Message-ID: Date: 1 Mar 90 16:52:19 GMT Sender: scott@grlab.UUCP Organization: Graphicus, Inc., Kirkland, WA USA Lines: 44 I'm a new user to mh. I'm running on a couple different HP-UX systems with these options: version: MH 6.6 #1[UCI] (ics) of Tue May 24 15:51:53 PDT 1988 options: [ATZ] [SYS5] [BERK] [TTYD] [DUMB] [NDIR] [MHE] [NETWORK] [RPATHS] [MHRC] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [MORE='"/usr/bin/more"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] Some questions... 1) Should I be using the "BERK" option on HP-UX? any other options that I should change? 2) For lack of knowing any better alternatives...I've done a script that scans my +inbox piping the results to a nawk script that spits out refile commands to auto-file my mail into appropriate folders. I also want to "bounce" some messages to other people. Is there some way to do this with mh/dist/rcvdist/whatever without having to do an edit? I always get something like this from rcvdist: -- Posting for All Recipients -- post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available /net/sw/mh/lib/post: Exit 1 I tried using dist with -form where the file had a Resent-To: addr1 addr2 line in it using the command dist 16 -anno -nodraft -noedit -nowhat -inplace -form and nothing got delivered. What I'm currently doing is doing an 'anno' of the message to add an "X-Bounced-To" header, then feeding it to /usr/lib/sendmail -... Is the "recommended" way of doing such things? 3) Is there any better way of "auto-filing" the messages? I've looked .maildelivery stuff, but it didn't seem to be flexible enough for I wanted to do. 4) My mh messages seem to end with a couple of Return-Path headers. Is inc adding one to them? Should it be? Thanx, -- Scott Blachowicz E-mail: scott@grlab.UUCP USPS: Graphicus ..or.. ...!hpubvwa!grlab!scott 150 Lake Str S, #206 VoicePh: 206/828-4691 Kirkland, WA 98033 FAX: 206/828-4236
