- I am attempting to patch together a mail handler for our vm/cms. I've got
- the download mail part so it is at least temperally accptable. My idea
- for the upload section was like so:
- The mail would be created on a pc front end (peguisus mail) and saved.
- A pascal program would convert the header format of the pc mail to that
- which the mailer wants (more on this later)
- a procomm plus script would move all the outgoing mail files to the vm
- a rexx program would figure out the names of all the outgoing files and sf
- them to mailer OR the procomm plus script could transmit sf filename for
- each file.
-
- This rases two problems. First is that I am not able to find ANYTHING
- about what format the mailer wants the mail in. If anyone out there has
- an idea / documentation, I would greatly appreciate it. Our cms front end
- is Ricemail, in case that makes any difference.
-
- Second, what is the basic algorythm for a sf * outmail mailer in rexx.
- And why can't cms take an sf * outmail in the first place. Most other
- OS's I've worked with are a LOT better about wildcards tham CMS.
-
- By the way, this doesn't have to be too essoteric - the whole thing will
- be in use for six months to a year at most. The basic I dea is to get it
- working most the time.
- I appreciate the help
