-- I am trying to use the ~/.maildelivery file to parse through my mail message. I am having a problem getting slocal to append mail message to my default mail folder. When messages are appended to the file, they look like one large message instead of several seperate messages. It seems that a blank line must come before the "From:" line of the messages and slocal is not putting on in. The options on slocal are : version: MH 6.7 #17[UCI] (isdc00) of Thu Aug 2 19:32:40 EDT 1990 options: [BERK] [BSD42] [DUMB] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BIND] [RPATHS] [BANG] [BSD42] [BSD43] [MHRC] [NFS] [UCI] [SUN40] [TYPESIG=void] [SENDMTS] - Alan Sengillo PHONE: (716) 726-9716 - - Internet: sengillo@Kodak.com - - USMAIL: Eastman Kodak Co., Dept. 698, 2-1-EP, Rochester NY, 14653-5108 -

Cannot mail directly >to programs The problem here has nothing to do with MH. It is related only to the way that 'sendmail' is setup. If mail is being forwarded to another machine, it is important that this be done before the '.forward' is interpreted. You apparently have some strange setup whereby certain mail is forwarded to a fileserver, but this is being done too late, after the '.forward' interpretation. (I can give you more assistance by email if requested - I have recently been dealing with related problems). -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
