[comp.mail.sendmail] mail11 clone wanted

rcleon@lso.win.tue.nl (Leon Oninckx) (07/09/90)

Our systems are running Ultrix 3.0, 3.1 and 3.1c (perhaps soon 4.0), but
we have problems using the DEC-supplied mail11 in combination with sendmail
5.64+IDA 1.3.1. About a year ago I read an article concerning a mail11
clone someone had written, but I have lost the email address of the author.
Can someone provide me more info on that decnetmailer, ftp-address or email
address? Perhaps someone has written an even better one (including docs :) )?
Thanks,

-Leon

I got my utk-mail11 from UTKCS2.CS.UTK.EDU (128.169.201.2) some time
ago,  you may be able to get a newer version now.

I had problem with the sendmail 5.61+IDA 1.3.1 on Ultrix 3.1 too.  The
mail just hung and not doing anything. I tried version 1.5 of the
utk-mail11, it didn't help.
Following is the verbose session:

echan@cadev1... Connecting to cadev1 (decnet)...

>>> HELO opus
250 Mail-11_V3.0 DECnet-ULTRIX Mail-11 Mailer

Here is the out from ps -auxww | grep mail

echan     8945  0.0  3.1  435  312 p1 S     0:08 -AA08945

root      8937  0.0  3.7  507  370 ?  I     0:00 -Waiting for connection
(sendmail)


I recall I read somewhere that I have to set some mailer flag to make it
work.(May be I am wrong or seeing things). 

Would someone tell me what that was or how to get it work on Ultrix 3.1 ?

Thanks.

DECWRL uses the UTK version of mail11.  My version has had some changes
made, mostly for speed but a few functional improvements and a few bugs
added (sorry).  Look on gatekeeper.dec.com, anon ftp, in /pub/DEC.

No support.  If you use this software and it deletes every file you own,
DEC isn't liable.  You don't even get a tailgate warrantee with this.
