how do I foreward mail
Hi, I am using the mail trasport agent included with slink. i would like to foreward some users mail to their personal accounts at their isp. I cant seem to find any documentation on how to do this, would someone please tell me how to set up forewarding. Do I use a .foreward file, and if so what is the format. or do i set them up in the aliases file to point to their home addresses. Help Please Jeff Katcher

How to Email a Binary file from the command line
Hi all I am wondering if anyone knows how to send a binary (.tar.gz) file from the command line? I am trying to write a batch (Sorry my old DOS stuff coming back) program that tars and gzipps up some directorys and then emails them to me. All this for the purpose of backing up my config files. I can get the script to tar up the directorys that I want, and then gzip them, but i can't figure out how to email them. My system: P-166 64M RAM 1G HD Debian Slink Smail (I think - it is the default MTA that comes with Hamm) Thanks in advance Jeff

I can get the script to tar up the directorys that I want, and then gzip them, but i can't figure out how to email them. You are looking for the mimeit command in the metamail package. example: [prompt]$ cat mytar.tar.gz |mimeit application/x-gtar/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the subject of the mail Cool, it worked, I think. When it gets to the other end i get several messages all with attachments called Part 1 Part 2. How do I get my original file back again at the other side? (Im in windows using netscape if it makes a difference - if I can just find out what has been done to it maybe I can get it back!) Thank you so far
Re: How to Email a Binary file from the command line
It splits the file up into chunks and sends it one chunk per mail because some mail transports will reject mail over a certain size. I don't know how netscape re-assembles these chunks. It Dosn't You can try making the default chunksize larger so that it is not split. To do this, you can add the -s option to the end of the command, along with the maximum message size. For example: [prompt]$ cat mytar.tar.gz |mimeit application/x-gtar/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject -s 1000 Worked Like a charm!! Thank you Very much! When sent like this it sends the file in a format that Netscape can understand and I get the file intact. I suppose if i get some software for windows that will reassemble a mime text file, I will be able to use the split messages. I don't think i will need this for a while yet. Thanks again!

When I run XF86Setup, I select PS/2 mouse and set the device to be /dev/psaux and apply the changes, but moving the mouse does not move the cursor. /SNIP Does the mouse work before you apply the changes. If so just don't change anything!! Jeff Katcher -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
