DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The Mail Configuration application, mailconfig, is used by
       the system administrator to set up the routing and  delivery
 of mail for the system. The protocols that can be used
       are: DECnet, DECnet/OSI, MTS, UUCP, Internet,  X.25,  POP,
       and  IMAP.   The  configuration  of  POP and IMAP services
       under mailconfig is transparent to the system  administrator.


       Dependencies:  Before using Mail Configuration, be sure to
       configure the system  using  the  following  applications,
       which  you can access from the SysMan Configuration Checklist:
 Network Configuration BIND Configuration NFS Configuration
  UUCP  or  other network protocols that you use to
       send mail NTP NIS

       The mailconfig application can be invoked from:

       The CDE Application Manager
       Application Group: System_Admin
       Desktop_Apps Subgroup: Configuration
       Configuration Subgroup: Mail

       To  start  mailconfig  from  the   command   line,   enter
       /usr/sbin/mailconfig.

       Online  help  is available for the mailconfig application.
       To get help, click on any Help  button  or  use  the  Help
       pull-down menu.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  -focus option is not valid because mail is configured
       throughout a TruCluster Server cluster; hence,  all  nodes
       in the cluster have the same mail configuration.

       For  a cluster to handle any mail protocol, other than the
       Internet protocol,  all  nodes  must  have  that  protocol
       installed,  configured, and operating in the same fashion.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
