MASTGATE can now be used on standalone configuration and on
non-NetWare LANs. Just set PMAIL up for standalone operation as
explained in GUIDE.EXE and set up the gateway as explained in
MASTGATE.DOC, then do the following:
1) Add 3 entries to [WAFFLE.IMPORT] section:
NOTIFYPROG = "command line of the program to notify %s"
This line, if present, is used to send new mail
notifycation to users who received mail. you can use %s up
to 3 times in this string and it will be expanded to user
name. Quotes are necessary and make sure you don't exceed
128 characters. Import invokes another copy of your
command processor to execute the command, so you can use
batch files here as well.
GROUPDIR = D:\path\to\groups
As Import can not query group members from NetWare if
NetWare is not present, you have to create the needed
groups manually. Each group is in separate text file
with the group name as filename and with extension
".GRP", the file contents are one user name per line.
For example, TWOUSERS.GRP could contain 2 lines
USERONE
USERTWO
Import does not allow groups inside groups and just
ignores nonexistant users in this file.
MYNAME = USERNAME
If SELFNOTIFY setting is set to NO, then you should set
this variable to the user name who runs the gateway,
when sending notifycation messages, Import will just check
for and skip this user.
2) Make sure that your users have their personal names set in
PMAIL preferences - PMAIL does not fill them automatically.
This is not required, but message headers do look more
friendly with personal names.
When running under NetWare, user names can be over 40 characters
long, but in standalone configuration you are limited to 8
characters. Import uses the same way as PMAIL to locate user's
mail directory - it will just add first 8 characters of the user
name to MAILDIR and see if this directory exists. If it does
not, message is sent to POSTMASTER instead.
