The document could not be formatted using UNIX 'nroff'. Lars kindly sent me the cdiff to get it running: wmail.1.unix 2. In the process of adding various features, I (again) forgot about the MC68000 pointer problem. Luckily, Ralf found them and sent them to me. With versions of U-MAIL below 3.45, you also need to set the general umask() of W-MAIL (in wmmain.c) to 033, since the owner of the message temporary file is now the mailing user, not waltje. Anyway, please find the patches for these problems below. Now, for something else: U-MAIL. Ever since I set up the basics of MUGNET, I found that U-MAIL needed a routing system that did not need any special maps. Since USENET already has its own maps (from the UUCP Mapping Project), I decided to use those, and to create those maps for MUGNET as well. I ported the Pathalias program to run under MINIX, which was actually very easy. With this program, I can now create databases which U-MAIL can use to see how (if at all) it can address the target system. Of course, the current method (via DOMAINS in umail.cf) still works the same. I am now going to clean up the sources, and then I will post them. To do so, I need some people who are willing to spend lots of heart beats (one cannot speak of CPU cycles with humans, now can we?) testing the program. After that, I will prepare a complete version, with proper documentation. So: any volunteers, please send e-mail. I need people with all kinds of machines, not "just" only PC/AT or PC/XT...
