I am trying to solve what I would think is a simple problem. I am trying to forward mail from a LAN mail system to IBM's PROFS on VM. So I only need one piece of information. Is there a simple command (or two) to do the following: SEND filex TO usery VIA PROFS MAIL ? Transferring the file is easy, as is logging in as the correct user. Any help via direct e-mail would be greatly appreciated. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Brian Jay Gould :: INTERNET gould@pilot.njin.net BITNET gould@jvncc - - UUCP rutgers!njin!gould Telephone (201) 329-9616 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------s

Hi Brian! >I am trying to solve what I would think is a simple problem. I am trying >to forward mail from a LAN mail system to IBM's PROFS on VM. It would be a lot simpler if PROFS understood RFC822 mail. Happiliy, there is a product from IBM called PROFS Extended Mail Facility (5798-FBJ) which will make it do so. Unhappily, those who've installed it consider it something of a dog, both in performance and in function. When added to your PROFS system, this product causes PROFS to recognize an RFC822 format file as mail, and to parse the harders. > So I only >need one piece of information. > >Is there a simple command (or two) to do the following: > >SEND filex TO usery VIA PROFS MAIL ? Hmm... are you trying to do this from the VM system? If so, I don't think you really need to do this at all, since you're on the same system. If you're not, then it's a little difficult. PROFS only recongizes one thing as "mail", and the exact format of that file is undocumented. With the addition of the Extended Mail product, it understands RFC822 mail, so I guess that would do the trick for you - just imbed the file in a mail message. Ross Patterson Rutgers Univeristy
