Michael, We are one of the sites that use a modified version of JTMAIL. We got the original version from Jim Wochuck, through Jeff Kell's site (if I remember correctly). It is invoked using a command file that provides 'usage' help to the user and also utilizes an auxiliary file with 'valid' recipients. I could make it available if you wish. The following is the 'help' text of our command file: <SYS>:mailit ? Usage: MAILIT Recipient 'subject' msgfile [delflag] [attach] Recipient A seven character payroll number or "Payroll#,Payroll#,..." or a previously defined "distribution list" or Full "ISA" (Internet Style Address) of recipient or "ISA -r ISA -r..." i.e. "[log in to unmask]" Subject The subject of the message. Use *single* quote marks around it if comprised of multiple words avoiding any quote marks within the subject. msgfile Name of text file containing the message, qualified to the extent needed. A 'msgfile' of '$' allows the user to enter the message text from '$stdin'. In batch, the message text MUST be terminated by the MPE command '!EOD', while in session by a ':eod' or a single '.' period followed by a carriage return. delflag YES/[NO] Indicates whether the msgfile should be purged after it is transmitted. Default is 'NO'. (This flag is set to 'NO' when inputting from $STDIN) attach YES/[NO] Indicates whether the msgfile should be attached to the text supplied by the user from the terminal. If this flag is set to 'YES' the user will be prompted to supply some text from $stdin and the file will be attached to it. NOTE: The 'from' field is set to [log in to unmask] If you wish to have something else appear in the 'from' field you may control that by setting the variable 'MAILUSER' to the desired name. Keep in mind that said name will be used to return to you, to your e-mail account, any errors that maybe encountered during the mailing process. i.e. setvar MAILUSER [log in to unmask] Regards Paul H.

It would be nice if I could xeq a command like: :IF FINFO('/Reports/Dailyjobs/xxxrep.txt','Exists') = True : SENDMAIL Envelop=/maillist/thisjobsusers.txt; & : Text=/msgtxt/thisjobsmsg.txt; & : Subject="Daily xxx Report attached"; & : Attach=/Reports/Dailyjobs/xxxrep.txt :Endif : The "Envelop" file would contain the Target e-mail addresses. The "Text" file contains the actual message text. The "Subject" contains the subject. The "Attach" file is actually the attached file :-). As anybody written/ported a program like SENDMAIL to the HP3000 yet? Where can I find it? How much is it going to cost? Michael Anderson COMPAQ Computer Corp. (281) 518-9951
