Installing UUPC support.
First you must have a working UUPC setup.
The getmail.cmd and postmail.cmd files go in the MR2\mail directory.
The UNMBOX.EXE program should either go in the MR/2 ICE directory or
somewhere on the PATH.
In the MR/2 ICE Network Settings change the Read mail and Deliver mail
to Custom. Also add a valid directory to the SMTP Settings Mail Dir.
Make sure this directory is empty otherwise MR/2 will attempt to
interpret every file as an incoming mail file. The GETMAIL.CMD file
must be edited to have the same SMTP Mail Dir. This directory MUST be
created before running the UUPC support.
NOTES
The UNMBOX program relies on the "fromsep" variable being set in the
UUPC configuration files. This is the default so unless "nofromsep" is
specified it should be okay. I would recommned not using "nofromsep" as
it makes parsing the UUPC mailbox very difficult - if you receive mail
lists in digest form it would be very hard to split the mail nessages
properly due to the extra headers in digests! If you want the
"nofromsep" logic please send me an example mailbox in "nofromsep"
format so I can derive the best rules to split it.
The UNMBOX program renames the UUPC mailbox so as to avoid a clash with
UUPC writing new mail. If it cannot rename the mailbox it will exit
with no message and you can try again to collect mail later.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
The UNMBOX program uses the following settings from the UUPC
config files:
MailExt
ConfDir
MailDir
Mailbox
nake sure that at least Confdir and Mailbox are defined.
NOTE: the UUPCUSRRC variables overide the UUPCSYSRC settings.
The environment variable UNMB_MAIL overides the UUPC config file
settings.
e.g.
SET MAIL=c:\user\mail\miket.mai
unmbox
ERROR MESSAGES: (saved in MAIL\GETMAIL.ERR)
error - cannot find UUPC mailbox
It appears that it couldn't find your UUPC mailbox.
Please ensure that UUPC works. Try the mail.exe that comes with UUPC
and if it works then you can try the UNMB_MAIL environment variable.
Please let me know if this error occurs and the UUPC mail program can
find the mail!
error - cannot open new file for mail
This happens if the SMTP mail directory does not exist. Create the
directory and try again.
unmbox: error - cannot open file for error message
There is no directory called MAIL for the MAIL\GETMAIL.ERR file to be
created.
usage: unmbox <SMTP directory>
UNMBOX requires the SMTP Mail Directory as a parameter.
