Is there any SCAN like program that allow one to scan the messages
packed in a file using PACKF.

Please answer by e-mail. I don't read this news-group very often.

Subject: MH and shared libs on HP-UX ver 8.0x
Date: 8 Apr 92 18:46:13 GMT
Organization: Computing center at the University of Trondheim, Norway

Hi,

I have developed a set of diffs relative to MH 6.7.2 (with the MIME
patches) to port MH to HP-UX 8.0x.  With these changes, MH will generate a
shared MH library, much in the same way as under SunOS, thus saving some
disk space.  The resulting programs have not been thoroughly tested (I'm
not yet up to speed on MH), but "inc" does at least work, and that's an
indication that I've not messed up with the shared librariy at least.  vmh
needs work, though -- all I get is "vmh: lost peer".  Oh, well...

I haven't tested this code on any other platform after applying these
changes, but it "should work" as before.

The diffs are some 23K all in all, and are available with anonymous FTP
from ugle.unit.no in the pub/unix/mail/ as mh-6.7.2-hpux-sharedlibs.diffs.
I have sent a similar note to this one to MH-Workers@ics.uci.edu, but
haven't heard back from them yet (or a message is lying unread among my 300
other unread messages...)

One thing I'm not sure was wise which these changes implement, was to
include a version number in the name of the shared library, since the
dynamic loader on HP-UX doesn't search for libraries the way SunOS does.

In the hope that this proves useful to some,

Keywords: aliases headers groups
Date: 8 Apr 92 19:51:51 GMT
Article-I.D.: morrow.1992Apr8.195151.15583
Organization: Stanford University Libraries

A novice question:

I have a little problem.  I run a moderated digest on a sun and the
address list is kept in one of my directories with 
  consdist: :include:~whenry/Mail/consdist 
in  /etc/aliases

when I send out a mailing, I tack on headers such as
  To: consdist
  Reply-To:whenry@lindy.stanford.edu
  etc.
and send it with /usr/lib/sendmail -t

Everything would be fine except that the recipients see
  To: consdist@lindy.stanford.edu
and occasionally someone sends mail to that address and it goes out
to the entire list (obviously my intention is that only I be able to
mail to the list).

Someone suggested that I ask the sysadmin to change the line in
/etc/aliases to read
  consdist: whenry
and add a second alias like
  __consdist__: :/whenry/Mail/consdist-list

Then when I add the headers I would use either no To:  or To: consdist
(which now points to me instead of the list)
and
  Bcc: __consdist__
  Reply-To:consdist@lindy.stanford.edu 
     (which now points to whenry@lindy)

This sounds fine to me but before I bother the sysadmin I wanted to
check to make sure that (a) this is the best way to do it and (b)
there aren't any hidden problems awaiting me.

A related question: is this what rfc822's 
  group = phrase : [#mailbox] ";"

is for?  If so (and if you think this would be a good way for me to handle 
this), could someone please show me how to do it?  All my experiments have 
failed.

Many thanks for your help,

I need to get an EDITME that is set-up for SCO Xenix 2.3.3 so that I can

The docs make mention of sample configuration files that can be used,
however, they seem to be missing in this source.

At the moment e-mail seems to get lost in the never-never land and
doesn't get here. Try using the address in the .sig, and if that doesn't
work, I guess the only solution is a post to this newsgroup.

To finish off the package I will be using ELM 2.3 PL11. 

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance..

USENET doesn't have mail, just newsgroups.  If you meant UUCP, yes.

Since the CIX is part of the IP-connected Internet[*], it's certainly
possible to send mail from Internet sites to CIX-member-network sites.

EFF is on Alternet; Alternet is a CIX member; I get email from non-CIX
network sites all the time (too much, sometimes ;-).

IMHO, the CIX is the "real" Internet and the sections that have
Acceptable Use Policies, though they're sometimes faster, are by their
very nature "unreal" since they're not all-encompassing.

[*] Well, mostly.  Some parts of the CIX member networks are not
directly reachable from networks that need to traverse the NSFNET.  Long
story.

Hello,

I'd like to know what form of e-mail access is openly available
in South Africa. By "openly available" I don't meen "free", but
rather "available without any excesive use restrictions" (such
as "academia only", etc.). Something like what UUNET runs in 
the US.

My [older] @!%:: (or whatever it is) book only shows a FidoNet

there, along with the lifting of some of the trade restrictions, 
things may have changed...

Anyone in South Africa reading this?

There's more than "the bitnet" involved here!
A single copy of the posting probably went, over BITNET, across the Atlantic,
to LISTSERV@BARILVM (a.k.a. VM.BIU.AC.IL), along with a list of European IDs
to which the posting was to be delivered, including the recipient, who has
forwarded the E-mail to the 'POSTMAN4' account.  So, LISTSERV@BARILVM
passed a copy of the posting to 'SMTP@VM.BIU.AC.IL', and eventually
the mailer-daemon at RULMVS.LeidenUniv.NL (a.k.a. HLERUL2), generated
the "bounce" message.  All the routing information which got the piece
of E-mail to RULMVS has been preserved, so the "bounce" message takes
the inverse route of the original message, which routes it back through
Israel, since it arrived via Israel.   Not "stupid" at all!

Uggg. You probably put iron rimmed wagon wheels on your car, too.

Perl follows:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

# I am tired of mail's format and speed (lack of).

$mail = "/usr/spool/mail/@ENV{'USER'}";
if( $#ARGV == 0 ) { $mail = shift; }

open( MAIL, $mail ) || die "No mail for you.\n";

    while( <MAIL> ) {

	if( eof ) { exit 0; }

	do {
		$pathfrom = $1;
		$status = $from = $subject = "";

		while( <MAIL> ) {
			chop;
			$from = $' if /^From: /;
			$subject = $' if /^Subject: /;
			$status = $' if /^Status: /;
			last if /^$/;
		}

		$_ = $from;
		$from = $1 if /(<\S+>)/;
		$from = "<$1>" if /([\w-\.]+)\s+\(/;

		$status = "N" if $status eq "";
		
		$line = sprintf ("%2s %2d: %s From: %s (%s)", 
			$status, $count, $subject, $from, $pathfrom);
		print substr($line, 0, 75);
		print "\n";

That's what happened, it seems that thorin.att.com did pop up after
thorin.swb.de. But there could be a dozen thorin.fully.qualified.domain
systems out there, if the mailers were set up correctly.

Amen! I (putting on my domain master hat for swb.de) did complain to the
postmaster of AT&T (att.att.com to be precise) and he told me that they
don't have a system called thorin and thus the one found in the uucp maps
(thorin, thorin.swb.de, thorin.swb.sub.org) was used.
I complained about this, uhm, unwise rerouting and asked him to locate and
register the very real thorin.att.com but haven't receive an answer 'till
now. A week has passed, and some more bounces have made their way through
here...

The best solution for this particular problem would be a mailer at
att.att.com that bounces mail to unknown FQD addresses in the att.com
domain instead of trying to be an oh-so intelligent being (which mother
nature hasn't managed to come up with in hundred million years of
evolution ;-).

This may be a FAQ, but I'm new at this.

Is there a tool or mailer that can automatically sort incoming messages into
one of a number of folders?


This is what I want:   when mail comes in, and it's not on the list of
of addresses/people that the program knows how to deal with, it asks me
"What mailbox do you want to save this mail to?".  After that, whenever
mail from that person comes, it gets saved to that mailbox automagically.
Sort of like aliases, but for incoming mail.

This seems like a common thing to do.

Right now, I'm using something called "procmail", but it's rather ugly
and hard to use. I have to manually edit a file with some horrible
regexp syntax, etc.

Whenever I see a message, I can figure out right away what category it
should go under, but this is something that surely can't be instantiated
into rules.  For example, responses to usenet postings.


I don't read this group, so please email to
