Hi - I need some help in solving a big problem - We have about 20 small system 5 unix boxes, with the networking software such as rcp, rsh, rlogin, telnet, and ftp. There is no sendmail nor SMTP running on these babies, there is no socket library, no nfs. I would like to have all these machines be able to send their nonlocal mail to one mail server (of the same type of machine, one of the 20 we have), and have it dispatch mail to other brothers on the same ethernet. How can this be done using cron, rcp, rsh and ftp? Does anybody have some shell scripts or short c hacks that can do this job? How would one approach this problem? I guess what I am unclear of is how mail spools non-local mail to the /usr/spool/uucp directory and what rmail expects to see on the other end... Thanks for any pointers, references, help, etc., that you could offer! Bruce deadhead@cup.portal.com
