MYMAIL,Utility, A program to use vms mail syntax in a communigate-pro environment
This utility can send mail (files) from batch and dcl procedures using
a vmsmail syntax via the communigate pro mail system. This makes it
easy to replace VMS-mail by communicate pro without changing all
existing DCL procedures that use VMS mail as mail product.
The following syntax is supported:
MAIL file to[,to[,to...] [/qualifiers]
p1 : The file to send (default = .TXT)
p2 : The user(s) to send to
Distribution lists are supported via the "@file" (default .DIS)
upto a depth of 10 levels.
in .dis files the !-sign is taken as comment delimiter
and empty lines are ignored.
Qualifiers
/signature_file Get the signature file from VMSMAIL_PROFILE
/signature_file=filename Use this file as a signature file
(default extension .TXT)
/subject="Subject text") Subject information
/self Include the (vms-)username in the TO list
/personal_name Get the personal_name from VMSMAIL_PROFILE
/personal_name="Name" Use this as personal name
Extra qualifiers for mymail (debugging)
/log Return the resulting mailfile
/verbose Tell a lot of info about the phases
e.g.
mail x john,@list/subject="test"/self/signature
sends x.txt to john,'vmsuser' and everyone in list.dis
the subject is "test"
and append the signature file from VMSMAIL_PROFILE to the
text in x.txt
Usage:
Define a logical (mymail_location) pointing to the target directory
for mymail. You can define it to sys$scratch for testing
Normally it will contain something like
SYS$SPECIFIC:[COMMUNIGATE.SUBMITTED]
$define mymail_location sys$specific:[communigate.submitted][/system]
Define a foreign command (can be done in SYS$SYLOGIN)
$mai*l:=$device:[directory]mymail
From now on the MAIL command will be processed by the mymail image
This image needs BYPASS or READALL to open VMSMAIL_PROFILE, so it
should be installed with /PRIV=BYPASS or /PRIV=READALL.
