- I've gotten a report or problems using DELIVER under VMS 5.5-1
- (presumably the problem happens with 5.5-x, but nothing has been said
- about that). The problem only happens with unprivileged accounts
- (specifically accounts without CMKRNL). DELIVER has been installed
- correctly (at least the privileges assigned to the various MAIL
- executables ought to allow DELIVER to work).
-
- Andy Harper (the guy with the problem) has chased the problem and it
- seems that MAILSHR.EXE is turning off CMKRNL (perhaps all "unnecessary"
- privileges) before entering DELIVER_MAILSHR which neatly prevents
- DELIVER from being able to submit the necessary batch jobs to actually
- deliver the mail.
-
- I don't have a 5.5-1 system available to chase this one, so the question
- is:
-
- Is anyone out there running the new version of DELIVER on 5.5-1
- and seeing any problems with it when a non-privileged user
- attempts to send mail to an account with the transport set to
- DELIVER%?
-
- Or can you confirm that starting with V5.5 that MAIL now forces
- privileges to be only what MAIL believes to be necessary (which should
- break a lot of foreign transports)?
