[comp.mail.mh] posting to a local bboard

tn@sunfse.UUCP (Tristan Nefzger) (06/22/91)

Hi-

Now I've printed out the MH manual thanks to a tip from the net and
find nothing in it about configuring local bulletin boards.

AND I bought the book on MH and there's only a passing reference to
bboards in it.

So, how do you post to a local bboard?  (I think I got one
configured-- i.e., the default "system" bboard.  

Like how to get comp to use the sbboards mailer which DOES work from
the command line (but does NOT format messages correctly).

Configuration is:

version: MH 6.7 #9[UCI] (sunfse) of Fri Jun 7 16:12:39 PDT 1991
options: [BERK] [BSD42] [BSD43] [DBM] [DUMB] [FOLDPROT='"0700"']
         [MSGPROT='"0600"'] [MHE] [MHRC] [NFS] [OVERHEAD] [SUN40]
         [TYPESIG=void] [ZONEINFO] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] [POP] [BPOP] [NNTP]

on a sun 4/490 under SunOS 4.1.1.

Thanks.

Tristan

A second edition of the "MH & xmh" Nutshell Handbook might (???) be out
sometime in the next year or so.  If that happens, I'm going to try to cover
things that I didn't in the first edition -- like bboards.  I haven't used
bboards much in the last few years, but some of you folks use it every day.
If you've got tips, hints, local documentation, etc. that you don't send
to the list to answer Tristan's question, I'd appreciate a copy.  If I use
them (with your permission, of course), I'll give you credit.  Thanks!
