- We use BeaverGate rather than GatorMail. The former doesn't do any
- conversion at all, so the MAC character set is forwarded to the UNIX
- side. Then I have a MAILERTABLE for sendmail that includes an entry
- of the form:
-
- mac.sisu.se TCP-MAC,mac.sisu.se
-
- which tells sendmail to use a special mailer for letters to and from
- this host. TCP-MAC is the normal TCP mailer with the added
- specification of a character class to use:
-
- MTCP-MAC, P=[IPC], F=CDFMXhnmu, E=\r\n, R=10/11, S=11, A=IPC $h, C=MAC, X=29
