- ; DEFAULTS.PM
- ;
- ; Sample default configuration file for Pmail 2.3.
- ; (c) 1992, David Harris, All Rights Reserved.
- ;
- ; NOTE: this file has been renamed to DEFAULTS.PM~ in the
- ; distribution archive to avoid potential problems in
- ; installation. If you use this file, make sure you
- ; rename it to DEFAULTS.PM.
- ;
- ; DEFAULTS.PM allows you to create a limited form of "default
- ; user profile". If it exists, it must be found in the same
- ; directory as PMAIL.EXE. It is a simple text file consisting
- ; of comments (any blank line, or line starting with a semi-
- ; colon, space or tab) and keyword/parameter sets. Parameters
- ; can contain "command substitutions", or special character
- ; sequences which are replaced with other values at run-time.
- ; Command substitution is discussed in detail in the User-
- ; defined gateway manual UDG.TXT in UDG.ZIP with this archive.
- ; However, you will commonly use the following substitutions:
- ;
- ; ~8 replaced by the first 8 chars in the username
- ; ~b replaced by the user's bindery ID (a long Hex value).
- ;
- ; Pmail 2.33 recognises the following keywords:
- ;
- ; homebox Where the user's home mailbox should be placed.
- ; If the directory does not exist Pmail will offer to
- ; create it.
- ;
- ; copyself Y, N, or P - the user's default value for copy-
- ; to-self. P forces Pmail to prompt for the value at
- ; send time.
- ;
- ; scratch A work area, in which the user has full rights.
- ; If you do not define a TMP or TEMP variable on your
- ; system, you should provide a value for this, or else
- ; external editors and some browser commands may fail.
- ;
- ; password Y or N, if the user's NetWare password should
- ; be required at startup.
- ;
- ; MHSApp The default MHS application name for users.
- ; Use this field if you want PMail to search another
- ; mailer's mhs new mail directory by default.
- ;
- ; Other values may be added in future versions.
-
-
- ; First, define a home mailbox location: in the following
- ; example setting, a user called DAVID will have his home
- ; mailbox path set to "C:\MAIL\DAVID". A user called
- ; TWASHINGTON will have it set to "C:\MAIL\TWASHING".
-
- homebox c:\mail\~8
-
- ; Now, set a scratch area: in this example we'll set the
- ; scratch area to the user's mailbox in SYS:MAIL. Note that
- ; although we could use NetWare syntax for this, some
- ; programs might not accept it when it was passed to them,
- ; so we use a regular DOS path instead.
-
- scratch Z:\MAIL\~B
-
- ; Now we'll tell Pmail to prompt the user for copy-
- ; to-self at send time.
-
- copyself P
-
- ; We could also force Pmail to verify the user's identity
- ; at startup by prompting for his NetWare password by adding
- ; the line:
- ;
- ; password Y
- ;
- ; But we won't bother in this sample.
-
- ; Lastly, since everyone at our site currently uses
- ; the Coordinator (tm- Action Technologies), we'll
- ; tell PMail to search the Coordinator's new mail
- ; directory by default: this saves us reinstalling
- ; every user on the system.
