Re: MAILBOOK hodie resurrexi
David, That is such good news. I hope it stays alive and well for a long time. Once the dust settles and you get a handle on how many users there are you might come up and do a presentation on MAILBOOK and re-introduce it to the New York area. I kept trying to get Richard to come to MVMUA but it never worked out. good luck Bill Munson IT Specialist Office of Information Technology State of New Jersey (609) 984-4065 President MVMUA http://www.marist.edu/~mvmua David Boyes wrote: In keeping with the sentiments of the Easter holiday, I'm pleased to announce that Sine Nomine has come to an agreement with Richard Schafer to continue to make MAILBOOK commercially available as well as providing ongoing support and maintenance contracts for MAILBOOK.

More information (and a more formal announcement press release, etc) will be posted at http://www.sinenomine.net/vm/mailbook. We're really excited about this. Maintaining an early version of MAILBOOK got me my first real VM sysprog job (lo these many years ago) and letting it pass away with a whimper just didn't feel right.

Programmable operator
I'm trying to get a programmable operator to do something and it isn't working. I've done some reading in the manual and have looked at some existing code but no luck. What I want to accomplish is to send an e-mail to a userid called PROPSCAN ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The message gets sent to our VM SMTP server with no problem and SMTP then sends it/delivers it/routes it to PROPSCAN's RDR and there it sits. In the RTABLE for PROPSCAN I have it coded such that anything come from SMTP will start an EXEC. The EXEC will then parse that RDR file and I'll take appropriate actions based on key words I'm looking for. Is this doable? If so, what have I missed? Thanks, Steve G.

Re: Programmable operator
I wasn't aware that PROP will act upon something being delivered in the reader queue. It likes messages, not queue elements.

Re: Programmable operator
You need to trap the message RDR FILE FROM in class 3 (async CP message). A problem is that when a RDR file arrives when the PROP machine would not be active, your action routine will not see the RDR file. Therefore, an action routine for RDR files should be able to handle more than 1 file sitting in the reader. This way, when a new file arrives it will handle all files it didn't see yet. For this reason, a server that uses WAKEUP (RDR is better suited. WAKEUP will wake up when new files arrive as well as when old files are waiting in the RDR queue. Have a look at my RxSERVER package on VM's download lib. The stanbard code we deliver will react to RDR files, and will check authority etc. For special handling (i.e. more than simply receiving it on the A-disk) you have to insert some REXX lines at the provided exit points. 2007/4/9, Tom Duerbusch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I wasn't aware that PROP will act upon something being delivered in the reader queue.
