- You might want to include the following in your documentation:
-
- If the TGV Multinet software has been acquired to replace another vendor's
- product, the invocation of the SMTP mailer will probably be different.
- For example,
-
- using old vendor's software: WXYZ%"address",
- using Multinet: SMTP%"address".
-
- However, the change can be made transparent to the users by adding the
- following logical:
-
- $ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXECUTIVE_MODE WXYZ_MAILSHR MULTINET:SMTP_MAILSHR
-
- This will allow users to reply to mail received when the old software was
- in place and to continue to use procedures and distribution lists that
- have the old SMTP mailer invocation defined. Transparency is vital to
- keeping the user community happy, which is vital to the career stability
- of the support staff!
-
- However, on the negative side, a BIG difference using the TGV Multinet
- software is that only one address is allowed per SMTP%"address" field.
- For example,
-
- using old vendor's software: WXYZ%"user1@address,user2@address",
- using Multinet: SMTP%"user1@address",SMTP%"user2@address".
-
- Many other products allow multiple addresses and TGV's limitation has
- caused us some grief.
