I need to know the syntax for the /usr/lib/mail/execmail program on SCO Unix Sys V 3.2.2. I am trying to modify a shell script supplied with NN as a recmail replacement so that it will work with execmail. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov

According to chip@osh3.OSHA.GOV (Chip Yamasaki): >I need to know the syntax for the /usr/lib/mail/execmail program on SCO >Unix Sys V 3.2.2. [The UNIX mail system has already been hacked by Chip Salzenberg and Chip Rosenthal, and now we have Chip Yamasaki. I can't wait for the next episode of "As The Chips Accumulate..."] I suggest that all users of the SCO E-Mail system remove it and replace it with Smail 3.1, which can be found on uunet.uu.net as ~/mail/smail3.1.20.Z. Failing that, here's the syntax of >XENIX< execmail (if you use UNIX, your mileage may vary): /usr/lib/mail/execmail [-m] [-f x] [-n] [-r] [-h #] address... -m metoo -f x from "x" -n noalias -r remote ("!" instead of ":") -h # max hop count (default=20) -- Brand X Industries Custodial, Refurbishing and Containment Service: When You Never, Ever Want To See It Again [tm] Chip Salzenberg <chip@tct.com>, <uunet!pdn!tct!chip>

If it's really SCO Unix, not SCO Xenix, use the submit(C) program that comes with MMDF. It's /usr/mmdf/bin/submit, I believe, and there's a full man page detailing how to use it. (Under SCO Unix, I think /usr/lib/mail/execmail is just a front-end for submit that the Micnet stuff uses. I wish they'd drop their Micnet support; I don't think anybody uses it anymore, and it tends to interfere with other networking stuff.) -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | "Bus error: passengers dumped" ...!hela!mudos!mju |

Yeah, but I have Elm using execmail and would like to have both of the mailer plugged in at the same spot. Execmail seems to add come headers that submit doesn't. And furthermore, submit was giving me some permissions problems. I have read (right here in this group) that the problem with permissions is a SCO installation bug and that it can be cleared up by correcting permissions according to the report produced by checkup. Still, the execmail program is also in the Xenix mail system on many other computers we have here and I would like to know exactly how to use it. -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov

I always thought it sounded a little too much like a member of a Frat-Pack Polo club anyhow (no, I don't have any Izod shirts). :-) >I suggest that all users of the SCO E-Mail system remove it and >replace it with Smail 3.1, which can be found on uunet.uu.net as >~/mail/smail3.1.20.Z. Well, I'm quite happy with MMDF on my Unix system, but wanted to plug my mail UAs into the same place in the MTA that I do on the Xenix system. The Xenix system is not worth the time and effort to put up smail because it will be Unix soon. >Failing that, here's the syntax of >XENIX< execmail (if you use UNIX, >your mileage may vary): Many thanks! -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov

I suggest that users carefully consider their needs, and then choose the most appropriate MTA. If you want support, stick with MMDF, and nothing (well maybe PP) beats it for authorization control, and it's pretty gentle on heavily loaded systems, and ... All MTAs have their advantages and disadvantages, blind allegiance is probably not wise. This is not intended as a flame, merely another opinion. :-)
