To install this version of the mailsystem, do the following:
(1) If you haven't done so already, load the contents of the MM
tape onto your system.
(2) If you have any non-DEC terminal types, edit the file
BLANKT.MAC as appropriate for your site. The file BLANKT.SU
is a BLANKT.MAC for Stanford's monitor, and may be used as a
model. If you have the MIT VTS display terminal support,
rename BLANKT.VTS to BLANKT.MAC.
(3) SUBMIT BUILD-MM.CTL with a sufficient /TIME: switch. An hour
is more than enough; you want to avoid a 1-minute time limit
though.
(4) If BUILD-MM.CTL completes successfully, go on. Otherwise
report the problem to me (Mark Crispin).
(5) The mailsystem has now been built. Install all the EXE files
built on SYS:. Make sure their protections are 775252;
certain modules WILL NOT WORK if installed execute-only (e.g.
protection 771212)!!
(6) If you have not done so already, create MAIL: and MAILQ: as
system-wide logical names pointing to the following
directories:
Name MAIL: MAILQ:
Directory PS:<MAIL> PS:<MAIL.QUEUE>
Generations
to keep 1 0
Dflt file prot 775252 770000
Directory prot 774040 774444
Disk allocs +INF +INF
Be sure to edit your n-CONFIG.CMD appropriately.
(7) If you have not done so already, edit your SYSJOB.RUN or
PTYCON.ATO file to create an OPERATOR job running SYS:MMAILR.
MMailr must run in its own job, as it spawns off several
sub-processes.
(8) If you were running an earlier version of MMailr, make sure
your SYSTEM:MAILER.FLAGS is moved to MAIL:MAILER.FLAGS. You
will still need to have it protected 777070.
(9) Use your existing MAIL:MAILING-LISTS.TXT file or edit then
install the <MM>MAILING-LISTS.TXT file on MAIL:. It should
be protected 775252.
(10) Install <MM>DOMAINS.TXT on MAIL: after editing it as
appropriate for your site. If you aren't on any networks,
you can probably dispense with DOMAINS.TXT altogether
You are now ready to run the new release of the mailsystem.
If you have any problems please contact me.
