I think those are the main things I need to worry about. Any > thoughts? Is UUPC an appropriate tool for this? You're being much too weird about about the message processing, but yes, UUPC/extended will do it. Don't use a DOS PC, use a decent sized OS/2, or Windows NT system so it can run UUCICO to handle the phone and run UUXQT to process initial processing of the messages at the same time and you can monitor system operation at the same time. This also a more robust server platform to allow sharing the spool directory if you do want other system. Windows 95 may also work, the NT binaries will work, but 95 is not as robust a platorm. > It appears that the mail file that's created is fairly easy to > break down and if I want to create my own automated outbound > messages, it shouldn't be difficult. Is this a correct evaluation? No. You don't even want to process the mail file, you want to have RMAIL's gateway support (see docs on hostpath file parameters) to pass the mail directly into your program to process. It will include the full address on the command line. For outbound messages, just invoke RMAIL either in -t or -w mode, depending how you want messages generated. -ahd- -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-641-3452 To sign off from uupc-info, send the command "signoff uupc-info" in the body of a message to listserv@kew.com.

To: UUPC/Extended mailing list Hi all, I'm trying to get UUPC set up with Windows NT 3.51. Can anyone suggest a good site where I can find UUPC-friendly mail readers or other compatible tools for NT? In particular, I've been trying to find something that can read a UUPC-format mail file (as created by rmail). I've gone hunting for NT mail readers, but most of them only seem to support POP3 connections via WinSock. I've used ELM under OS/2 with a fair amount of success, but I can't find a NT version of anything that just reads from a local mail spool. I've even gone so far as to try WinElm for Win 3.x, but I couldn't make it look in the right place to find my .mbx file, and it seemed pretty slow anyway. Any ideas?

To: Drew Derbyshire - UUPC/extended Support , It seems like people have used uupc in a variety of scenarios; how about.... I have a cluster of PCs running SMTP mail (e.g. Eudora, ..) which I would like to have a local PC mail-host which would collect mail from these machines, and also act as a POP3 server for them. Thus, they would sent mail by SMTP and reeive it by POP, all via a local PC machine. This mail host would then use uucp to bridge mail to the outside world; in this case a UNIX box on a TCP/IP network. Basically this would allow a remote cluster of machines which are not directly TCP/IP connected to use standard (SMTP/POP) mwil tools. The big advantage here is standard tools and interfaces for allusers, and just varying underlying MTA (Mail Transport Agent) mechanisms. I have seen PC/Windows based POP3 servers, is it easy to interface these to uupc? Also; for a simplest case, can one use uupc as a MTA program like this on a single machine, i.e. "standard" mail tools, coerced to spool mail to an underlying UUPC MTA program?

Managed by an alias which filters mail through awk to strip off the string of CtlA's which UUPC puts in to separate messages. Other mailers barf at this. Outgoing mail is held by fooling NTMail that its on a dial up (which it is, but not SMTP) and then periodically checking the outgoing directory for messages. Each is held by NTMail as a single file.mbx + file.wrk. The file.mbx's are kicked into UUPC by RMAIL, and the .wrk's removed. I would prefer to have NTMail automatically pass them to UUPC, but it doesn't have an outgoing maildrop facility (only incoming). WinPmail (Pegasus) provides the mailer. Looked at Alamito - quite nice, but not what I wanted. THis all runs well. Wishlist; - automatic drop from SMTP server to UUPC via executing rmail or similar - ability to dial out if there is outgoing mail sitting in the box to shorten the outgoing delivery time (UUPC I guess). Alternatively, a better AT/CRON on NT which does what its supposed to properly !! Hope this helps -- (Dr.) David V.

The seqf file, renamed to spool\seqf.dat in recent releases, is the counter for spool files generated. This one sequence is used for all spool files for all outbound sites you connect to, and also for the VMail queue support. In other news -- ftp.clarkson.edu is now fully loaded with the files. Enjoy. The listserv is running about 24 hours behind on requests. (I only let it spit out about 500K per hour during the day, and 1M per hour at night. We've shipped about 35M via our feed, pioneer, this week already.) As noted in the docs, anonymous UUCP is faster per byte and if you can connect at all (not hard, we have two modems finally), you blow past the entire backlog. -ahd- -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-641-3452 To sign off from uupc-info, send the command "signoff uupc-info" in the body of a message to listserv@kew.com.

I'm developing SMTP & POP3 services for UUPC/Extended (Win32 version), since I'm getting close to release I would like a few more beta-testers. The reason I started on this was the lack of good mail-readers that works properly with UUPC/Extended. On the other hand there was a lot of good SMTP/POP3 based mailreaders. There is some nice SMTP & POP3 servers around for Windows NT, but none I found so far allows using UUCP to bridge email to the Internet. Information about SMTP & POP3 Service for UUPC/Extended: * Both programs runs as native NT services (Intel only!), allowing everyone in your LAN to access mail by SMTP/POP3. No one needs to be logged on at the server. * External mail to/from the Internet will be provided by UUPC/Extended (UUCP feed is usually a very cost-effective way to send/receive email) * Email security is provided by UUPC/Extended - SMTP will not accept mail from users not defined in UUPC/Extended (This includes incoming mail by SMTP from other domains) - POP3 will read the UUPC/Extended PASSWD for username/password security * All administration is done in UUPC/Extended. * Tested with the most popular mailreaders (Pegaus, Eudora etc) * Allows posting of mail from popular newsreaders, like WinVn and Free Agent * Release product will also run on Windows 95 If you find this interesting and wants to beta-test this software, please send me the following information by email to stigk@computec.no - Name/Organization - Contact person, email address - Number of users - Version of Windows NT on UUPC server. You will need the following to get started: * Windows NT with a working UUPC/Extended installation. * TCP/IP network protocol installed and working properly. (TCP/IP comes in the box with Windows NT) Best regards, -- Stig Ronald Kristiansen Computec AS, Postbox 3, 7340 Oppdal, Norway Phone: +47 72422270, Fax: +47 72420840, email: stigk@computec.no ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Nov 1995 21:03:42 +0000 From: ash@trellick.gn.apc.ORG Subject: Where has the news gone?
