Hello fellow Listers -
We are attempting to use Telamon's MAIL program in batch (job) mode to send
a message plus attachment to people whose email addresses reside on our
HP3000 (MPEiX 5.5, pp7).
The following is a copy of the email I sent to Telamon this morning. Can
anyone out there help with this?
tia,
Connie

----------
We've downloaded the CM version of the email program, renamed it
CEMAIL.O.CATFANCY. It works just fine in a simple batch program, where the
user can enter his/her address and the recipient's email address, subject,
name of the message file and name of attachment file. We also have a
COBOL program that generates customized messages, and creates a job stream
to send the message - works extremely well.
I've now written a simple COBOL program to take email addresses from our
HP3000 and generate a job file which sends a short message file plus one
attachment. Recipients are included in the -b (blind cc) portion of the
address. In testing, I found that the 'info' portion of the mail program
could not exceed 512 characters (understandable!) and so have split the
addresses into several runs within the job.
The message and attachment files (filename.TXT) have security set to ANY,
so I don't believe there is a problem there.
Tests on Friday - worked well - But over the weekend, we put the new job
streams into production, with varying degrees of success. Some jobs
accepted the first 2 sets of email addresses, then bombed on the next.
Others did not run at all. Error messages include: User unknown, User
address required, some just gave the MAIL parameter list and flushed the
job.
Any suggestions or obvious errors on my part? I originally thought the
MAIL program was validating the email addresses, but that does not appear
to be the case, as I was able to 'send' to invalid emails within our
company, and also to [log in to unmask], a completely bogus address.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
