Short: SMTP sender for UUCP spool mail jobs -- needs amitcp inet-handler
Author: Ignatios Souvatzis <is@beverly.rhein.de>
Uploader: Ignatios Souvatzis <is@beverly.rhein.de>
Type: comm/net
This is a REXX program to send away via SMTP mail jobs found in the UUCP
spool area for a certain mail gateway named on the command line.
It will allow you to use the UUCP spooling mechanism with your Internet
mail, or send mail away while IP is running, if you operate mixed UUCP
and IP (as I do).
It was developed and tested by me with OS2.04, later OS3.1, and
AmiTCP3.0b2; one of my betatesters had AmiTCP 2.x I think, and didn't
complain.
REQUIREMENTS:
- REXX and rexxsupport.library (don't know whether pre-OS2.04 versions
will do)
- AmiTCP with inet-handler mounted.
- wUUCP 0.0.29. Older version should do it as well. Don't know about
older UUCP packages.
INSTALLATION
Edit the file with your favourite text editor:
in the configuration variables section near the top:
- change the host variable in the script to your mail gateway
- if your modem is faster than 14400 bps, make the bufsize bigger.
- if your modem is slower than 14400 bps, make the bufsize smaller.
- if you want lots of debugging output, set debug to 1
save, exit, copy uucp2smtp and the icon to some convenient place.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
AmiTCP 3.0b2's inet-handler (or Kernel) has a bug which lets any program
sending masses of bulk data through it choke once the socket send queue
gets full. I have throttled this program to 1 kBytes/s (seems usable
most of the time with 14400 bps modems); you can configure the data rate
with the bufsize variable near the top of the script.
The AmiTCP-group has promised to work on the problem.
