This is the README for NixMail

This is a ALPHA pre BETA release of NixMail..

There are a lot of things half done, and needing to
be fixed/added.. If you care to do it yourself
please DONT distribute changes, but send me patchfiles
and I will see what I can see about integrating them..

Command line options.. (Look in main.c for a better idea).

nixmail ??:????/???.?
The node you want to dial out for.
Add -P at the start if you want to poll, otherwise it will
only dial out if there is any mai waiting for it..

You will need to edit the main config file (/usr/lib/nixmail/config)
also you need a config file for each node you will be dialing
out.
/usr/lib/nixmail/??.????.????.????

Eg /usr/lib/nixmail/58.2100.110.0
is the config file for 58:2100/110.0. This config file overides
the generic 'config' file..

the incoming files will be placed in /usr/spool/fnet/in
and outgoing files should be put in /usr/spool/fnet/out, but you
don't have to.

to send out files, you need to make a config file in
/usr/spool/fnet/control/??.????.????.????

eg 58.2100.110.0

In this, you put one of three command words plus a string.. like this..

'MOVE, COPY, REQ'

an example file.. (/usr/spool/fnet/control/58.2100.110.0
#
#example file
#
move /home/smilie/junk.arj
copy /usr/spool/fnet/out/12432452.pkt
req FILES
# end

(REQ isint support as yet)

This will compile it into a special database called
/usr/spool/fnet/control/58.2100.110.0d
(Do not EVER edit this manually)

Any other questions/suggestions.. you can mail me..

Thankyou
