- sendmail-remote.2.0
- 29 August 1996
-
- Original Author: Carl Edman <cedman@princeton.edu>
-
- Current Maintainer: Timothy J. Luoma <luomat@nerc.com>
-
- WHAT IT DOES:
- Using 'rsh', this script will allow you to run 'sendmail'
- on a machine other than your own (assuming you have 'rsh'
- permissions on that machine, usually via an '.rhosts' file)
-
- HOW TO USE IT:
- When you 'gunzip' the file, you will get a file named:
-
- sendmail-MY.MAILHUB.HOSTNAME.HERE
-
- RENAME that file to 'sendmail-hostname' where 'hostname' is
- the name of the host which you want to use. For example,
- if you worked for NeXT and wanted to use their machine, you
- might call this script:
-
- sendmail-mail.next.com
-
- Or if your ISP had a machine you could use called
- "powerful.isp.com" you would call this script
- "sendmail-powerful.isp.com"
-
- Once you have renamed the file, make sure it is executable
- (chmod 755 /path/to/the/file, for example) and place it in
- some folder/directory of your choosing. /usr/local/bin or
- ~/Unix/bin might be good choices.
-
- THEN, go to Mail.app Preferences->Expert Preferences. Go
- to the "Mailer" preference (it probably says
- "/usr/lib/sendmail" currently) and enter the FULL ABSOLUTE
- PATH to the script (that means no using "~" in the path!!!)
-
- BUGS/WARNINGS/NOTES:
-
- 1-10) Use at your own risk
-
- 11) I've tried to make this as idiot-proof as possible, but
- one can only do so much when one is trying to figure
- out what others might do. If for some reason it
- can't run sendmail on the remote host, it will run
- sendmail on the local host (sendmail better be found
- in /usr/lib for that to work!!!) which means that
- no mail SHOULD ever be lost. However, unexpected
- things do happen.
-
- 12) Per usual, I have put in many, many comments in the script
-
- 13) I have a pretty neat way of dealing with dynamic IP's and
- an .rhosts file using 'procmail', if anyone's interested,
- let me know.
-
- 14) There is no point #14
-
- 15) Carl Edman knows nothing of this new release. However I have
- kept his name associated with it, and am not charging
- any $$ for this.
-
- 16) There is no point #16
-
- 17) This was originally part of Carl's 'mailapp-utilities' package
- which can be found at:
- ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/binaries/mail/mailapp-utilities.1.5.NIHS.bs.tar.gz
