- The package consists of two major parts: ifgate (gateway programs,
- analog of FidoNet tosser/packer), and ifcico (transport agent, analog of
- FidoNet mailer), each in its own subdirectory. Routines common to these
- programs are in the iflib subdirectory. In the top-level subdirectory
- are: README (this file), CONFIG (your system configuration definition)
- and top-level Makefile. There is also a "misc" subdirectory with
- examples of configuration, some useful scripts, FAQ list etc.
-
- Each of the subdirectories (ifgate, ifcico, iflib and misc) contains its
- own README file, refer to them for more technical detailes.
-
- To install the package, edit the CONFIG file to match your configuration
- and run "make" and (if you are satisfied) "make install".
-
- Currently, the package should be considered BETA, use it on your own
- risk.
-
- There is a mailing list for ifmail-related discussions. To subscribe,
- send mail to: <ifmail-request@fidogate.nuars.nwu.edu> (this is a live
- person, not a listserv program). It is supposed that it will carry
- latest updates in addition to discussions, so you may wish to subscribe,
- to be on the bleeding edge. Special thanks to H. Peter Anvin for
- maintaing this list.
