SMTP

[Jan van den Ende]

Fox,

I think your best solution will be to upgrade TCPIP.
The TCPIP version that is released by default with 7,2 (and installed be default if upgrading TO 7,2) _IS_ (DEC - that is how ols 7,2 IS) TCPIP services 5.0. (but be sure to instal the ECO straight away - native 5,0 is just too buggy ).
Maybe check the realease notes of the various TCP 5.x releases, and see what "new" features are desirable enough.

It is perhaps asking a bit too much that more modern functionality would work nicely on VERY OLD software ..

hth

Proost.

Have one on me.

Thats correct Joseph...

I just mentioned Bill.Smith as an example.

Upgrading TCPIP at this point is not possible.

Thanks

If you really need it :

define/char corrected 1
set que *SMTP*/char=CORRECTED
and write a dcl (or whatever) program that :
1) show que/fu and take the file that was submitted
2) open the file and take the file name out of it
3) open that file and scan for "From:" and corrected what is written there.
4) set entry x/char=CORRECTED
and you'll have mail.

I only tested 3) and it works (on 5.1)

fwiw

Forget the char trick : the generic queue doesn't support it and the server queue accepts it but ignores it. Just do the reque of the stopped generic queue to the server queue by hand (set entr/req).

For 3) : rename it to ;1 after change.

Our mailserver requires that the from exists in its db. If not : drop mail.
