Well... as the award of stupidness has not been given out since a while,
here we go again:  victims PP 6.0 (1 more) and [censored :)].

Would one explain me in what "grasp.insa-lyon.fr" is unrouteable?
(grasp.insa-lyon.fr is a MX record pointing to my machine, 
grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr).  When I sent mail there 
as user@univ-lyon1.fr or user@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr, PP does not
complain!

There is a program in SIMTEL I believe which does this. You should
find this on wuarchive.wustl.edu (/mirrors/unix-c/mail/digest.c). 

There is a companion program in the same directory (undigestify.c)
which undigests the digested message (if the message is saved from the
mail/news program as a mailbox file). Advanced mail readers like mush,
MH etc. have the undigest feature in them. This program would be
useful for people having the Berkeley mail program which doesn't have

Just "works at AT&T" is pretty vague.  Seems like you should either write
to a postmaster @ his host address or else reveal what it is so that others
can discuss it realistically.

Subject: Problem using procmail
Keywords: procmail
Date: 19 Aug 92 07:41:06 GMT
Organization: Delft University of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering


Hi,

I have the following problem with procmail. I have defined a set of recipes
with which I want to save mail for certain lists in certain files and
place a log message in my system mailbox. All other mail should be
placed in my system mailbox without generating a log message.

For example, mail from the SNMP list should be appended to a file
called ~/mail/SNMP and a log message should be generated in my
system mailbox /var/spool/mail/richard.

The log message and the appending works fine, but the message itself is
also placed in my system mailbox.

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?

My .procmailrc is included below.



Thanks,

Richard.

Your .procmailrc file looks fine.  My guess is that the problem lies in your
.forward file.  Look in the man page for procmail(1) in the NOTES section, and
check to see if you don't have any extraneous entries in your .forward file.

I suspect you looked at the .forward file example in the vacation(1) man page.
Procmail, unlike vacation does not need the \username entry in the .forward
file.

Aside from the PMDF solution proposed by Jeff Mandel, there is a simpler
one. I am guessing that you already have DECUS UUCP because your VAX is the
UUCP connection. If so, there is a file called MAIL_REWRITE.RULES that can
be used to transform internet addresses into DECnet addresses and effect
VMS Mail delivery. REGISTER YOUR SITE AS A DOMAIN(!). Then add a rule

  *@*.yourdomain.com     \002::\001

and any mail addressed to user@node.yourdomain.com will be routed to the
VMS Mail address NODE::USER. YOu need to do the reverse for outgoing mail
to convert DECnet address back into a domain address. If you insist on
using bangpath or ".uucp" addressing you can still do it. Also, if you want
to get really fancy, you can set up your VAX as a "domain gateway" and put
separate rules into the file for each user in your company. This will hide
your DECnet node names and let you use addresses like user@yourdomain.com.
I personally dislike exposing your machine names in your mail addresses.

My father recently signed up for Prodigy and is thrilled to the gills
about being able to send me e-mail.  Unfortunatly for him, as I've
recently discovered, Prodigy isn't connected to Internet.  I even called
1-800-PRODIGY to get it "from the horse's mouth" and the nice lady said
she was unaware of any plans to provide Internet access.

So my curiosity's been piqued.  Are there other ways for computer
illiterates (like Dad) to send and receive e-mail?  Does anyone out there
use MCI-Mail?  How is it?  Are there other such services?  I'm more
inclined to point him towards a commercial service rather than a BBS for
reliability.

I suppose if Prodigy would get it's act together and provide Internet
access, that would solve the problem.  So far it's only a rumor and
possibly a long way from reality.

Thanks for your input...

I suspect the Prodigy censors will be suffering from a major mental
short circuit whan that happens. If Email from net users is anything
like some of the public postings, They'll (Prodigy) probably shut the
gateway down after about a week of overtime dealing with the traffic.

Thanks to all of you who responded with answers to my question
about how I can send mail to a CompuServe user.

Everyone had pretty much the same suggestion about changing the
commas in the CompuServe address to periods and tacking on 
"compuserve.com" on the end.

What I discovered, however, was that the mail was returned to me
when I did that.  For example, the following syntax caused the mail
to be returned with a "Your mail cannot be delivered as addressed"
message:

	xxxxx.yyyy@compuserve.com

However, when I changed the capitalization to the following, it worked:

	xxxxx.yyyy@CompuServe.COM

Weird, huh?

I'm able to send mail now using this CompServe syntax so I'm happy.
Thanks again to all who responded.

this might be a FAQ but I don't know the answer yet :-)

I am kind of fed up with lots of junky mailing lists coming directly into my
mailbox. Therefore, I intend to feed these mails into our newsserver (having
local newsgroups for that purpose). Reading the stuff there would be more
convenient for me and my colleagues as well.

I already have each mailing list coming to a different local mail address, thus
I know what is what and don't need to scan my mailbox. All I need is a good 
pipe...

Q: Is there a program that takes a usual e-mail as input and posts it to a 
certain newsgroup? This should include some header-editing (adding Newsgroup:,
removing Received etc.).

My environment is UNIX / SunOS.

Thank you very much for any help. Please, answer directly to me - I'll 
summarize later to the list if necessary.

I don't know about MCI etc., but in the Internet there exist currently
pilot projects that build up a distributed directory using the CCITT
X.500 protocols. One of the best software to access this service is
part of the ISODE 8.0 package (quipu).
