Version 1.22: Version 1.22 fixes the following problems - * Occasional folder corruption when messages were moved to a folder already open on the desktop. * Occasional lost attachments when moving messages between folders. * PMDFLTS.INI is now properly read even when the user has already run the DOS version of Pegasus Mail. * Problems with the built-in TCP/IP-based mail when the "load on demand" flag was set have been fixed. It also adds two small new features - * When you add an address book entry while a message is open, WinPMail now tries to fill out the new record with information from the message, in much the way the DOS version does. * The address book entry editor now supports the "Recently-used addresses" button found in the message editor window. Version 1.21: * Noticeboard support: the noticeboard feature introduced in Pegasus Mail for DOS v3.11 has now been added to WinPMail. A new toolbar icon is provided for quick access to it. * Floating distribution list manager. Now, when you want to use distribution lists, you can open the Distribution List Window and leave it on your desktop; distribution lists can now be pasted and dragged/dropped like addresses from any other address list. * Address book import/export services, parallel to those in the DOS version of Pegasus Mail (see the "Addressbook" menu while you have an addressbook open). * A new "advanced preferences" menu entry in the preferences menu lets you to configure advanced features in Pegasus Mail, including: - how often WinPMail should scan your new mail box for new mail - your organization and timezone for standalone TCP/IP users - whether or not WinPMail should autoload WINSOCK.DLL at startup - whether WinPMail should generate enclosures or attachments * Enclosure support: traditionally, Pegasus Mail has sent attachments addressed to Internet addresses as separate messages. There are many sound reasons for doing this, but most users seem to find it unintuitive. To get around this, you can now tell Pegasus Mail to generate enclosures instead of attachments. When generating "enclosures", Pegasus Mail simply encodes the attachment onto the end of the message, so only a single message is sent out: if MIME encoding is chosen, Pegasus Mail puts the message and attachments into a single multipart MIME message. Pegasus Mail also now deals with incoming enclosures much more effectively than previous versions. >> Enclosures are enabled in the "Advanced settings" prefences dialog. * Textual INI file for preferences: previous versions of Pegasus Mail used a binary file called WINPMAIL.PRO to store the user's preferences and settings. Starting with WinPMail 1.2 and Pegasus Mail/DOS v3.20, a new textual format is provided which is used by both versions of the program. Highly readable, the new format allows many aspects of the user's preferences to be shared between versions, something which has not previously been possible. The new format also provides near-total control over a user's default settings: by writing or copying an INI file into the same directory as WINPMAIL.EXE using the name PMDFLTS.INI, the system supervisor can provide default settings for almost every aspect of the program's operation, right down to window positions. The INI format also includes useful diagnostic sections generated by the programs which can be helpful in tracking down configuration errors. * The "Prompt for copy-to-self" and "Prompt for copy-to-self folder" options available in the DOS version are now also available in WinPMail. These settings are "sticky" and can be set in the "Special" view of the message editor. * Cosmetic enhancements: users should notice quite a number of cosmetic improvements to the program, including separating rules in most windows, improved bitmaps, and a visual clarification of the function of the "editor", "attachment" and "special" buttons in the message editor. * Annotations: add comments to mail messages (see the "Reader" menu while you are reading a message). * A "telltale" window, which appears while WinPMail is minimized. The telltale reports the number of new messages in your mail folder, and changes to red if new mail has arrived. It can be positioned anywhere on your desktop and can be made to appear "always on top" by checking the control for this in the "Advanced preferences" dialog. The telltale window has three modes, which can be selected by clicking on it. The first simply reports the total number of messages in the new mail folder. The second reports how many messages have arrived since WinPMail was minimized, and the third reports a "summary" of the contents of your new mail folder. * Considerably improved TCP/IP mail services, including: - The ability to define the address Pegasus Mail should use in the From: field of outgoing mail. - More control over TCP/IP timeout values - More robust TCP/IP protocol handling - Periodic and idle-time checking of the POP3 host for new mail - You can now leave your POP3 password blank and Pegasus Mail will prompt you for it at startup. - You can now force all mail through the internal transport. * Statusline help; help messages now appear on the status line as you scroll through menu selections. * You can now drag files from the file manager and drop them onto WinPMail; it will attach the files you drop to the last message you were editing, or if none, will start a new message and attach them to that. * External interface routines: it is now possible to override certain of Pegasus Mail's system-level functions with your own routines - in particular, you can now override Pegasus Mail's default behaviour for 1: finding the username of the user at the current station 2: finding the path to the user's new mail directory 3: finding the directory in which Pegasus Mail should write outgoing mail messages. This change is a prelude to providing full support for NetWare 4.0x and 4.1 in Pegasus Mail and should also make it possible to make Pegasus Mail "network-aware" on other LAN architectures as well. A useful side-effect is the possibility of having all mail stored on a volume other than SYS: under NetWare 3.x and earlier. For more information on this change, see the file PMIF.TXT supplied with this release. * Innumerable bug fixes; the following are the most important: - Problems with attachments from local mail and MHS mail being lost when moved between folders have been fixed. - Pegasus Mail will no longer report "Invalid message format" when mail passes through a PMDF relay and has its headers rearranged. - A change to the way Pegasus Mail responds to confirmation of reading should reduce problems people have had with reading confirmations going to mailing lists. The PMAIL User's Group is a mailing list on which discussion and assistance for Pegasus Mail matters is available. It is operated by the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa - my sincere thanks to James Ford and the Administration of the University for making the service available.

WinPMail version 1.2 supports user-defined gateways, but with some limitations compared with Pegasus Mail/DOS. Validation routines defined for gateways will not work. Gateways which require a program to be run will work, but you may have to fiddle with the Windows icon unless you can run the program from a PIF file. There is no equivalent of PM-MENU.RSC in WinPMail 1.2 to allow you to add items to the menus at this stage. WinPMail 1.2 is the the latest release of Pegasus Mail for Windows, the most recent member of the Pegasus Mail family. It is functionally equivalent to or more advanced than the 3.20 release of the DOS version of Pegasus Mail. Any problems with this version are noted in the next section. If you encounter problems in this version, please report them by electronic mail as follows: Internet: david@pmail.gen.nz CompuServe: >internet:david@pmail.gen.nz WinPMail v1.2 has the following problems or restrictions: While noticeboards are implemented in WinPMail now, no management facilities exist within the program; noticeboard management must be done using a DOS version of Pegasus Mail v3.1 or later. Bitmaps may be slightly misaligned on some Super VGA video systems running at 1024x768; this typically happens if you use a "large font" driver - one which changes the size of the System font. WinPMail no longer has direct support for Windows 3.0; you may be able to get it to run in this environment but no technical support is offered. The <Tab> key has caused me considerable trouble in WinPMail; the Windows standard defines <Tab> as meaning "Advance to the next control on the screen", but most users seem to prefer to use <Tab> to enter tabs into their messages. In WinPMail, I have provided the facility to use the Tab key to Tab in the message editor, but it is turned off by default. This is necessary to preserve compatibility for the few users who use Windows without a Mouse, and to remain at least nominally compliant with CUA. If you prefer to use the <Tab> key to tab in your message, follow these steps: Start a new message Click the "Special options" button at the left. Set a tab width (4 is good). Note that this value is only approximate if you are using a proportionally-spaced font in the message editor. Click the "Use as default" checkbox next to the Tab value then click on OK to close the dialog. Cancel the message. All future messages will allow Tabs in the message editor. A side-effect of this fix is that Ctrl-Enter will send the message (just like the DOS version of Pegasus Mail) if you have this turned on. To configure WinPMail to work with the Mercury SMTP gateway, follow the steps in this guide covering installation for the Charon SMTP gateway: from Pegasus Mail's perspective, both transports have an identical interface. WinPMail v1.0 has support for all NetWare MHS features, and is fully SMF-71 compliant, which means that it takes advantage of the special features offered by the new generation of MHS mail systems such as NetWare Global MHS. If you have previously used any version of Pegasus Mail, it is as well to run PCONFIG and check the way your copy of Pegasus Mail is configured for MHS: if you are using NetWare MHS 1.5, make sure that the "SMF-71 available?" field is set to 'N'. Also make sure that all the other values are sensible. WinPMail has not been thoroughly tested under NetWare 4.0 but appears to work if you have Bindery Emulation loaded on the server. Native NDS support for Pegasus Mail will be available for the next release of NetWare 4.x sometime this year. Pegasus Mail for Windows is a substantial rework of the entire program and contains improvements and additions too numerous to mention. Having said this, the look and feel of the program should not be in any way uncomfortable for anyone used to version 1.02. Here are the major changes in v1.1 of WinPMail: * Built-in SMTP and POP3 support using any WINSOCK-compliant protocol stack. * Support for standalone operation. WinPMail now no longer requires a connection to a NetWare server in order to operate. In fact, using its built-in TCP/IP mail capabilities, it is now a quite competetive mailer in the non-NetWare environment. * Hierarchical foldering, compatible with Pegasus Mail/DOS v3.x * Spelling checker (finally!) * Toolbar support (although you can still have the traditional WinPMail button panel if you wish). The toolbar is enabled or disabled using a new preferences menu submenu item. First-time users will automatically get a toolbar. * MIME support to the same general level as the DOS version, although MIME digests are currently not supported. * Vastly enhanced message editor, with support for indenting, paragraph reformat, search and replace and more. The problems many people had with replies getting grossly misformatted under WinPMail 1.02 are now a thing of the past. * Support for the addressbook quick-lookup feature found in the DOS version, using the same key (Shift+F3). * Quick address entry buttons in the message editor for the last 50 addresses you have used. * Save desktop state between sessions: WinPMail can now remember the folders, addressbooks and whatever else were open the last time you quit the program and restore them to the same state and position when it restarts. * Ability to mark messages as unread in folders * The infamous "resource leak" has been fixed. * Powerful message extraction option allows you to save messages to single or multiple files easily with a single command. * Word wrap now available in the message reader * The options on the folder window's "Special" submenu (such as uudecode, unbinhex and so forth) are now also available in the message reader. * Vastly improved detection and handling of attachments generated by other Internet mailers. It's still not perfect, because a number of other mailers insist on the objectionable practice of enclosing attachments at the end of the message, but WinPMail will now detect most instances of this kind of behaviour and deal with them correctly. * Ability to view attachments: if an attachment to a message has an extension WinPMail can match to any of the extensions supported by applications on your system (via the[Extensions] section of WIN.INI), then it can start the application automatically with the attachment to display it. * Ability to suppress "Are you sure you want to delete this message" prompts. * Many user-interface improvements - for example, in the local users list screen (F2) there is now a drop-down list of all the available servers on the network from which the user can choose. * Ability to select a different file server from within WinPMail, and problems to do with losing the server connection which many people experienced under WinPMail 1.02 have been fixed completely. * Many more accelerator keys, and better support in general for keyboard use of the program. * Ability to specify whether copies-to-self of encrypted messages should be stored encrypted or as plain text. * More logical window staggering - WinPMail now tries to make sure that windows are entirely visible within the main frame when it opens them. * List controls now behave in a more "Standard" way - Shift+Click does a range fill selection, and Ctrl+Click does a disjoint selection. The following features do not appear in this version, but are planned for future releases: DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) support OLE-2 support MAPI support Welcome to WinPMail v1.2 Pegasus Mail is an electronic mail system for use with Novell NetWare (versions 2.15A and later), and on standalone systems using the WINSOCK TCP/IP interface. It is a fully-fledged mailer, one of its more unusual characteristics being that it is free - not shareware, but free. You can use it without charge, restriction or obligation on as many servers and machines as you wish. I do sell manuals for the program, in order to support development costs, but manual purchases are strictly optional. An order form for manuals is provided in this guide - please print it out and attach it to your order form or cheque if you place an order. WinPMail requires DOS 3.0 or later and Windows v3.1 or later to run. WinPMail will only run in Standard or Enhanced modes. Pegasus Mail has been tested under NetWare 2.12, NetWare 2.15A-C, all versions of 3.x, and on 4.0x in Bindery Emulation mode only. It will run on any station equipped with any version of IPX and NETx, on any network topology. I give Pegasus Mail away for a number of reasons, very few of them logical. One of the main reasons, however, is the intense satisfaction I get from knowing that people like using it. I am very receptive to comments and criticisms about Pegasus Mail, and intend to support it for as long as people want to use it. The best way to reach me is by e-mail: if you have access to the Internet, then you can mail me at the following Internet address: david@pmail.gen.nz From CompuServe, you can mail to me at this addresses by prefixing it with >internet: - e.g. >internet:david@pmail.gen.nz . I'm not currently addressable via MHS, but hope to be in the future. If you wish, you can fax me at (+64) 3 453 6612 I can be phoned at (+64) 3 453 6880 , but LPLEASE @ remember that New Zealand is LGMT+1200 @... I am generally pretty grumpy about being woken at 4am by ANYONE! Because of the volume of information I have to deal with, faxing me, or sending me paper mail will generally not elicit a fast response - I apologise in advance for this, but there's only so much one person can do. My postal address is: Pegasus Mail, c/- David Harris, P.O. Box 5451, Dunedin, New Zealand. Pegasus Mail can talk to UNIX and other TCP/IP based hosts via the Charon SMTP gateway from Clarkson University, or using my own Mercury Message Transport System. WinPMail does not distinguish between the two systems - configure WinPMail to work with Mercury as you would for Charon. The Mercury Mail Transport System, by the author of Pegasus Mail, is a comprehensive Internet mail solution implemented as a set of NLMs for NetWare 3.11 and later. It is fast, small, efficient and has a considerable range of features, including a fully-fledged list and mail server, aliasing, autoreply and more. It is available from the same sites as Pegasus Mail - risc.ua.edu in /pub/network/pegasus is a good place to start looking. At the time of writing the current Mercury version is 1.13. Charon: Developed by Brad Clements , and a product of Clarkson University, Charon is a dedicated server which can service mail on up to 8 NetWare servers simultaneously. Pegasus Mail and Charon were written with each other in mind, and work very well together. They interact via NetWare Print Queues, which makes for easy management (using the NetWare PCONSOLE utility). Charon uses Packet Drivers to talk both TCP/IP and IPX at the same time, and requires the use of MX entries on a BIND/DNS system to operate to best effect. It supports aliasing, has a Finger server, and supports remote management via Telnet. Charon is free software. Charon is available via anonymous FTP from risc.ua.edu (130.160.4.7) in /pub/network/pegasus/charon.zip. Pegasus Mail has been in widespread use since June 1990. Since that time, various people have had a significant influence on its growth and acceptance in the e-mail community. The following list is by no means complete, and I apologise to anyone whose name I have missed - it is not for lack of appreciation, believe me! Brad Clements , formerly of Clarkson University and now the CEO of MurkWorks, Inc (a specialist software development company in New York State), for working hard and without much thanks on the excellent Charon SMTP gateway which Pegasus Mail knows how to use. Brad's ongoing influence on Pegasus Mail is beyond estimation. James Ford for maintaining the PMAIL users group, and for making risc.ua.edu, my principal distribution point, available. Industrial Research Limited, New Zealand , whose support of the costs of my Internet link make it possible for me to continue supporting Pegasus Mail aggressively. Janet Perry, Manoj Goel and Kirk Johnson from Novell Inc, who have helped in many, many ways. Steve Dart, Ton Roovers, Douwe Fokkinga, Andrew Morrow, Hans van Oostrom, Brendan Boerner, John Baird, David Kocmoud and the other people who helped test the system (and put up with all the headaches!). And to all the sites who have purchased manuals: this financial support has been critical in allowing me to continue supporting and enhancing Pegasus Mail. This user guide was created entirely using another of my programs, called David's Readme Compiler (DRC). DRC allows you to take a simple text file and "compile" it into a single .EXE file which you can include with your program. This reduces the number of files you need to supply. DRC allows you to create hierarchical sub-topics nested arbitrarily deeply and to control text attributes and colour. It also has a mode which leaves the screen undisturbed, so you can run it as a help system from inside other programs. DRC is totally free , no catches, gotchas or gimmes. You can get it via anonymous FTP from risc.ua.edu in /pub/network/pegasus/drc21.zip. Drc21.zip can also be found at splicer2.cba.hawaii.edu in the directory /files/pegasus. I hope to make it available on CompuServe when I get the time. To install WinPMail, copy the files WINPMAIL.EXE, WINPMAIL.HLP and WINPMAIL.DAT to a public directory on your file server: note that all three must be in the same location. If you want to use the Spelling checker option in WinPMail, then you must also place the file PMDICT3.PMD in the same directory as WINPMAIL.EXE, or somewhere on the DOS path. The files BWCC.DLL and NWCALLS.DLL (and SHELL.DLL if you don't already have it) should be placed in one of the following locations: Anywhere on the DOS path In \WINDOWS\SYSTEM In the same directory as WINPMAIL.EXE If you install WinPMail on the file server , make sure that WINPMAIL.EXE, WINPMAIL.HLP and WINPMAIL.DAT are all flagged SHAREABLE - this is very important. WinPMail.exe cannot be flagged Execute-only (nor can any Windows application, in fact). WinPMail currently does not have a fancy installer to create a Program Manager group for it - you have to do this yourself. I hope to produce a fancy installer for a future version. Existing users can use the program immediately. There are no extra steps required when creating users to allow them to use the system - WinPMail learns all it needs about the user from the NetWare Bindery. You should modify NET$LOG.DAT, the NetWare system login script, on the host server to contain commands similar to the following: #newmail if "%ERROR_LEVEL" > "0" then begin write "" pause end This invokes the Pegasus Mail newmail utility, which reports the number of unread messages the user has when he logs in. The write statement prints a blank line, while the pause statement gives the user a chance to see the message printed by newmail. Newmail will check for new mail on all servers to which you are attached and logged in. SUPERVISOR-equivalent users can check for mail for other users on the default server by entering "newmail USERNAME". If you are connected to more than one NetWare file server when WinPMail runs, it will use whatever is your current Default server. You can tell WinPMail to use a particular server using a -P command-line option in the group entry you create in the program manager. To do this, edit the properties of the WinPMail Program Manager Icon so that the run command looks like this: d:\path\WINPMAIL.EXE -P <SERVER> Replacing <SERVER> with the name of the server you want WinPMail to use. You must already be logged into the server before running WinPMail - it will not connect you. You can also change the file server you are using from within the program, using the "File Servers" option on the "File" menu. Some features in Pegasus Mail are only available if the user has been authorised to use them. These are: Autoforwarding, mail disable, notification disable, and denial of receipt confirmation. Because granting these rights requires the creation of a property in the NetWare bindery, they must be explicitly granted by a SUPERVISOR-equivalent user. You can control whether or not a user can modify these settings as well. To grant extended options to a user, either use PCONFIG, selecting "Grant extended feature rights", or else use PMGRANT.EXE, which allows you to use wildcard characters. Pegasus Mail can deliver mail to users on other file servers if access codes are provided. When a user attempts to send mail to a user on a remote server, Pegasus Mail searches a Supervisor-defined internal table for a usercode and password on the remote server. If one is found, the system uses it to log into the remote server and deliver the message. If none is found, the system attempts to log into the remote server as the NetWare GUEST user. If all attempts fail, an error is reported to the user. To define the access information Pegasus Mail needs for remote servers, the Supervisor or a Supervisor-equivalent user should run the pconfig.exe program on the distribution disk. Pconfig presents a menu offering `Interface definition' (this option is covered later) and `Server Access definition'. Select the latter, and a window will open. If you press <Enter> while the `Add a server' entry is high- lighted, another window will open prompting you for information about the remote host. You should enter the file server's name, and a usercode and password Pegasus Mail can use on that server. The data is stored in a heavily- encrypted format which should be secure from even an ardent hacker. You can create any number of entries for remote server access the list will scroll when you have filled the window. When you have finished defining servers, press <Ctrl-Enter> to accept the definitions and return to the main menu. Choose `Save and Exit' to store the definitions. The usercode you create for mail access should be extremely limited. I recommend that it NOT be a member of group EVERYONE, and that it should have only one explicit trustee right granted to it [C] (or [CW] under NetWare 286) rights in SYS:MAIL. Pegasus Mail does not need access to any other directory on the host server, nor does it need access to any NetWare utilities. Pegasus Mail logs into the remote server for the shortest possible time to deliver mail or examine usernames, and guarantees that the user will never be left logged-in to the remote host under the mail usercode. Note: if a mail usercode on a remote server has an expired password, Pegasus Mail will fail when delivering the message, even if grace logins are enabled and plentifully available. WinPMail supports the Charon v3 SMTP gateway by Brad Clements of Clarkson University and the Mercury Mail Transport System using the same configuration information. To install WinPMail to use these gateways, run the Pconfig program supplied and choose `define Clarkson interface': a dialog window will appear. You must provide the following information: Spool interface? If you are using Mercury 1.11 or later as your SMTP transport agent, you can select either a queue or a directory interface to Mercury. The directory interface has some advantages over the queue interface and is the only way of running Mercury under NetWare 4.0 at this time. For more information on using the spool directory interface to Mercury, see the Mercury 1.11 guide. Queue name : this is the name of the print queue you have created (using the NetWare PConsole utility) from which Charon or Mercury expects to retrieve messages. The queue need not exist at the time you define the interface. If you have installed Mercury 1.11 using the spool directory interface, you should enter the path to the Mercury spool directory in this field, preferably in the MS-Net UNC format of \\SERVER\VOLUME\PATH Use always : enter `Y' if you want WinPMail to use the gateway for all messages, including mail to other servers. If you select `N', Pegasus Mail will only pass mail with Internet addresses to the gateway, and will use its own mechanism for all other messages. Server's internet name : Enter here the internet identity you have defined for this file server. Note that this is NOT the same as the name of the gateway itself. This address is used to form the sender's address for replies. For more information on naming, see the Charon manual. The name you enter in this field should be fully domain extended - that is, you should include the domain as well as the host name. Our time zone : Type here the UNIX-format abbreviation for your time zone: this is required by the RFC822 standard for message format. Examples of time zones are: EDT, PST, GMT, GMT+1200. When you have filled in all the blanks, accept the data. That's all there is to it! Because Internet mail is a 7-bit format, you cannot send 8-bit data across it. Accented characters in the IBM character set are 8-bit data and must be converted to an alternate format (usually simple ASCII) for transmission. WinPMail has a default translation table for 8-bit data which it applies to messages sent via an Internet transport (such as Charon or Mercury). The default table is intended to work with code page 437 and may be unsatisfactory in other environments. You can override the default table by creating a resource file called WPM-CHAR.RSC in the same directory as WINPMAIL.EXE or in your home mailbox. A sample WPM-CHAR translation table is provided with WinPMail as WPM-CHAR.R. Examine this file for details on how to customise the SMTP tables at your site. WinPMail v1.2 supports noticeboards - discussion areas available to designated users. Noticeboards are accessed by clicking the pinboard icon on the toolbar, or by selecting "noticeboards" from the file menu. Setting up noticeboards To initialize noticeboards, follow these steps: * Create a root noticeboard directory somewhere on your file server. I recommend SYS:PUBLIC/NB, but it can be anywhere. * In this directory, create a file called NB.ID. The file can be empty, although in standalone and non-NetWare setups it should contain this line: Administrator: <username> - where <username> is the name of the noticeboard manager. * Set an environment variable called NB which points to the directory you have set up. The best way to do this is to use UNC path notation - for example, \\SERVER\SYS\PUBLIC\NB. You will probably want to create this variable in your system login script. That's about all it takes. Simple noticeboard administration can be done by administrator users within Pegasus Mail for DOS - the Windows version of Pegasus Mail will have similar management facilities in due course. You can control access to noticeboards by altering the rights masks on the directories created under the NB location on your server. Manual maintenance of noticeboards can be done by editing the file NB.ID in each noticeboard directory. NB.ID is a simple, fairly self-explanatory text file which can be edited using any text editor, even (shudder) the DOS EDIT command. Expiration NLM A NetWare NLM is available which can handle automatic expiration of messages on noticeboards. Get NBEXPIRE.ZIP from the site where you found Pegasus Mail. Advanced management tool An advanced management tool is also planned for Pegasus Mail's noticeboard system: it should make it easy to maintain access and posting rights within the system and should also be out within a couple of months of the release of Pegasus Mail v1.2. Many aspects of Pegasus Mail's operation can be controlled using NetWare User Groups (created using the NetWare SYSCON utility). Pegasus Mail currently recognizes the following NetWare groups: GROUPMAIL Those who MAY send to NetWare groups NOGROUPMAIL Those who may NOT send to NetWare groups MAILBOX Those who MAY have a home mailbox on the server NOMAILBOX Those who may NOT have a home mailbox on the server MAILUSERS Those who MAY use Pegasus Mail to send mail NOMAIL Those who may NOT use Pegasus Mail PMSEND Those who MAY send one-line messages from <F4> NOPMSEND Those who may NOT send one-line messages from <F4> BECOME Those users who may access another users mailbox In the absence of both allowing and disallowing groups, the default is that all users have access; so, if there is no MAILUSERS and no NOMAIL group, then all users may use mail. The exception to this is the BECOME group, which MUST exist before any user can access another user's mailbox. Instructions for creating system-wide entries: Creating system-wide distribution lists: Distribution lists are text files with the extension make a distribution list system-wide, copy it into the same directory as PMAIL.EXE, or else put it in a publicly-accessible location on the server and set a PML DOS environment variable to point to that location. Creating system-wide address books: Address books consist of two files - name and name create a system-wide address book, copy both files for the book into the same directory on the server as PMAIL.EXE. Alternatively, copy the files into a public directory then set a DOS environment variable called PMR which points to that directory. If the address book is large and changes little, consider creating a secondary index for it using PMSORT.EXE - this will markedly speed up the process of opening the book. Creating system-wide mail folders: In the same directory on the server as PMAIL.EXE, create a sub- directory with the extension - the name is unimportant. In this directory, create a file called PMFOLDER.ID , which contains the long name of the folder. On some systems, you may have to edit the file using a binary editor (such as Norton's DE) so that the last character in the file is an ASCII 0. Once you have created the folder and the name file, grant rights to the directory as required: in order to read messages, users will need [RF] rights; in order to move messages into the folder, they will need at least [RWCF] rights. WinPMail has native support for Novell MHS version 1.5 and later. To enable MHS support, run PCONFIG (you must be a SUPERVISOR- equivalent user to do this), and choose "Define Novell MHS interface" from the main menu. A window will open, presenting the following editable fields: Enabled: If 'Y', this field indicates that MHS mail capability is available on this server. If 'N', WinPMail will generate an error message if a user attempts to enter an MHS address. Preferred: This flag only has meaning if the Charon SMTP gateway is also installed on the current system. Some MHS and SMTP addresses are indistinguishable from each other (canonical MHS addresses are ALWAYS correctly sensed): if such an address is detected by Pegasus Mail, it will be routed to whichever transport has its "preferred" flag set. If NEITHER transport has its preferred flag set, then the user will be asked to use an explicit override (either MHS: for MHS addresses, or IN: for SMTP addresses). Use always? If set to 'Y', then all messages will be routed to MHS irrespective of apparent address format. WinPMail will rewrite addresses without workgroup parts, using the name defined for this host (so, a message addressed to "david" will be rewritten as "david @ hostname"). WinPMail won't use its own local delivery agent, and messages to the Charon SMTP gateway (if present) will have to be overridden always (using the IN: prefix). NOTE: Hardened MHS users may instinctively wish to set this field to 'Y', but in general, Pegasus Mail will perform better if it is set to 'N', since its own delivery agent is extremely efficient. We recommend that this field be set to 'Y' only in an extremely heavy MHS environment - ie, one where a number of MHS mailers are used, to the exclusion of all other protocols. Default workgroup: This is the name of the local host/workgroup as defined in the installation of MHS on the current server. Pegasus Mail uses this name to construct the "From:" field of messages, and when writing addresses to MHS format. Local delivery: This option only has meaning at sites where both MHS and the Charon Internet gateway are used simultaneously. If this flag is set to 'Y', then MHS will be used for any local mail - that is, Pegasus Mail's own delivery agent will be disabled. So, where an address such as "DAVID" would usually be taken as a local Pegasus Mail address, if this flag is set, then Pegasus Mail will treat it as an MHS address instead. This option does NOT cause Pegasus Mail to attempt local MHS delivery without MHS - Pegasus Mail will never do this: MHS MUST be running on your system for any MHS delivery to occur. SMF-71 available? Set this flag to 'Y' if you are using an SMF-71 transport such as NetWare Global Messaging, or MHS v2.0. For MHS 1.5, set it to N. UTC Time value Enter here the time offset of your area from GMT, expressed as a positive or negative 4-digit value; New Zealand, for instance is 12 hours ahead of GMT, so you would enter +1200 here. MHS 1.5 does not require this field to be completed. Use SMFSEND If set to 'Y', then Pegasus Mail will attempt to use the MHS SMFSEND utility to deliver mail. On some systems this will permit mail to be delivered locally without having MHS running, but SMFSEND is not the most reliable utility in the world, and performance using this feature may be erratic. * Note: WinPMail cannot use SMFSEND to deliver mail in any event DOS MV path Enter here the path to the MHS tree - exactly the same as the MV environment value set at the DOS level. While Pegasus Mail will function correctly if this value is not set, you will not be able to change file servers reliably from the Pegasus Mail main menu if it is not. WinPMail includes a number of user configuration options in its preferences menu: SMF/MHS user name : if a user has an MHS mail identity which is different from his/her NetWare usercode, then he/she will have to enter that identity in this field. The default is the first eight characters of the user's NetWare userid. If you are using an SMF- 71 transport, such as NetWare Global Messaging, then this field can contain a full address, such as "David Harris@Pmail.gen.nz". Pegasus Mail uses this value to create the "From" field of outgoing messages. MHS/SMF mailbox name : each user has a directory in the MHS directory tree where new mail is stored. In almost all cases this will have the same name as the first eight characters of the user's NetWare username, but very occasionally it might be different. If it IS different, then Pegasus Mail will not be able to find new mail for the user until the correct name is entered here. MHS App name : if a preferred mailer has not been specified for a user when he/she was added to the MHS system, then mail will be delivered by default to an MHS application directory called MHS. Normally, Pegasus Mail should be installed in your MHS system using the application name PMAIL, which has been reserved with Novell: if, however, you are installing Pegasus Mail over the top of an existing MHS mailer, you may not wish to alter all the users. In either of the cases described here, you can change the name of the application directory Pegasus Mail will scan for new mail by entering its name in this field. Scan MHS dir for new mail? If set to Y, then Pegasus Mail will scan the user's default 'MHS' mailer directory for new mail, as well as scanning whatever directory is defined in "MHS App name". Pegasus Mail understands and uses MHS extended addressing, and will add any personal name the user has defined (under General Settings in the Preferences menu) to his address in outgoing messages: this will result in addresses of the form: joeblogg @ thalia (Joseph Bloggs) In outgoing messages. This syntax is legal, but might possible confuse older mailers which do not understand MHS extended address forms. The advantage of adding the comment field is that Pegasus Mail can pick it out of the address and display it in the message browse list; the personal name is 'friendlier' than a raw address. The following guidelines can be used as a guide when trying to decide the best way of configuring Pegasus Mail to operate with MHS at your site. 1: Sites using Pegasus Mail only, No SMTP, and MHS to deliver between servers: Set "Preferred" to 'N'; "Use always" to 'N'; "Enabled" to 'Y'. 2: Sites using MHS and SMTP (Charon) on the same system: Set "Preferred" to 'Y' if most mail traffic is MHS, otherwise set it to 'N'; "Enabled" to 'Y'; "Use always" to 'N'. 3: Heavy MHS sites using more than one MHS mailer, and no SMTP. Set "Preferred", "Enabled" and "Use always" to 'Y'. WinPMail understands three different message formats: RFC-822, the Internet mail format; MHS SMF-70, the format of MHS 1.5, and SMF-71, the format of NetWare Global Messaging and MHS v2. It can distinguish between the message formats transparently: WinPMail's own mail agent uses the RFC-822 format. WinPMail stores all new mail in the user's unique mail directory in SYS:MAIL, irrespective of the transport used: if new MHS messages are detected in MV/.../USERS/APPNAME, they are moved to the user's SYS:MAIL directory before being read, along with any associated attachments. After being read, messages may migrate to a user-specified home mailbox (perhaps on a local drive) or may be left in SYS:MAIL/USERID, depending on user configuration. Outgoing mail is ALWAYS placed in MV/MHS/MAIL/SND for routing via MHS, as per the recommendation in the "MHS 1.5 Technical Overview". WinPMail will NOT attempt local MHS delivery on its own - the MHS Connectivity Manager must be running for mail to be delivered. Since the expected main use of Pegasus Mail is in sites where its own agent is used for local delivery, and MHS is used for off-site transport, this should present no problems. Local delivery: Pegasus Mail will NEVER attempt to perform local MHS delivery - the MHS Connectivity Manager must be run. The only possible exception to this is to use SMFSEND for local delivery, but this option has variable reliability. MHS Macros, as defined in the "Technical Summary of MHS 1.5" are not supported, will NOT be copied back into replies if referenced, but will not generate errors. Confirmation requests: MHS requests for confirmation of receipt are honoured: confirmation is generated at the moment the message is opened for reading. PMGRANT can be used to examine, grant or revoke extended feature rights (the ability to autoforward, disable mail, disable receipt confirmation and so forth) from the command line. This may be desirable if you have a very large bindery, with which PCONFIG may not be able to cope. Usage: pmgrant [option] <username> [parameter] -v: view user's or users' extended rights -d: delete user's extended rights -l: set user's local forwarding address to [parameter] -l-: clear user's local forwarding address -i: set user's Internet forwarding address to [parameter] -i-: clear user's Internet forwarding address -f: set user's address synonym to [parameter] -f-: clear user's address synonym -w[-]: allow/do not allow user to edit extended rights -a[-]: enable/disable delivery even if autoforwarding -m[-]: enable/disable mail delivery altogether -c[-]: honour/refuse requests for confirmation of reading -n[-]: turn on/turn off message arrival broadcast messages <username> may contain wildcards (* and ?) Only one of -v, -l, -i or -f may be used in one invocation. Address synonyms are only valid when using Charon 3.5 or later. If no option is present, the user is granted extended rights. Maildir is a simple program to change to a specified user's mailbox in SYS:MAIL. It may be useful if you need to check on the files in a user's mailbox. Usage: MAILDIR <username> <username> may not contain wildcards. PMSORT creates secondary index files for address books. It is intended to be used with very large system-wide address books which are otherwise very slow to sort. Using PMSORT can increase the speed by which Pegasus Mail can resort an address book by key by a factor of 10. The downside is that while Pegasus Mail will USE the secondary index, it won't MAINTAIN it, so any address book with a secondary index becomes read-only by definition. Usage: PMSORT <address_book_file> PMSort creates the secondary index file in the same location as the address book with the extension .PM1. PRebuild rebuilds the index file for a damaged Pegasus Mail folder. Prebuild assumes that the .PMM file (which contains the actual text of the messages in the folder) is intact, and regenerates the index from it. Although PRebuild is quite safe to use, some information (flag fields recording the Read/Replied/Forwarded status of the message) is lost, so it should be used only when necessary, and not routinely. UNCONFIG removes the Bindery Property Pegasus Mail creates to store its configuration information. Very occasionally you may find that this property has somehow become corrupt (a good symptom to look for is that a Yes/No value in PCONFIG behaves as if set to 'Y', even when you set it to 'N'). In such cases, run UNCONFIG to remove the old property, then run PCONFIG again to reinstall a new, correct property. UNCONFIG has no effect on user-defined gateways or on extended features granted to users. It only affects the configuration Pegasus Mail uses for Charon, MHS, and inter-server delivery. WINSOCK, or Windows Sockets, is an open specification allowing applications to access TCP/IP networking services from any compliant implementation. Most modern TCP/IP suites for Windows will include WINSOCK.DLL, the file providing these services. Pegasus Mail for Windows can use WINSOCK.DLL to perform direct TCP/IP-based electronic mail using the SMTP and POP3 protocols. If you have a PC attached to a TCP/IP-based network, WinPMail's WINSOCK-based mail services may be of use to you. They can be used simultaneously with any connection you might have to a NetWare server, but do not require a NetWare connection. WINSOCK-based mail support is configured using the Network Configuration option on the "File" menu. This menu option will only appear if a valid WINSOCK.DLL is available on your system. Almost all competent TCP/IP implementations for Windows will include WINSOCK.DLL, but the following stacks have been more widely-tested with WinPMail than most: * LAN Workplace for DOS v4.1 or later, from Novell, Inc. * The Trumpet Winsock, by Peter Tattam. WinPMail should, however, work with any properly-implemented WINSOCK implementation. WinPMail requires no particular installation to use WINSOCK services on your system, except that the WINSOCK.DLL must be in one of the following locations: * The same directory as WINPMAIL.EXE * In the \WINDOWS directory * In the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory * Anywhere else along the DOS PATH WinPMail needs to be able to see the actual WINSOCK.DLL file in order to use it - it cannot currently detect a WINSOCK.DLL which has already been loaded into memory. WinPMail will use the first WINSOCK.DLL it can find by searching the locations shown above in the order shown. If you do not want WinPMail to load WINSOCK.DLL, you can prevent it from doing so using any of the following means: * Set "If WINSOCK.DLL is available, load it" to NEVER in your "Advanced Settings" preferences. * Change the command line you use to run WINPMAIL.EXE so that it reads "WINPMAIL -Z 1" * Before running Windows, set a DOS environment variable like this: "SET WINPMAIL=1" * Removing WINSOCK.DLL from your path. * Mail is queued until sent - an indicator in the WinPMail status line shows the number of queued messages. Send queued mail by choosing "Send queued mail" from the file menu. * For security reasons, Pegasus Mail will only send SMTP mail if it can first perform a POP3 login to the account you have specified in your Network Configuration screen. The POP3 address is written into the "Sender" field of mail you send as a validation of who you really are. * Background checking for new mail is configured in the Network Configuration screen. If using a SLIP line or any other slow line you may want to disable periodic checking by setting the idle check time to 0 and disabling checks while the application is minimized. * SLIP lines: if using WinPMail and WINSOCK over SLIP (Serial Line IP), you will almost certainly have to set a longer timeout value in the network configuration screen. 45 seconds should be adequate for almost all scenarios. Manuals for WinPMail 1.2 are available immediately (as of the date of release, 22nd August 1994). Pegasus Mail is free software, and is provided with enough documentation and online help to be easily usable: no manual is provided though. In order to support the costs of hardware and software involved in developing Pegasus Mail, I sell printed manuals. There is no obligation to purchase manuals - none whatsoever. Purchasing manuals does, however, help me in my work and also gives you a tangible asset for your money. The manual is provided loose-leaf in a protective folder, ready for copying. The quality of the manual is high. I sell manuals in three ways: 5-user manuals : you get one printed manual with a license to make up to 5 further copies. This costs US$175. Site-licensed manuals : you get one printed manual with a license to make as many copies as you wish for one site. One site is defined as the extent of any organization in any one city or town, so if you have two branches in the same town, one site license will cover both of them. As well as the manual, site licensees get a diskette with RTF and ASCII versions of the manual. Site licenses cost US$350. Any type of manual can be upgraded to the next level for the current difference in cost between the two levels. Note: as of the release of WinPMail 1.1 and Pegasus Mail/DOS v3.1, the "Annual Update License" option which was previously offered ceases to be available, although all existing licensees are covered. Ordering: to order Pegasus Mail manuals, please fill out the order form shown at the end of this file (also in the file ORDER.FRM supplied with the distribution) and return it by mail or fax with your purchase order, cheque or credit card details to: Pegasus Mail, c/- David Harris, P.O. Box 5451, Dunedin, New Zealand. (Fax: +64 3 453 6612). We do not use postal codes in New Zealand. *** If you fax your order to us, please DO NOT send the original by *** mail as confirmation. Please be sure that you actually complete and enclose our order form - we will use it as the final authority for shipping and billing addresses, since many organizational purchase orders have ambiguous addressing details. We are happy to accept purchase orders provided payment is made on normal credit terms (nett 30 days). Payment must be made in US dollars, drawn on a US bank . There is usually a delay of around 2 weeks before a manual can be sent out, and I reserve the right to hold your order if a new release is pending (so you can get the new release). Manuals are always sent by Express Mail Service courier (2-4 day delivery anywhere in the world), the fee for which is included in the purchase price. All manual orders are shipped with a diskette containing the most recent version of the program. The manuals are shrink-wrapped, and you may request either A4 or US-Letter size versions. PLEASE, PLEASE! Remember to enclose the order form: I'm not psychic, and I can't guess at delivery addresses from a cheque alone... We can accept payment for Manual orders on any valid VISA or Mastercard. If you wish to pay this way, please note your card number, expiry date, and the name on the card on the order form, then sign the order form (signing the form is VERY IMPORTANT - I cannot process your order if you do not sign). Special Conditions: * Credit card payments attract a 2.5% surcharge which will be automatically added to the voucher. * The amount you are billed will probably not be exactly the amount on the order, because I have to submit the voucher to the VISA Centre converted to New Zealand dollars. I will use the USD conversion rate which applies on the day your order is processed. If you are an existing license holder for any other platform of a Pegasus Mail manual (ie, DOS or Mac), you can purchase site licensed WinPMail manuals for $75 less than the full price (ie, $275). There is no discount provided for the purchase of 5-user manuals because the production and shipping costs are so high. In the past, we have had serious problems keeping pace with orders for manuals, which has resulted in appreciable delays in filling orders. Our system has been modified to allow faster turnaround on manuals and we now ship everything by courier. I will accept payment by telegraphic transfer, but you should be aware that there are some very particular conditions you MUST meet for me to be able to do so. Telegraphic Transfer Checklist: ------------------------------ Your bank must not deduct any fees from the amount invoiced. Transfer to: The National Bank of New Zealand, Dunedin North Branch, account 060-909-0106632-13. The account name is "David Harris Pegasus Mail". Your bank MUST ONLY TRANSFER TO MY BANK!!! If your bank transfers to me via any other bank in New Zealand, it will incur processing fees at this end which I will not accept. If your bank cannot trans- fer directly to the National Bank of New Zealand, please pay by cheque. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK UNDERSTANDS THIS CONDITION! Note in particular that the "Bank of New Zealand" and the "National Bank of New Zealand" are different organizations. Please make sure that your bank states my invoice number in the transfer narration, so I can credit the remittance against your invoice. A note to European users: it appears to be common practice for European Banks, particularly in Germany, to deduct fees from the cheque they send. In some cases, these fees have been as high as US$25. Because of the costs of manual production, and the relatively small amounts involved in the invoice, DEDUCTIONS OF FEES FROM REMITTANCES CANNOT BE ACCEPTED!! If your bank deducts fees from the remittance you make, I will return the cheque unpresented for repayment. If you prefer to make payments via direct credit to a bank account, please contact me for details. The following terms and conditions apply to all orders for Pegasus Mail manual sets. Submitting an order indicates acceptance of these terms and conditions in their entirety, over and above any waivers, disclaimers or conditions stated on the order itself. -------------------- Terms and Conditions ------------------------ : For licensing purposes, a "site" is the extent of a single organization in a single Metropolitan area; so, a University with three campuses in the same town would be covered by a single site license, but a government department with offices in four separate cities would require four licenses. For the purposes of this definition, State, National and Municipal Governments do not qualify as "organizations", nor do "umbrella" institutions, such as a Board of Education covering all high schools in a city. Special licensing arrangements : We are quite flexible about manual licensing and will gladly consider proposals for special-case scenarios. We also try to help charitable and environmental organizations where we can. If you would like to discuss special-case licensing, please send Internet e-mail to D.Harris@pmail.gen.nz. Purchase orders and payment : we are happy to accept purchase orders provided that our invoice is paid under normal credit terms (nett 30 days). We can also accept payment by VISA or Mastercard - in order to do so, we need the card number, expiry date, the name exactly as shown on the card, and a clear signature on our order form. Credit card pay- ments attract a 2.5% surcharge (the fee charged to us by the bank) and may not appear as an exact amount on your statement because we have to submit our vouchers converted to NZ dollars - we use the exchange rate prevailing on the date of processing. If paying by credit card, please ensure that the details on your order form are typed, not written. Currency : all prices are shown in US dollars; we require payment in US DOLLARS DRAWN ON A US BANK. The exception to this is for clients in New Zealand, who are welcome to contact us for a New Zealand Dollar rate. Please note the "US Bank" requirement carefully - payments in US Dollars drawn on non-US banks attract considerable fees at this end and will be returned unpresented. Invoices : all manual purchases are properly invoiced. New Zealand clients will receive a valid Tax Invoice (prices are inclusive of GST in NZ). Payment by IMT (International Money Transfer) : we are willing to accept payment by money transfer, but recommend that you avoid this method of payment because of serious weaknesses in the international banking system. If you pay by IMT, your bank MUST remit the funds DIRECTLY to the National Bank of New Zealand, Dunedin North Branch, account 060909-0106632-13. The name of the account is "David Harris, Pegasus Mail". Please stress to your bank the importance of the direct transfer - transfers sent to us via other banks in New Zealand will attract a processing fee which we refuse to accept; my bank has standing orders to reject such payments and return them to the sender. Only transfers made directly to the National Bank of New Zealand are acceptable. Please note that the "National Bank of New Zealand" and the "Bank of New Zealand" are completely different institutions. Fees and deductions : it appears to be common practice in parts of Europe for banks to deduct fees from the amount remitted - we will not accept such deductions and will return payments from which fees have been deducted unpresented. We require the amount paid to us to be the amount shown on the invoice. US Taxpayer information requests : we periodically receive requests from US companies and organizations asking us to provide "FEIN" numbers, or Social Security Numbers which are needed by the client for compliance with US Tax Laws. We have contacted the US Commerce Attache in Sydney, Australia, and advise on their recommendation that the vendor is NOT a US Citizen, and is not resident in the USA for taxation purposes. We cannot provide the information requested (we have neither a FEIN nor an SSN) and requests for such information will not receive a reply. We suggest you record that the vendor is a foreign national not subject to US taxation laws. Quotes, bids, pro-forma invoices and acknowledgments : because of the sheer volume of paperwork we have to process, we regret that we are unable to provide quotes, bids, pro-forma invoices or acknowledgments of receipt of orders (other than by e-mail on specific request). The most recent version of this file retrieved from us by e-mail may be taken as a firm quote - we will honour the prices shown provided this form is used. VAT and import taxes : when we ship manuals, we enclose a commercial invoice for customs purposes, itemized as US$11 for materials and the remainder of the fee as a license charge. We are not responsible for taxes or import duties levied on entry to your country and suggest you contact your customs service in advance for information on any fees which might be payable. Freight charges : all manual prices include courier shipment via EMS (Express Mail Service) anywhere in the world. EMS usually provides a four-day service to any destination. We can ship via airmail on specific request, but are unable to ship via other carriers (such as FedEx, UPS or DHL). Delivery times : the usual processing time for an order is 8-10 days plus the time required for shipment. Occasionally the time required will be longer than this, and if a new version of the manual is due in the near future, we reserve the right to hold your order until it is released, so that you get the most up-to-date product. Press <F10> and choose "Edit" to fill in this order form Please ensure you have read the "terms and conditions" section carefully. -------------------------------------------------- G E N E R A L O R D E R F O R M for Pegasus Mail Manuals --------------------------------------------w122-- Ship To: Bill To: [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Date this order was mailed [ ] Day [ ] Mon [ ] Year What is your purchase order number [ ] or: Credit card type (tick one) [ ] Visa [ ] Mastercard Card number (print carefully) [ ] exp: [ ] Name shown on card [ ] Number of invoice copies required [ ] Manual format required (tick one) [ ] A4 [ ] US-Letter Internet e-mail address of contact [ ] Fax number of contact [ ] Please supply the following items: --------- New Manual Licenses: -------------------------- [ ] 5-copy manual set, Pegasus Mail/DOS @US$175 . . . .
