Hello all, in the PP documentation volume1, page 3, it is "strongly recommended" to use the Rand MH user agent with PP. I wanted to use MH to handle PP X.400 messages, but I didn't find any hint in the MH documentation how to do this. All I could find was about 822-style messages. Is it impossible, what I want, or is there anybody out there, who managed to use MH with PP X.400 messages ? Please let me know. Thanks Hardy

In the words of a famous clown: "Homey don't play that." (Translated, MH doesn't do X.400) MH is an RFC 822 based mailer. PP is supposed to have it's own implementation for X.400/500 delivery. Perhaps one year someone will take some time to build X.400 into MH, but for now I don't see any conceivable way of using MH for X.400 delivery. But the front-end interface is very attractive given that you compile it with VERYDUMB and use. I once read that behemoth of documentation and they were rather vague about MH and 822 delivery. I do believe, though, that they gave a sample configuration entry for mh. I forgot where or for what because I've gotten rid of the docs. If someone has implemented MH on PP, how they did it would make a good section in the FAQ or perhaps it would be nice to have all of the MH-specific PP config files in the miscellaneous distribution. +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ | Eric W.
