General overview
================

Suppose you have AmiTCP,InetUtils1.3 & MultiUser on your amiga.
As you know, incoming mail from SMTPd (the mail daemon) will be put in
UUMAIL:username, so everybody can read or delete your private mail.
In UNIX systems incoming mail is usually stored in your $HOME/MAIL/mailbox
and is readable only by you.
That's why MailDeliver comes !

With MailDeliver incoming mail to 'user'@your.amiga.internet.address will be 
appended in $HOME/MAIL/'user', where $HOME is the home of 'user' specified
in the multiuser passwd file.

If MailDeliver finds a file named ".forward" in your $HOME , incoming
mail will be delivered to the new address specified in the first line
of this file by calling MySMTPPost.

If 'user' doesn't exist on your amiga-system, MailDeliver will send the message
back to the sender complaining that 'user' is unknown.

The file $HOME/MAIL/'user' will have 'user' as owner and will be have the
following protection bits  ----rwed group ---- other ---- so that nobody except
'user' will be able to read it.

Nice isn't it ?

MailDeliver also adds a line like "From Maildeliver on date xxx hour xxx"
at the beginning of each mail file; this is done for compatiblity with
AmigaElm.


Usage
=====

MailDeliver 'user'@your.amiga.internet.address <MAILFILE

or

MailDeliver 'user'@ <MAILFILE

Example:

You may want to send a local message to user "pippo", to do this you
can type the command:

MailDeliver pippo@ <MAILFILE 
	or 
MailDeliver pippo@your.amiga.internet.address <MAILFILE 
where MAILFILE is the file containing the message.

With such command the contents of MAILFILE will be appended to
HOME/MAIL/pippo , where HOME is the home of user "pippo".
If the directory MAIL doesn't exist, maildeliver will create it!

How To Install for use with InetUtils
=====================================

To install you simply have to copy MailDeliver and MySMTPPost in AmiTCP:bin/ 
(inet:bin) and add the following line to the file S:StartSMTPd (read the 
InetUtils documentation too !)

	SetEnv SMTPRMAIL MailDeliver

Then do the following:

	setowner AmiTCP:bin/MailDeliver root
	mprotect AmiTCP:bin/MailDeliver urwed GROUP re OTHER re


The following environment variables must be set up for the programs to work
correctly: NODENAME,DOMAINNAME,HOSTNAME (if you have AmiTCP and InetUtils
already installed you should have defined them).

Is MailDeliver package FREEWARE ?
=================================

Yes it is, but if you are using it on your system  i'd like to receive an 
e-mail from you , just to know how many amigas are connected to internet 
(in this sense you could say that this package is E-MAILWARE)

Release version
