popclient for OS/2
Copyright 1993,1994 by Carl Harris, Jr.
All rights reserved
OS/2 port by Claudio Fahey
claudio@uclink.berkeley.edu
This package contains two REXX programs to integrate the POP client
(POPCLIENT.EXE) with LaMail and Ultimedia Mail/2 Server. This
client only receives mail from a POP server. It does not send mail
through a POP server. To send mail, you can still use sendmail or
if you're using LaMail, you can use LamPOP. LamPOP can be
downloaded by FTP from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in /os2/2_x/network as
lampop11.zip.
To install this POP client, copy POPCLIENT.EXE, POPCLID.CMD, and
LAMAILER.CMD to a directory in your path. Then modify the top part
of POPCLID.CMD to reflect your setup (see POPCLID.CMD for details).
You also need the emx run-time DLLs. You can get these from
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu:/os2/2_x/unix/emx08h/emxrt.zip. Of course, you
need IBM TCP/IP 2.0.
To have the POP client run every few minutes, run POPCLID.CMD. You
may also start POPCLIENT.EXE from a cron-type program.
popclient defaults to POP3 mode.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:
USER The user's login name on the local workstation. This is
used as the default login name on the remote workstation.
Defaults to "root."
MDA_PATH Mail delivery agent program path. Defaults to "UMAILER.EXE."
MDA_ARGS Mail delivery agent command line arguments. All occurances
of "$u" are replaced by the receipients name. Defaults to
"-dest . -to $u" which delivers mail to the current
directory.
OTHER:
The original popclient code can be downloaded by FTP from
info2.rus.uni-stuttgart.de in /pub/comm/mail/pop/unix as
popclient-2.21.tar.gz.
For modifications to the source code, see PATCHES.OS2.
Feel free to send comments, bug reports, or suggestions related to
this OS/2 port to me.
