-
- This utility is very similar to "rsend", allowing messages to be sent
- to different users on different machines. "rsend" was, in turn based
- on "send" which use the SMTP SEND commands for message delivery (see
- RFC 821). "msend" implements the UMTP protocol described in
- "Protocol" with other enhancements to make life easier on the user.
- See the accompanying man page for details.
-
- Simple instructions for installation are in "Configuration".
-
- With regards to portability, the current version of msend was compiled
- and tested on the following machines:
-
- Machine OS
- --------------- -------------
- Sun 3 SunOS 4.0.3,4.1.1
- Sun 4 (& clones) SunOS 4.0.3,4.1,4.1.1,4.1.2
- Sun 386i SunOS 4.0.2
- SGI 4D/25 IRIX 3.0
- SGI Indigo IRIX 4.0
- IBM R/6000 AIX 3.1.5, 3.1.6, 3.2
- HP Series 700 HP-UX 8.01 (?)
- Convex C220 ConvexOS Release V9.1
- DEC DECStation ULTRIX 4.2
- DG DG/UX 5.4
- 386 Box SCO UNIX/ODT 1.1
- 486 Box BSDI 0.9.4
-
- Older versions have run on:
-
- Machine OS
- --------------- -------------
- Encore Multimax UMAX 4.2 R3.1
- Sun 2 SunOS 3.2, 3.5
- VAX 11/750 4.3 BSD UNIX
-
- msend should run on any machine that has BSD networking support with
- few changes and can be modified quickly to use other reliable
- networking systems.
