Posted this yesterday, but think it ended up in the

I'm wondering...

How to get mail to/from Compuserve/Prodigy.  Is there

I am working with the deliver program and have -n option being used in
the following deliver.sys:

case $1 in
address)
        set -x
        SUBJECT=`grep "^Subject:" $HEADER`

        mailx -s "Re: $SUBJECT" $SENDER << XXX
Your mail regarding $SUBJECT has been forwarded to the proper person.
;;
esac

This is not using aliases as one would think -n would. As it is working, it
seems to just what -b would. Also, in the -v output below, what is the
system delivery file disabled line doing? Is this closing upon completion
of it's use?

This would seem to indicate that the problem was in the FTP & Wollongong

Mistake #1: deliver.sys may be called with several addresses, so you
need a loop.  Mistake #2: if you want tucker's ".deliver" executed,
you should just output "tucker" and let the parent Deliver handle it.
So the code should be more like:

================================================================

FWD=

for u
do
    case "$u" in
    address1) echo "tucker"; FWD=yes ;;
    address2) echo "someone"; FWD=yes ;;
    address3) echo "otherone"; FWD=yes ;;
    *)        echo "$u"	;;
    esac
done

if test -n "$FWD"
then
    SUBJECT="`header -f subject $HEADER`"
    mailx -s "Re: $SUBJECT" $SENDER << XXX
Your mail regarding:
   $SUBJECT
has been forwarded to the proper person(s).
XXX
fi

================================================================

Deliver never uses aliases.  It executes delivery files.  And "-n"
does just what the man page says it does: avoid all delivery files.

>Also, in the -v output below, what is the system delivery file disabled
>line doing?
>
>found system delivery file /usr/local/lib/deliver.sys

It's doing what you asked for when you used the "-n" option: finding
but skipping the system delivery file.

No, I don't think much of people who wander off on a completely

Dave, if you want to talk about mail reliability, which has some
relevance to this newsgroup, and do it in a context of more than "my
site runs SMTP software I have written so mail everywhere is
reliable", then fine. I will happily discuss that with you. Even when
you start it with insults. I will continue to point out that not
everyone runs SMTP or your software, and that you have no control over
what software handles your mail after it leaves your site.

If you want to whine about how awful my plan file is, which has no
relevance at all since I don't have one, then feel free. Just don't
confuse who the pig is and who the farmer is, cause you certainly don't
live in the farmhouse on this one.

Hi, I'm a real unix neophyte, trying to learn quick, and I have to
install a POP server on one of our Sun 3/50s. I've got Popper 1.831
from ftp.cc.berkeley.edu and am trying to compile it. And I'm already
running into trouble (I'm also not much of a programmer) -- I get the
following error when compiling:

pop_init.c: 123: Can't find include file resolv.h
*** Error code 2

Now, I know that means I'm missing a needed header file, but I don't
know enough about the environment (Sun Unix 4.2) to know where this
header should be. Am I missing an entire library I need or is
this some special header? This particular Sun is not used for much and
I would not be surprised if it does not have the most complete
installation.

Also, can anybody tell me where I can find a copy of ph?

I know these are probably really dumb questions, but that's OK. I'm
willing to look stupid if it gets me answers. :-)

This brings up a related question - is there an official list of sites
which gateway mail from the Internet into BITNET?  Or is everyone supposed

< From: povlphp@uts.uni-c.dk (Povl H. Pedersen)
< Header says it all. I want the format of the mbox file that is tandard on
< unix systems. I would prefer not to parse lots of source code to find it.

There are two types of headers: UNIX Postmark headers and RFC 822 headers.

The UNIX Postmark headers are the lines which start with "From " and ">From ".
They look like

	From <user> <date-string>
or
	From <user> <date-string> remote from <system>

The RFC 822 headers are the Keyword: style headers.

A mailbox consists of multiple messages, one after the other. A mail message
looks like this:

	1		"From " UNIX postmark header
	0 or more	">From " UNIX postmark headers
	0 or more	RFC 822 headers
	0 or 1		blank line
	the message body

On some UNIX systems, if one of the RFC 822 headers is a "Content-Length:"
header, then the message body consists of exactly the number of bytes
specified in that header.

If there is no "Content-Length:" header, then the next message is started by
a line which starts with the characters "From ".

I hope this helps.

If he (or you) are willing to spend the money, calling in to his EasyLink
mailbox would probably be simpler than trying to get guest accounts
around France.  (I don't think there are _any_ connections to Morocco.)

However, he may have problems with finding, carrying, and/or operating

Inasmuch as commercial companies (read AT&T) should be out to please

We also inserted a little feature, sure to send serious e-mail programmers

the same logins as their uucp system ids. When they are away from their
