Yahmail, Utilities, Yet another Hypermail Disclaimer ========== While this Yahmail distribution for the hp OpenVMS freeware CD was packaged by Martin P.J. Zinser (zinser@dzinser.no-ip.info) and I am certainly willing to help with questions and problems concerning its usage I am in no way at all remotely anything like the author of this very fine piece of software. Mark Daniels has done this pretty much alone and deserves all due credit for his effort. ================================================================================ Installation The procedure build_yahmail.com can be called with up to four parameters in arbitrary order. BUILD||COMPILE||LINK BUILD compiles and links the Yahmail executable, COMPILE and LINK just perform the respective actions. If no parameter is given a compile and link is performed by default. MIME Build Yahmail with support for MIME encoded messages. PMDF Build Yahmail with support for PMDF mail in case this is installed on your system. LANG Build Yahmail with Userinterface in: English, German, Spanish, or Russian Setup To copy the freshly build scripts to the CGI directory of your Webserver use @install . INSTALL should be used for new installations (providing a initial configuration and startup file), while UPDATE is appropriate to upgrade an existing Yahmail installation to the latest version. For OSU and using an account other than the one the Webserver runs on one might need to define www_root to an appropriate value before invoking the procedure. Config files It might be neccessary to change the configuration of your Webserver to account for the new scripts. Some hints on this come with the source code for * Apache (readme_apache.html) * generic CGI (readme_cgi.html) * OSU (readme_osu.html) * WASD (readme_wasd.html) The latest version of this document should always be accessible via http://zinser.no-ip.info/vms/sw/yahmail.htmlx
