This file lists some of those changes (in the couple of Xmonths that have passed a LOT of stuff has been changed!!! If you're Xfamiliar with the old system it's recommended that you simply install Xthe new one - if you didn't LIKE the old one, try the new one - if you Xstill don't like it, well, then use "dd" and see if it makes you more Xproductive!! *HAH!* )... X XThe most noticable change right off is the change of names! For various Xreasons, including my finding out about another mailer called "MSG", I Xchanged the name to 'ELM' - ELectronic Mail system... X XMachines now supported in the "Configuration" systems... X X System V, BSD, Sun, Pyramid, UTS, and the HP SPECTRUM system. X ^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ X FIXED NEW NEW FIXED SUPER NEW X XIn the file "sysdefs.h" (configuration); X X domains now indicates the domain information file as used also by X the latest version of uumail. See the general note and the X section entitled "Domain Based Addressing" in the "Elm Alias X Guide". X X NO_VM has been added so that machines with VM can use vfork() X rather than fork() to improve the speed of system commands. X X LOOK_CLOSE_AFTER_SEARCH has been added to change the machine X lookup scheme to check the machine name against the names in X L.sys AFTER trying the uupath database first. The default is X the current behaviour, however. X X NO_VAR_ARGS has been added for those machines that don't have the ability X to gracefully deal with variable argument lists. X X DONT_ADD_FROM has been added for those sites that would rather not have X Elm add the From: line to outbound mail. X X INTERNET_ADDRESS_FORMAT has also been added to allow the From: lines on X outbound mail to have the Internet format user@host notation instead X of the (default) host!user notation. X XIn the ".elmrc" file; X X pointnew - start up with current message pointer pointing at the X first new message in the mailfile, not just the first X message. X X fullname - Override the name obtained from the "gecos" field of X /etc/passwd X X bounceback=n - On messages to UUCP destinations of greater than 'n' X hops, prompt for a copy to be bounced off the remote X machine and back to you, for verification of transmission X of the message and so on. X X keypad - Same as starting with "-k", but more convenient X X softkeys - Same as starting with "-s", but more convenient X X signature - If set, all messages will automatically have the X contents of the user file ".signature" in their X home directory appended to the edit buffer BEFORE X the initial invocation of the editor. X X alwaysleave - Changes the default answer to the 'keep messages in X incoming mailbox' to YES rather than NO. X X alwaysdelete - Changes the default answer to the 'delete messages' to X YES rather than NO. X XFrom the command line; X X The '-s' flag has been changed to "-K", which now also implies (as it X should) the "-k" flag. X X The '-s' flag is now used to specify a subject for single mailings. X X Starting the mailer with metacharacters in the filenames is okay now, X too (e.g. "elm -f =/unix-junk" will now work). X X Finally, the batchmail/piped mail now works okay. X XGeneral changes; X X -D and -T are now 'meta' operations that support X functions like "delete all messages from Joey". X X "+" and "%" are now synonymous with the "=" character in filenames. X X Replying to a message that was sent to someone (that is, a message X in the $savemail file) now correctly extracts the valid To: X address from the message and uses that instead of the incorrect X "To:xyz" address in the From line. X X The format of the messages saved in the $savemail file has been altered X to more closely resemble that of the message actually sent, and X now also includes the specified user headers. X X The "Elm Alias Guide" has been written and included. X X The "readmsg" program is now considerably smarter, and can work better X in conjunction with the mailer itself. For example, if you're X responding to a message from someone, "readmsg" without any X arguments will now display that message to the screen. The X "readmsg" program can also now be invoked with a string to try X to match in one of the messages in the mailbox. X X For those people porting to Xenix systems, a file UNIX_SYMS (actually X a 'sed' script) has been included to aid in this process... X X Searches "/" and "//" are now case insensitive. X X strchr() has been added to the opt_utils.c file. X X The "what" command now correctly describes the release version of the X software. X X "newmail" can now be used with files other than the default incoming X mail file, to allow keeping track of ANY file at all. X X Addresses can now use a domain based syntax for those sites that X have installed the /usr/lib/domains file. The format of this X file is as for the uumail program, and is discussed in the X "Elm Alias Guide" X X On Berkeley systems, the mailer can now expand "&" into the login X name of the user, so a setup like loginname=dave and the X gecos field in /etc/passwd being "& Taylor" will now correctly X generate Dave Taylor as the full name! (On the other hand, X you could use the "fullname" entry in your .elmrc file too!) X X "from" now knows how to expand the '='/'+'/'%' metacharacter into X the users mailhome setting... X X The screen display when reading messages has been enhanced for X better performance. X X The use of versus has been redone.

It should be read BEFORE any attempts are made at actually creating and/or installing any of the software contained herein! First off, you'll need to create the documents so that you can read the "ELM Configuration Guide" and configure the system correctly for your local site needs... $ make documentation This will create two documents - the "ELM Users Guide", and the "ELM Configuration Guide". For our purposes, you're only interested in the configuration guide, so at this point print out the file "doc/Config.fmtd" and then continue reading with that document. -------- I assume you've read and followed the directions in the Configuration guide if you're back here! If not, GO DO IT!!! -------- Try again - ready? Okay. Now that we've configured the ELM system so that it will all be happy with the file locations, node type, memory requirements, and so on of your system we can actually try to make the system! The first step is to edit the Makefile so that the define for the macro "DEFINE" is correct for your OS. The choices are "BSD", "UTS" or the default of Bell/HP-UX. When you're done, type: $ make all This will take a fair while, so it's recommended that you go and eat lunch or play a game for a while!! (alternatively, spend lots of money on a really FAST machine and blink your eyes a few times...) Assuming there are no errors during compilation (we'll have to assume that for the moment) you should now be able to list the directory "bin" and find the following files: "answer", "arepdaemon", "autoreply", "cutfile", "fastmail", "from", "elm", "newalias", "newmail", "printmail", and "readmsg". at this point you need to check the system level Makefile (in this directory) to check that the defines for the following are correct for your system: TAPE= /dev/rct DEST= /usr/local/bin LIB= /usr/local/lib MAN= /usr/man/man1 (these are the Bell System V defaults, more or less). Once they're altered to your satisfaction, you can install all the software by becoming root on your machine (you'll need write permission to the directories above) then typing: $ make install Note: the mailer runs as setuid root to have the ability to WRITE to the /usr/mail directory (for lock files). If you have a different scheme at your site, feel free to set it up to use that instead. Finally, we're just about done! The final checks can be made by the following commands: $ /usr/local/bin/elm -z should say "no mail" if nothing's in the mailbox $ /usr/local/bin/elm -f test/test.mail should read in EIGHT messages from various people. While here, try to A)lias C)urrent message for each of the eight messages to confirm that the reply/address system is working okay. Now try to C)hange mailboxes to the file "test/test.note" and use the '%' key to see if the mailer is generating valid return addresses for the notes (If not, then you might need to install the pathalias database - see "sysdefs.h" for more info) Change back to "test/test.mail" and Q)uit without having marked anything for deletion...answer the questions accordingly. If you get this far you're in Wonderful shape! In fact, you're done! Congratulations! You've just installed one of the best electronic mail systems available today on your machine (if I say so myself!) HANDY HINTS: If you want to create a print of the entire set of sources, including this file, use the command: $ make listing If, on the other hand, you just want to create a listing file of just the ELM sources, try: $ make elm-listing Also, if you have a number of machines on a network, you can rlogin to the remote machine and then do a remote install (after checking to ensure that the networking copy method in the Makefile under the target "remote-install" is correct) by typing: $ make -f REMOTE= rmt-install (for example, if we had installed the system on machine "machx" and wanted to install it on "machy", with the Makefile in /src/Elm on "machx", we could type from "machy"; $ make -f machx:/src/Elm/Makefile REMOTE=machx: rmt-install to have it install the system on machine y!) One final note for non-US distribution - the program might complain at link time that it can't find "crypt()". If so, and if you cannot obtain a copy, you should merely instruct your users to not use the encrypted mail option on outgoing mail. That's it! ---------- Oh! One final note: if you'd like a nicely typeset copy of the documentation, feel free to drop me a line with your full (overland) mail address!! I'll try to get it back to you within a week or two. ----------- Author's address: taylor@HPLABS hplabs!taylor Mail address: Dave Taylor Hewlett Packard Laboratories 1501 Page Mill Road Palo Alto CA 94304 This document and the entire mail system is (C) Copyright 1986, Dave Taylor END-OF-FILE if [ "$filename" != "/dev/null" ] then size=`wc -c < $filename` if [ $size != 5058 ] then echo $filename changed - should be 5058 bytes, not $size bytes fi chmod 644 $filename fi # ---------- file Makefile ---------- filename="Makefile" if [ -f $filename ] then echo File \"$filename\" already exists\!

What is Elm? Currently on Unix, there seems to be a preponderence of line-oriented software. This is most unfortunate as most of the software on Unix tends to be pretty darn hard to use! I believe that there is more than a slight correlation between the two, and, since I was myself having problems using "mailx" with high-volume mail, I created a new mail system. In the lingo of the mail guru, Elm is a "User Agent" system, it's designed to run with "sendmail" or "/bin/rmail" (according to what's on your system) and is a full replacement of programs like "/bin/mail" and "mailx". The system is more than just a single program, however, and includes programs like "from" to list a 'table of contents' of your mail, "printmail" to quickly paginate mail files (to allow 'clean' printouts), and "autoreply", a systemwide daemon that can autoanswer mail for people while they're on vacation without having multiple copies spawned on the system. 2. What's New about Elm? The most significant difference between Elm and earlier mail systems is that Elm is screen-oriented. Upon further use, however, users will find that Elm is also quite a bit easier to use, and quite a bit more "intelligent" about sending mail and so on. For example, say you're on "usenet" and receive a message from someone on the ARPANET. The sender also "cc'd" another person on ARPA. With Elm you can simply G)roup reply and it will build the correct return addresses. There are lots of subtleties like that in the program, most of which you'll probably find when you need them. 3. What systems does it work on? Elm was originally written on HP-UX, HP's proprietary version of Bell system V, with a little BSD thrown in. Since then, it has been ported to Bell, Berkeley, Sun, UTS and the Pyramid and should run on all these systems without any modifications (if there turn out to be modifications, please notify the author as soon as possible). Some people have expressed interest in porting the mail system to Xenix. If it is indeed 100% system V compatible it should be rather trivial... 4. Does it obey existing mail standards? Yes! That's another of the basic reasons the program was originally written! To ensure that the date field, the "From:" line and so on were all added in the correct format. The program is 100% correct according to the RFC-822 electronic mail header protocol guide. 5. What were the main motivating factors? The first two I've already mentioned, but here's a (somewhat partial) list; - To have a mail system that exploited the CRT instead of assuming I'm on a teletype. - To have a mailer that was 100% correct when dealing with network mail (ie RFC-822). - To create a system that needed no documentation for the casual user, but was still powerful enough and sophisticated enough for a mail expert. - To write a "significant" piece of software as a learning experience (I admit it!) - To find out how reasonable it is to try to modify a program to meet the expectations of the users, rather than vice-versa. - To basically correct some of the dumb things that the current mailers do, like letting you send mail to addresses that it could trivially figure out are going to result in 'dead.letter' - To tie in intimately with the pathalias program output, and allow users to specify machine!user or user@machine and have the COMPUTER do the work of figuring out addresses... 6. Is it reliable? The mailer, in various incarnations, has logged literally thousands upon thousands of hours without any problems that aren't now corrected. As new problems arise they're dealt with in as rapid a manner as possible... 7. What should I do now? The first step would be to install the mail system and have the "elm" mailbox/alias expand to my email address (hplabs!taylor). Then, once it's all up and running, drop me a line letting me know that your site is running the system (bookkeeping) and what you and your site think of it. REMEMBER: The product is evolving so if you'd like to have a something change, or have something new added, LET ME KNOW!!! I'd much rather make the change myself than start getting change reports mailed from around the world!! 8.

Note this means that you must create and then install, using .I newalias, a separate alias table for the account this program is to be run from. .P Interface-wise, the program is a breeze to use - type 'answer' to start it up and then merely type a user name at the .nf Message to: .fi prompt, and then enter the message, ending with a blank line. Names can be entered as 'Firstname Lastname' and the system will try to find a mail alias based on the first letter of the first name plus the last name. For example, 'Dave Taylor' will cause the program to search for an alias 'd_taylor' in the file (note the transliteration into lower case). The program will loop until killed or quit. .P .I Answer can be easily exited by typing any of 'quit', 'exit' 'done', or 'bye' at the 'Message to:' prompt. .SH AUTHOR Dave Taylor, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories .SH SEE ALSO .I "Elm Alias Users Guide", by Dave Taylor .sp .br newalias(1L), checkalias(1L), mail(1), mailx(1), from(1L), printmail(1L) .SH FILES $home/.alias_hash individual alias hash table .br $home/.alias_data individual alias data table .br /tmp/snd* edit buffer for outgoing mail END-OF-FILE if [ "$filename" != "/dev/null" ] then size=`wc -c < $filename` if [ $size != 1811 ] then echo $filename changed - should be 1811 bytes, not $size bytes fi chmod 644 $filename fi # ---------- file doc/autoreply.1 ---------- filename="doc/autoreply.1" if [ -f $filename ] then echo File \"$filename\" already exists\!

This is typically during a vacation or some other period of time that the user is not available to reply to mail (although some people get enough mail that they have it permanently running to simply send an "ack" to each message) .PP The system is quite easy to use... You can type "autoreply" and be informed of your current status in the system (on or off), or "autoreply off" will turn your autoreplying off. .PP To add yourself to the system, you need merely to compose a form response in a file somewhere, then type "autoreply " where is the name of the file. .SH "SPECIAL NOTE" For this to function correctly, the program "arepdaemon" must be running as a daemon in background. This program automatically checks all the currently enrolled users for new mail in their mailboxes... .SH AUTHOR Dave Taylor, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories. .SH SEE ALSO .I "Elm Users Guide", by Dave Taylor .sp .br mail(1), mailx(1), elm(1L) .SH "BUGS" Unfortunately, this program isn't too brilliant about identifying mail that shouldn't be responded to (like mail from other daemons, or your mother) but that's a more general problem anyway. .sp Also, occasionally a user will remove themselves from the autoreply system and the system won't turn their autoreply off. This is a problem that hasn't been solved yet (obviously since it's in the "bugs" section!!) and any further information would be appreciated!

It's intended for mailing to very large Xgroups of people in a staggered fashion. X.PP XThe starting options are; X.TP 1.0i X.B "-b bcc-list" XThis allows a list of people to receive blind-carbon copies, or BCCs, of Xthe message. This list should be full email addresses. X.TP X.B "-c cc-list" XThis allows a list of people to receive carbon copies, or CCs, of Xthe message. This list should be full email addresses. X.TP X.B "-d" XDebug. This is helpful for strange, unfriendly errors from Xthe program (etc). X.TP X.B "-f from" XThis overrides the users name in the From: line, so that if Xthe user was x@y, and their name was MrX then the default XFrom: line would be "From: x@y (MrX)". Using "-f Joe" when Xinvoking this, though, would change it to "From: x@y (Joe)" X.TP X.B "-r replyto" XOccasionally, you might send mail but want the replies to go Xto a different address (very common with mailing lists). XThere is a header for this purpose called "Reply-To:" which Xcan be utilized by using this starting option. For example, Xwe could send mail with a reply-to to list-request by Xusing "-r list-request". The header generated would then Xbe of the form "Reply-To: list-request". X.TP X.B "-s subject" XThe subject of the message is specified by using Xthis starting option. X.SH EXAMPLE XLet's say we're user "big" on machine "big-vax" and we have a Xshell script called 'batch-mail' that contains the following Xlines: X.nf X X # X # Batch Mail - batch mailing of a file to a LOT of users X # X # Usage: batch-mail "from" "subject" filename X X sender_copy = $LOGIN X replto = "The-Mr-Big-list" X X fastmail -b $sender_copy -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person1 X sleep 10 X fastmail -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person2 X sleep 10 X fastmail -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person3 X sleep 10 X fastmail -r $replyto -f "$1" -s "$2" $3 person4 X X < etc > X Xwith the invocation: X X batch-mail "Mr. Big" "Warning to all" warning.text X X.fi Xwould mail a copy of the 'warning.text' file to person1, person2, Xperson3, etc. "$LOGIN" will also receive a copy of the first message Xin the mail, \fIsilently\fR. Each resultant message will include the headers: X.nf X X From: big-vax!big (Mr. Big) X Subject: Warning to all X Reply-To: The-Mr-Big-list X X.fi XThis program should turn out to be considerably Xfaster than the alternative methods of accomplishing this task.

If the program is invoked by any account other than the superuser account, the program looks for a file called $home/.alias_text and, upon finding it, creates files $home/.alias_hash and $home/.alias_data for the .I Elm program. .PP If the superuser invokes the program, they are given the option of either updating their personal alias files or the system alias files. The question can be supressed, with the default being the user files for the superuser, if the ``-q'' flag is present upon invokation. .PP The format that the program expects is; .sp .nf alias, alias, .. : comment : address or alias, alias, .. : comment : alias, alias, ... The first form is for an individual user such as; dave, taylor : Dave Taylor : veeger!hpcnou!dat and the second is for defining a group alias such as; gurus : Unix Gurus : alan, john, dave, mike, richard, larry, t_richardson .fi .sp Note that lines can be continued at will, blank lines are accepted without error, and that any line starting with '#' is considered a comment and is not processed. .PP The comment field is thrown away by this program, but it is recommended that it contain the name of the user who the alias is for. .PP Finally, aliases can contain other aliases, and/or groups; .sp .nf unix : Unix people : gurus, taylor, jonboy .fi ' onto the next page, if you please .sp 3 .SH FILES $home/.alias_text alias source for user .br $home/.alias_hash alias hash table for user .br $home/.alias_data alias data file for user .br /usr/mail/.alias_text alias source for system .br /usr/mail/.alias_hash alias hash table for system .br /usr/mail/.alias_data alias data file for system .SH AUTHOR Dave Taylor, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories. .SH SEE\ ALSO elm(1L), checkalias(1L), mail(1), mailx(1) .SH DIAGNOSTICS Newalias has a couple of descriptive error messages which don't need to be detailed here.
