- WHAT IS DELIVER?
-
-
- Deliver is a program which delivers electronic mail once it has arrived
- at a given machine.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is my port of Deliver to linux. I use it with the version of elm
- and sendmail that Nathan Laredo (nathan@laredo.eas.gatech.edu) put on
- sunsite.unc.edu. He was also kind enough to put up a version of
- delivermail, but I couldn't get it to work. It compiled rather cleanly;
- I only made a few changes. You might want to browse though the Makefile
- and config.h, though, and change a few pathnames. I also used the adage
- "When in doubt, comment it out!" so I don't make any guarantees that this
- works and I take no responsibility if something Bad(tm) happens. I
- included the source that was used to create the executabes in this tar file.
- I would include diffs against the original source, but that distribution
- had a bunch of patches that needed to be applied already. You can get
- the virgin source that I used from:
- wuarchive.wustl.edu:/mirrors/unix-c/mail/deliver.tar-z
- If it matters, I used GCC 2.2.2d with 4.1 jump libs.
-
- How to install:
- Either do a make install
- or
- cp deliver /bin/
- chown root.mail /bin/deliver
- chmod 4711 /bin/deliver
- cp header /bin/header
- chmod 755 /bin/header
-
- You also have to change one line in your sendmail.cf file. Change this line:
- Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=rlsDFMmn, S=10, R=20, A=mail $u
- to:
- Mlocal, P=/bin/deliver, F=rlsDFMmn, S=10, R=20, A=deliver $u
-
- If you have trouble with sendmail.cf, I suggest that you do what I did:
- borrow one from another machine that you use. If you are at a university,
- you probably won't have to make any drastic changes. Nathan included one
- in his distribution, also.
-
- Any comment, suggestions, or flames can be directed to me.

- I wanted groovy. :(
- If for some reason this mail bounces send it to either
- donadio@wilbur.psu.edu <--- SparcII, cool, but slow
- mxd120@psuvm.psu.edu <--- VM/CMS, blech!
