Nothing special.  If you run CONFIGURE.COM and tell it you are on Internet and
BITNET and use your Internet hostname for the official local host then this is
exactly the configuration you will get.  After all, nothing unusual here, this
is what most Internet+BITNET sites want.

CONFIGURE also asks if you want a default domain appended to TCP/IP host names
which can make shortform names default to .PSU.EDU.  Finally, PMDF knows about
all BITNET nodes and will not confuse them with local shortform host names.

Both the HOST and HOST.BITNET forms will continue to work.  This is part of
the reason why PMDF uses XMAILER.NAMES.  If you want to make .BITNET required
so that USER@HOST can never be directed to a BITNET host even if there
is one named "HOST" then you can easily do that as well (but it isn't the
default).  To do this, run CONFIGURE, answer the questions as I outlined
above (taking the defaults to nearly all questions will get you what you're
looking for) but say "NO" when it asks if BITNET_DOMAINS should be run "now".
Once CONFIGURE finishes, edit PMDF_ROOT:[TABLE]BITNET_DOMAINS_DRIVER.COM and
add a parameter setting:

    $ BITNET_LOCAL_CHANNELS == "bit_local/bit_gateway"

This makes BITNET shortform names valid only on the channels that handle
incoming BITNET messages, where shortform names must be recognized.
Messages originating on any other channel will require the .BITNET suffix.

I just set up a NOTES conference fed by a PMDF NOTES channel.  Attached is an
example of a note posted to that channel.  Everything seems to be working as
advertised.  [Thanks.  It's nice when that happens.]

I have what's probably an enhancement request, though if it turns out I can do
what I want with PMDF 4.1 that'd be wonderful.

NOTES has the ability to send mail to a note's author using SEND/AUTHOR or
FORWARD/AUTHOR.  The way that the NOTES are posted the author is SYSTEM.  What
I'd like is some way to make mail sent to ``/AUTHOR'' get sent to the person
who sent the original mail.

Would NOTES allow you to set the author field to the IN% construct that's
currently placed in the personal name field?  If so, I'd really like a way to
tell PMDF to do that.  If not, is there some other mechanism that could be
provided to support this funcationality?

Thanks - Bob Tinkelman <bob@camb.com>

        Can the use of diskkeeping and -caching products like
        PerfectDisk and I/O-Express on disks that are (partially)
        exported by Multinet NFS potentially result in corrupted
        files and data?

We are looking at getting a CC:Mail site license for supporting PCs and Macs.
We are considering using either their SMTP gateway (there is no charge) or
using PMDF (which we already have).  What I am interested in is the details
of how people have attached their CC:Mail post offices to the CC:Mail channel
in PMDF.  Did you use NFS, Netware for VSM ...?

We are using UCX 2.0 on the PMDF system so are considering using PC-NFS on a PC
which will run the export/import.  How are others doing this?  How are you
running the export/import procedures?  Bat jobs?

Any feedback and how well it works would be appreciated.
Examples of any reqrite rules used would be nice.
We like to use aliases and reverse maps to make everyone appear to be
user@mc.duke.edu even though they may xxx%node@mc.duke.edu or worse.
How does this affect things?

Has anyone tried CC:Mail's SMTP gateway?  How well or bad does it work.

Thanks in advance,

-Jim

First of all, you're correct in saying that the creation of the files
MAIL.TXT and $HDRS$MAIL.TXT were responsible for PMDF starting to use Multinet
MM to deliver to your account. Someone or something must have created these
files; PMDF never creates Multinet MM files of this sort for you.

I have no idea who or what created the files. All it takes is someone
accidentally running Multinet MM and saying YES to the first question it
asks. It is very unfortunate that this is all it takes to switch to Multinet
MM but that's the way TGV chose to do it. There's nothing we can do about it.

We have been reverse mapping all mail through our PMDF node for sometime now.
One side affect I noticed was that mail going out our Bitnet link to listservs
would result in the listserv sending a file (sometimes mail) back to the
sending ID (as we are directly on the Bitnet).  When the file arrives, JNET
sees that this user does not exist on the local system and sends the file to
Postmaster (as defined in the JNET startup).  I have written a simple DCL
program that grabs all files in the postmaster area, looks to whom each was
really sent, and forwards them on as an e-mail message.

Is anyone else doing anything like this?
Are there any plans for PMDF to support this?
I have not played with JNET's API stuff, but am sure something that is less of
a hack can be done.  Anyone do this?

I have not even contemplating supporting anything but text files (have not
needed to so far).  This might be an interesting thing for PMDF to do.  It
coulld take the incoming files and put them into Mime parts?

As an example, user X on system Y would normally have a return address
of x%y@dukemc, but we rewrite it do standard_id@dukemc and send it out.
A listserv sends back directly to standard_id@dukemc.  For mail this works out
fine as a corresponding alias of standard_id@dukemc gets rewritten to x%y.
However, incoming Bitnet files never get touched by PMDF.  As there is no VMS
account standard_id on our system. the file is delivered to postmaster.


Thanks in advance,

  All of a sudden, at 5:48:22 a.m. (-0400) on Dec. 26, my mail began to be
delivered using MultiNet MM instead of VMS mail.  I assume this is when it
happened because that is the creation date on the files $HDRS$MAIL.TXT and
MAIL.TXT in my SYS$LOGIN directory which I understand are the MM mail files.
The last mail message that was delivered via VMS mail was just nine seconds
earlier, at 5:48:13.  Both the :13 and the :22 messages were from the PMDF
message bouncer job (it doesn't run here until 3:30 a.m., and it had a lot of
messages to process).
  So far as I know I did nothing explicit to cause this change.  I'm pretty
sure I was home asleep at the time.  I'd like to know what happened and how I
can prevent it from happening again.

I had a problem at a site running DECUS UUCP.  I may not have
enough information for you to identify the problem.  If not,
I guess I'll have to wait for the problem to reoccur, but I
thought I'd post this on the chance it's a known problem.

Sometime Friday afternoon something went wrong with the UUCP
batch jobs.  [I'm not sure what.  I was a little too quick to
blow them away and resubmit them to get things running.]  Note,
these are the jobs that comprise DECUS UUCP, *not* PMDF's
channel programs.  Subsequent to that two different vn_xxxx
master batch jobs ran.  Both hung, I think at the point they
were trying to wake UUCP.

Before I killed the uucp batch jobs, I deleted the two vn_xxxx
jobs.  They were replaced by the next two on the queue which
also hung.  When I killed the uucp jobs everything freed up.

Sorry I didn't capture the various logs.  As I said above,
if the problem isn't easily identifyable from this description
I'll try to gather more information if it reoccurs.

Thanks

There is a huge bug in ATTMail that causes it to reject MIME messages.
ATT is aware of the problem but (obviously) has not fixed it yet.

The only workaround I know of for this in PMDF is to configure a special
channel for connecting to attmail.com that uses a header option file
to strip the relevant MIME header (Content-type:).

I don't know who to contact at ATT to complain about this -- doubtless someone
else on this list will know the specifics. Any additional information about
this problem that has come up since the last time it was discussed on this
list would also be appreciated.

As far as we know PMDF V4.0 works fine with VMS 5.5 and UCX 2.0. PMDF V4.1
is the current supported version, however; if you encounter any problems
with V4.0 you will have to upgrade to V4.1 to resolve them. V4.1 has been
available for over 6 months now.

UCX 2.0 comes with its own SMTP server. This has to be disabled so that
PMDF's SMTP server can run properly. You don't want to use the UCX SMTP
server in any case since it does not integrate properly with the rest of
PMDF. Once it is disabled everything should be fine; PMDF's server works
correctly with UCX V2.0.

Being a long term user of Mailserv, from before it was a supported
channel within PMDF, I had pretty much ignored the various postings
about problems/solutions that have appeared, not realizing that I
was having the same.  I was thrown a bit to receive the following
in response to a send/list:

> You are not authorized to obtain the contents of list SADUG-L
> Use the HELP command to get a list of legal MAILSERV commands.

Now I place myself at the mercy of the list asking someone to
get me over this hump and other similar problems that you think
I might encounter.  [I do seem to be able to sub, unsub and
retrieve files.]

(I have replaced the site name by the word "site" in all addresses above, and
the person's A1 username by "the user".)

I would have expected the reply address for this message to be some sort of
postmaster address for the site, is this configurable in All-In-One or PMDF-PR?

What version of TPU?  I haven't examined this in detail but your patterns look ok.  Why not try:

 ( (span("0123456789") + "."                      + notany("dD")) ! aa.X
 | (span("0123456789") + "." + span("0123456789") + notany("dD")) ! aa.bbX
 | (                     "." + span("0123456789") + notany("dD")))!   .bbX

and report the results.

You can use partial pattern assignment on your patterns to see who is matching what.

Hello!

I am converting a fortran code from single to double precision on a VAX.  I 
a TPU routine that searches for constants in the program by using the following
patterns

	aaaa.bbbbbX
	    .bbbbbX
	aaaa.X

	aaaa any number of digits
	bbbb any number of digits
	X any character except d,D

and puts the cursor on the end of a line where the pattern was found.

I came up with the following patterns:

predig:=span('0123456789');			<--- for aaaa
posdig:=anchor&span('0123456789');		<--- for bbbb
per:='.';					<--- for .
exp:=anchor&(notany('dD')|line_end);		<--- for X

find :=((predig&per&exp)|(per&posdig&exp)|(predig&per&posdig&exp));

However the above does detect numbers like 123.12D00, ie if I have more than one
digit after the period followed by D.

Is that because in posdig anchor forces the span to match only one character?
How do I go around that?  The program has 10000 (10^4) lines.


Also, how do I put a cursor on the end of a range?

Thanks.

I have taught LSE a fair amount of latex, almost all of bibtex and all the
programming constructs of idl.  Bugs probably still exist.

I can provide LSE files for the above, and wouldn't mind some input/discussion
regarding updates/maintenance/etc of the above.
