But I am script impaired, and wanting to follow the instructions I got with
imailsrv.pl
The WPP is willing, and I remember enough programming (from my days writing
in Sinclair Basic for my Timex computers) to conclude that the imailsrv.pl
script looks like it will work without my intervention, so I figure I'm OK
there - and I can handle the form html.
The readme file says to "Copy imailcgi to your "\WINNT\SYSTEM32"
directory... "
OK, fine, he's going to copy it.
I'm asking about the parameters - the last parameter mostly ....
>>>2. Run "imailcgi -install yourhost.domain.top-level-domain (e.g
imail.ipswitch.com) youruserid@domain (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED])"<<<
You see, he is the one doing it, but we don't think the setup wants his
address. (mine? - the list server?)
Perhaps if someone could tell us what the address youruserid@domain is used
for, it would help understand what we need to enter.
