EmailDelivery V1.00.00 for OS/2 Readme file.
1/7/96
Firstly I hope you find this utility useful. Any probs or questions then
email me at :
a.gawthrope@paddocks.demon.co.uk
What is it ?
============
EmailDelivery is a small application which is run by IBM's Sendmail SMTP
software. It supports the delivery of mail to different folders. Each
folder representing a different email user.
This application will only be of use to you if you are using Sendmail and SMTP
mail. i.e. not POP3.
This is the case for many Demon Internet users.
Requirements
============
IBM Sendmail
Any version of OS/2
A text file similar to this (The neat colums are not important !) :
root c:\tcpip\usr\root\mail
andrew c:\tcpip\usr\a.gawthrope\mail
postmaster c:\tcpip\usr\postmaster\mail
a.gawthrope c:\tcpip\usr\a.gawthrope\mail
pmcrypt c:\tcpip\usr\pmcrypt\mail
maillist c:\tcpip\usr\maillist\mail
compucare C:\TCPIP\USR\compucare\mail
The first colum is a list of valid user names. These usernames must match
the ones used in email's. EmailDelivery uses the name Sendmail extracts from
the email and does a lookup in this file to find the matching directory were
it will store the incoming email. Thus the directory names must be valid too.
My file I call 'mailaddr' and keep it in the folder 'c:\tcpip\etc'.
Function
========
There are a couple of other utilities about which I know of that are similar
but this one makes no presumptions about the type of mail software you are
using and it is run by Sendmail when it tries to deliver mail. Therefore it
is NOT run as a deamon looking if files have been delivered before
re-delivering them again.
Installation
============
Copy file EmailDelivery.exe into a folder on your system. I place mine
in folder 'c:\tcpip\bin'. Thats it.
Well nearly, now edit Sendmail's configuration file, normally called and in
folder 'c:\tcpip\etc\sendmail.cf'. Use an editor that preserves TABS else
Sendmail will object.
I suggest you comment out the existing line and add the line below :
Mlocal, P=c:\tcpip\bin\emailDelivery.exe, F=lsDFPM, S=10, R=20, A=c:\tcpip\etc\mailaddr $u
It is important that the line looks just like this.
i.e. Do not split the line or change the case. You CAN change the folder
names though. The ones shown reflect my setup, yours might well be different.
The bit which says 'A=c:\tcpip\etc\mailaddr' is the full filespec which
contains the list of users and their associated folder names. As shown above.
Well thats about it, if you have probs let me know. For any of you that
need the source code let me know I can supply it.
