I reposted uumail to net.sources. Gotta lot of responses. Enjoy! (here is the original announcement for those of you who don't know what uumail is.) --------------------------------------------------------------- I am happy to announe the release of uumail version 4.0, the pathalias mailer. uumail is not a user-agent. It is intended to be used as a "back-end" to take the mail from user-agents and correctly route it to its destination. Other examples of similiar programs include sendmail, delivermail, and MMDF. Features of uumail include: o RFC 976 Compliant (UUCP Mail Interface Format Standard) o uses pathalias(1) generated database in either text or dbm(3) format o MH-style aliasing support o sendmail-like .forward processing o can pipe mail output into other programs (e.g. uurec) o can be used under SYSTEM III, SYSTEM V or BSD o rn-like Configuration program for easy installation o returns undeliverable mail o usable as a mailer with sendmail(8) o does not require unix sources to install o dynamically determines uucp neighbors without modification of the pathalias database o functions as uupath(1) to return paths from pathalias(1) database o logging of traffic supported o supports 4.3 BSD UUCP graded transactions No other programs are required to use uumail. Pathalias(1) is useful for generating a full database, but a full database is not required to make uumail useful. Bug reports are welcome.
