- Uucp/Fido Mailing List Manager
- Ver 04.08.88 - 0.1.3.beta
-
-
- Ok, gang, here's the current version of my maillist program. It was
- quickly hacked in around 5 hours (and shows it). Several things
- are left the way they are for debugging and will be cleaned up
- when it is working smoothly on several machines.
-
- Maillist will handle a standard uucp style mailing list by bouncing
- mail to a 'special' user to all users listed for that list. It will
- also import and export a mailing list to a fidonet echomail conference.
-
- The 'special' user name, optional echomail subdir and receipient list
- is kept in a file called 'mail.ctl' which should reside in the current
- subdirectory. See the accompaned example for it's format.
-
- Currntly there are no command line switches. Debugging level is fixed
- at full on and no logfiles are kept.
-
-
- Caveats (known 'features' :-)
-
- All messages are processed in the fido format. Conversion to rfc-822
- is done by mailout or fidouucp.
-
- All fidonet kludges are left intact for the time being. I didn't want
- to start playing around with the message until everything else was
- working smoothly. Seen-by's, and other ^a kludges will be stripped
- in the near future.
-
- Any comments on the exported message formats should be directed to
- /dev/null (always wanted to say that :-). Seriously, just let me
- know your gripes, as I'm sure there will be.
-
- Messages probably will be bounced back to the originator of the message
- for the time being. As soon as mailout/fidouucp will punt a domain
- name to the closest site running smail the problem may be resolved.
-
-
- Well that's about it for now, as always let me know what problems/suggestions
- you may have...
-
- Take care,
- Garry.

- starting with '--- ' (three dashes and a space).
-

- hard cr's. now strips Path line as well.
