UULIB:Config entries:
NodeName The name by which you want to call your
machine. Suggested 7 chars max.
UserName Your 'user' name. e.g. dillon. This is
where Mail, DMail, and From use as a
default for your user name.
RealName Your full name. e.g. Matthew Dillon. Used
by sendmail (which is run from Mail or
DMail)
Debug Used by us source hackers
NewsFeed Which remote machine should outgoing
news be sent to? This is NOT a full
domain name, just an immediately
adjacent site name.
Organization Your organization, if any (for News)
Filter Foreground filter program (to display a
file). Output expected to go through
stdout. Used by MAN if RFilter does not
exist.
RFilter Background filter program (that can be
RUNd to display a file)
MailEditor The editor DMail uses.
NewsEditor The editor postnews uses
DomainName The domain of your machine, usually .UUCP
This is automatically tacked on to the
mail headers when you mail out or mail
is routed through your machine.
TimeZone PST,PDT, etc... Currently only US timezones
are implemented. Used to calculate GMT
time from local time for use in mail headers.
DefaultNode Normally set to an immediately adjacent
USENET node. IF YOU CAN CONNECT TO MORE
THAN ONE OTHER USENET NODE REFER TO
MAN:DOMAINS FOR INFORMATION ON SELECTING
WHICH NODE AN ADDRESS GETS ROUTED THROUGH.
Example: 'sorinc.UUCP' if I talk
directly to sorinc.
You may also specify explicit paths
as long as the very first machine is
directly adjacent to you (you can call
directly).
------------- new for 1.05 -----------
MailReadyCmd Command to run to bring up 'you have new
mail' requester ... see the example Config
file.
NewsReadyCmd Not fully implemented yet.
--
all of these below allow you to specify
explicitly where the given executable
lies via a full path. Any config entry
below that exists will use that path,
else will assume the executables lies
somewhere in your command path.
Uux these programs are those which are run
Sendmail automatically by other programs and thus
Postnews you might wish to place them in a directory
Uuxqt not included in your normal command path
RMail so you don't run them accidently.
CUnbatch
RNews
--
------------- new for 1.06 -----------
RNewsDebug If this variable exists and is non-zero, files
received by RNews are copied to alternate
storage (UUAltSpool), allowing easy debugging
of batched news.
------------- new for 1.07 -----------
ModemInit Same format as the 'send' portion of a
send-expect string. May be used to initialize
the modem before dialing.
AutoBatch This config entry need only exist. The config
entry should be set to 'autobatch'. That is:
AutoBatch autobatc
If this config entry exists, posted news is
IMMEDIATELY batched for transfer. This entry
is useful if you do not propogate news because
you do not have to worry about running
BatchNews manually.
Timeout Specify timeout on Connect .. default is 60
seconds. This config entry need not exist.
MaxRMailLen Specify maximum size a 'C rmail' line can be
in an X. file. If not specified or specified
as 0, only a single mail address is allows on
the rmail line. If > 0, then multiple mail
addresses (you are sending a piece of mail
to multiple recipients) are generated until
the buffer limit is reached, then restarted
with a new queue file.
ENVIROMENT VARIABLES: (ENV: type)
USERNAME overides Config UserName entry.
REALNAME overides Config RealName entry.
