to_stdnet@stag.UUCP (06/29/89)
From: stag!thelake!steve@bungia.mn.org (Steve Yelvington)
Someone named "moses" has addressed a couple of messages
to.stdnet@stag.UUCP regarding UUMAIL. Apparently the program is bombing.
Note that the mailer-daemon at stag has a nasty habit of trashing senders'
addresses. Thus this message from pwcs!stag!thelake!steve will appear to
be written by to.stdnet@stag.UUCP. The same thing happened to moses'
messages, and since moses did not include a .signature line bearing an
address, nobody can reply directly to the query.
to.stdnet actually is a group discussion. If you reply "privately" to a
message and note "to.stdnet@stag" in the To: field, please check the
signature line on the original and fix the address so that your note will
be delivered to the appropriate person. And, to help battle Murphy, please
include your address in a .signature at the bottom of your note. Thanks.
Now, about UUMAIL: It works just fine if it can locate all the appropriate
files in the current working directory:
6 UUMAIL.SEQ sequence # created and maintained by uumail
46776 UUMAIL.TTP the program
3337 UUMAIL.ADR username lookup table
1632 UUMAIL.ATX @system lookup table
541 UUMAIL.CFG configuration (essential!)
137 UUMAIL.HDR additional header lines (optional)
123 UUMAIL.SGN signature lines (optional)
365 UUMAIL.SYS UUCP host systems, baud rates, passwords (essential!)
83 UUMAIL.NWS pseudonews rmail table (optional)
4317 UUMAIL.LOG log generated by uumail
The uumail.cfg file should provide the name of a text editor and file
pager as well.
The formats of the above files are described in the UUMAIL documentation.
