I recieve comp.mail.maps and dutifly save them and produce databases etc. But ... how can I make sco's mmdf use them ? Should I break the output of pathalias down into domains and channels? Is that desirable or even feasible ? Right now I am just shunting all of my mail over to uunet and letting them munge the addresses. I just keep thinking that all of this mail map information should be put to better use though. +-------- | Bill England | Stephen Software Systems, Inc., Tacoma Wa. | wengland@stephsf.com +1 206 564 2122 | * * H -> He +24Mev * * * ...

I wrote a program for this long long ago it's in the comp.sources.unix archives and I called process-uucp (or some such name) SCO took it and included it with the MMDF they include in SCO/Unix and changed its name to uuprocess. They unfortunately (or so I hear) didn't fix a BSD-ism I had at the time which is that I generated really long file names for the output files. I don't know what else they did or did not do (I'm a bit surprised the USAGE: message is so short, I usually don't write such short ones..) It would be pretty trivial to take my code from comp.sources.unix and fiddle with the file name generation stuff. Or you can save me a bit of time and do what I'm intending to do, which is ... change the -d and -c options so they take their arguments as -d domain,file -c domain,file and to add a "-o file" option.. Just make sure and pass back the changes to me (please??) -- <- David Herron, an MMDF weenie, <david@twg.com> <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <david@ms.uky.edu> <- <- Sign me up for one "I survived Jaka's Story" T-shirt!
