... Client / Server Program Options
Mail (with SMTP) Client Program The MAIL program provides local and internet mail services. This program is recommended for systems not requiring a POP3 server. The startup options for MAIL are: MAIL [?] [-fp filespec] [-i IP Address] [-z s] ? List the Help Text and Exit MAIL f filename Command File h Help list i IP Address Intermediate Host Name / IP Address p filename Specify the Password Filespec z s Connection Timeout in Seconds The Intermediate Host IP option provides a means of routing the internet mail through another host machine. The TSX-Plus MAIL program does not support retry operations if the mail cannot be delivered, using an intermediate host supporting retries will provide this feature to the TSX-Plus MAIL system. Permission to use a particular host as a MAIL relay should be obtained from the hosts' system manager. The option must be specified using the complete name (an IP address may also be used). A typical invocation follows: -i mail.domain.name The MAIL program is invoked from the command file MAIL.COM: run/single TCP:mail -hpz PAS:/paswrd.dsk/paswrd.fil 60 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6 The MAIL program supports the following command line options: ? print local help information bye terminate the MAIL program copy copy a message to a file debug toggle/set debugging mode delete delete a message dir list of unread mail messages exit terminate the MAIL program hash toggle printing `#' during transfers help print local help information home go to home (initial) directory index an index of received mail interactive turn on prompting on multiple commands last read most recent mail message lcd change local working directory ldelete delete local files ldir list contents of local directory listmail list of unread mail messages lls list contents of local directory lmkdir make a local directory lprotect set protection flag on local file lpwd show local working directory lrename rename a local file lrmdir remove a local directory ltype print a local file to the screen lunprotect clear protection flag on a local file mail go to mail directory newmail count number of new mail messages noninteractive turn off prompting on multiple commands prompt toggle interactive prompting on multiple commands quit terminate the MAIL program read read a mail message scan scan directory for all mail messages send [filespec] initiate the sending of a message status show current status user enter a new user/password access key verbose toggle verbose mode version MAIL-11 version displayed wild toggle wildcard expansion of local file names Mail is sent to a local user if only a name is specified and to a remote machine if the user and IP address are specified. Local: username Internet: username@machine.domain.name The MAIL programs MAIL.SAV, MMAIL.SAV, MAILER.SAV, RPOP3.SAV, and RSMTP.SAV make use of the password file to restrict access to the mail system. A user may have local and/or remote MAIL access (or no access) depending on the password file parameters. Incoming mail may be directed to a users' default directory or to a specific mail directory (specified in the password file). A typical configuration is to create a mail directory, SY:MAIL.DSK, and have mail subdirectories for each user. Thus the path SY:/MAIL/USER1/ specifies the users' unique mail direc- tory and should be specified in the password configuration. The local mail programs MAIL.SAV, MMAIL.SAV, and MAILER.SAV and the remote mail programs RSMTP.SAV and RPOP3.SAV check the password file to verify that the user has the privilege to send or re- ceive mail via the network and places any received mail in the specified mail directory. These programs will use/create a mail index file in the mail directory which is used to keep an index of all received mail.=> Section Index
Mail (without SMTP) Client Program The MMAIL program is a front end interface to the MAILER ser- vice. This program is recommended for systems requiring a POP3 server. The startup options for MMAIL are: MMAIL [?] [-fp filespec] [-t n] [-h] ? List the Help Text and Exit MMAIL f filename Command File h Help list p filename Specify the Password Filespec t n MAILER Delivery Task Number The MAILER delivery task number must be specified. The task number must be that specified in the TCPIP.CFG for the MAILER task. The MAILER task is started by MMAIL when mail is sent. The MMAIL program is invoked from the command file MMAIL.COM: run/single TCP:mmail -hpt PAS:/paswrd.dsk/paswrd.fil 1 ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6 The MMAIL program supports the following command line options: ? print local help information bye terminate the MMAIL program copy copy a message to a file debug toggle/set debugging mode delete delete a message dir list of unread mail messages exit terminate the SMAIL program help print local help information home go to home (initial) directory index an index of received mail interactive turn on prompting for multiple commands last read most recent mail message lcd change local working directory ldelete delete local files ldir list contents of local directory listmail list of unread mail messages lls list contents of local directory lmkdir make a local directory lprotect set protection flag on local file lpwd show local working directory lrename rename a local file lrmdir remove a local directory ltype print a local file to the screen lunprotect clear protection flag on a local file mail go to mail directory newmail count number of new mail messages noninteractive turn off prompting for multiple commands prompt toggle interactive prompting on multiple commands quit terminate the MAIL program read read a mail message scan scan directory for all mail messages send [filespec] initiate the sending of a message status show current status user enter a new user/password access key version SMAIL-11 version displayed wild toggle wildcard expansion of local file names Mail is sent to a local user if only a name is specified and to a remote machine if the user and IP address are specified. Local: username Internet: username@machine.domain.name The MAIL programs MAIL.SAV, MMAIL.SAV, MAILER.SAV, RPOP3.SAV, and RSMTP.SAV make use of the password file to restrict access to the mail system.

Mail Server Program for MMAIL and RPOP3 MAILER is a backend program for MMAIL and RPOP3 which provides mail delivery to local users and remote destinations. When MAILER is activated it scans all user mail directories for files with names similiar to ml____.nnn created by MMAIL or RPOP3. These files are routed to their respective destinations and then deleted. If the mail is not deliverable then the mes- sage is directed back to the sender. The program startup op- tions are: MAILER [?] [-p filespec] [-i IP-address] [-t n] [-z s] [-ev] ? List the Help Text and Exit MAILER e Enable Monitoring of MAILER Transactions i IP-address Intermediate Host Name / IP Address p filespec Specify the Password Filespec t n (minutes) Continuous scanning time interval v Verbose Mode z s Conection Timeout in Seconds The Intermediate Host IP option provides a means of routing the internet mail through another host machine. The TSX-Plus MAIL program does not support retry operations if the mail cannot be delivered, using an intermediate host supporting retries will provide this feature to the TSX-Plus MAIL system. Permission to use a particular host as a MAIL relay should be obtained from the hosts' system manager. The option must be specified using the complete name (an IP address may also be used). A typical invocation follows: -i mail.domain.name The program may be started interactively (for diagnostic pur- poses) by the command file MAILER.COM: run/single TCP:mailer -p PAS:/paswrd.dsk/paswrd.fil ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6 The program is normally invoked by the TCPIP network server pro- gram by the command file MAILER.SRV: deassign dismount ld0: dismount ld1: dismount ld2: dismount ld3: dismount ld4: dismount ld5: dismount ld6: dismount ld7: assign sy: wf: mount ld6: dl1:paswrd.dsk assign ld6: PAS: mount ld7: dl1:tsxtcp.dsk assign ld7: TCP: run/single TCP:mailer -piz PAS:paswrd.fil mail.domain.name 60 The specification of device wf: is required by MAILER to temporarily store local mail messages before writing the mail to the users mail directories. If wf: is undefined, inaccessable, or not initialized then mail will not be delivered. The MAIL programs MAIL.SAV, MMAIL.SAV, MAILER.SAV, RPOP3.SAV, and RSMTP.SAV make use of the password file to restrict access to the mail system. A user may have local and/or remote MAIL access (or no access) depending on the password file parameters.
