- Hi,
-
- I am running PMDF 4.0, JNET 3.4, Multinet 3.0, and VMS 5.4-3.
-
- We have a connection to an MVS machine on our campus via BITNET. The
- mailer on that machine really wants the External Writer field to be set
- to the destination user. If this is not done, it parses the headers for
- the "To:" line, which causes unpleasant results.
-
- By default, the SEND/FILE command comes from Joiner with "/OPTIONS" set
- to "". I see from the source that the Options file seems to be used to
- create a "/OPTIONS=blah" switch on the SEND/FILE that BN_MASTER performs.
-
- Here are my questions:
-
- 1. Can I add a "W=" to the options file to have it set use the options
- as follows:
-
- SEND/FILE/OPTIONS="W="
-
- 2. Joiner Tech Support tells me it is safe to include "/OPTIONS="W=" to
- have the external writer field filled in on each SEND. Is that true?
- Are there any NJE mail software packages that would not like this? If
- there are, what is the best way to have this option apply to our
- specific host (or a specific queue)?
-
-
- Thanks,
-
