- Good luck and let me know if it works.
