Short: Sendmail (based on smail V2.5)
Type: comm/mail
Uploader: aussem@mavhh.hanse.de
Author: aussem@mavhh.hanse.de
The Smail program replaces Dillons sendmail to become the UUCP mail
transport mechanism. This Smail is based on Unix Smail V2.5. I adapt
some Unix function (like getloginname() getuid() etc.) to the Amiga and
added some extensions (like BSMTP etc.)
I tried to secure that Smail has the same parameters than Dillons
sendmail so that your script files/programs that call sendmail still
works.
I decided to publish the source files so that everybody can adapt Smail
to his own environment (e.g BBS programs or Networks). If you send your
changes back to me I will insert them into the "official" distribution.
Features:
o complete substitute for Dillons sendmail
o using paths file for UUCP routing
o re-routing of addresses according to the paths file
o mail forwarding for users (~/.forward and uumail:<user>)
o nearly command line compatible with Dillon's sendmail
(except -raw)
o Return-To-Receipt recognition
o returning undeliverable mails to sender and postmaster
of your host
o support of the standard Getty, MultiUserFileSystem and
AXSh passwd files
o smarthost option if your map files are not perfect :-)
o easy setup of a mailing list via alias include files
o extended log files
o accepts the following addresses
- bang paths (e.g host1!host2!user)
- @ addresses (e.g user@host1)
- user%site%site.domain@domain
- domain!site.domain%site%user
o BSMTP (Batch Simple Mail Transport Protocol)
o Checking local users permission to send mail
via UUCP/BSMTP
o call uux (instead of writing directly in uuspool)
o source files available
o docs in AmigaGuide format
o Installer script
o only runs with OS2.0 or higher
Special requirements:
* At least Kickstart and Workbench 2.04.
* DillonUUCP or AUUCP+ environment
