INetUtils 1.3 -- March 16, 1994
Copyright 1992 - 1994 by Michael B. Smith (mbs@adastra.cvl.va.us).
All Rights Reserved.
INetUtils is a series of programs designed to allow an Amiga running AS-225
beta 2.0 software (i.e., socket.library capable) or AmiTCP 2.2 (or above) to
interact and operate as fully functioning members of an IP network, including
the global InterNet.
INetUtils is freely distributable.
The utility programs consist of:
SMTPd : an SMTP daemon
SMTPpost : an SMTP posting program
SMTPExpand : an SMTP aliases expanding program
NNTPpost : an NNTP posting program
NNTPXfer : an NNTP article transfer program
newgroup : a maintenance program for use with NNTP
GetActive : an NNTP active file transfer program
AmiPOP : a POP message handler
Sabot : A newmail activity program
a NNTPd is in development, but is not included in this archive.
The following man pages are included:
SMTPd.man
SMTPpost.man
SMTPExpand.man
NNTPpost.man
NNTPxfer.man
GetActive.man
and describe the operation of each program.
To install INetUtils, see the document named INSTALL included in this
archive.
For basic help in getting SMTPd running, the following script is also
included:
StartSMTPd
which is heavily commented.
AmiPOP and Sabot were developed by Scott Ellis (sellis@ucssun1.sdsu.edu)
and all communication regarding them should be directed to him. Separate
documentation regarding them is included in the AmiPOP and Sabot archives.
To properly utilize the NNTP capability requires an NNTP aware newsreader
and a mailreader. The 'G' package is presented to meet this need.
GRn is Gadtools Read News, which can properly read and post with articles
via NNTP directly or read with the local directory setup by NNTPXfer, and
post directly using NNTPpost. Documentation is available in AmigaGuide
format (GRn.guide).
GMail, Gadtools Mail, is still in development, and is not included in this
archive.
AmigaELM and the DMail from AmigaUUCP are quite satisfactory for reading mail.
