I am trying to get waffle (1.64 under DOS 5.0) to talk to Pegasus Mail (Pmail 2.2R4 under Novell 2.15) I have set up a user-definable gateway in pegasus mail as follows: Gateway Name: UUCP New mail path: SYS: WAFFLE/USER/%S Is this a program to run?: N New mail search mask: *.* Outgoing mail path: VOL1:USERS/%S Run for outgoing mail: rmail < %S Filename format: %04x%04x.CNM Run to validate address: Reply address format: %s@ccct.uucp (ccct is the waffle site name) Accepts SMTP addresses: Y Simple message headers?: N UUEncode attachments?: Y Burst Messages?: Y Strip GW name?: N Check new mail every 0 seconds This actually works to RECEIVE mail (mail comes into waffle addressed to scott@ccct.uucp and pegasus mail reads it into its folders (deleting it out of waffle). If I create waffle accounts for all the novell users then it should work fine. The problem is getting it to send mail out. What I want to do (I think) is feed the mail (Pegasus supplies it in RFC-822 format with all the necessary headers) to waffle's rmail. The problem is the rmail wants the address as an argument and pegasus mail puts it in the body of the file. How can I get it out (I don't have C and want to avoid QBASIC if I can). I think if I set "Simple message headers: Y" that it will put the address as the first line of the file although that still doesn't seem to help. What I need is awk for DOS :-((( Has anyone got this to work? For now I think I am going to tell rmail to feed all mail to my home machine where I can run awk (how about starting a unix is better than dos war :-)) on it and feed it back to smail. This doesn't seem like an optimal solution. Any ideas? scott p.s. is there something weird I can do with the waffle paths file to create a bogus site or something to tell rmail to mail to? p.p.s. I think I hate DOS. -- Scott J.M. Campbell The truth hurts... Oh sure, maybe not as much as Skypod Communications Inc. jumping onto a bicycle with the seat missing... Toronto, Ont.
