[mod.computers.vax] Mailer Features for JNET V1

ZRGC002@DTUZDV5A.BITNET (Christoph D. Gatzka) (11/26/86)

For all those of you who are still using jnet version 1 I have a simple command
procedure that supersedes jmail.exe. That way you are able to send mail to
gateway::"info-vax@sri-kl.arpa" (same syntax as for bitnet) or reply to any
mail coming from outside bitnet. I have been told that jnet outgoing mail no
longer involves decnet in version 2 or later, but uses the mail foreign inter-
face instead. Since the tape did not get to us yet, I can say nothing about
similar possibilities there (I think that would involve a subprocess).

My command procedure will work with any mailer but was originally written for
GMAIL. Other possibilities apart from jnet interfacing are the use of a mailer
via MAILER::"somebody..somewhere".

If anybody is interested, I will send him the code.
