No problemo. I have a distribution list on MIM for it now.
MIM::US:[BQT]NOTIFY.DIS
Mail uses LEGATO:: as a gateway, so it will not work if LEGATO is down.
I should clarify that it means mail to destination outside of HECnet uses LEGATO. Mail to recipients inside HECnet requires that those specific machines are online (obviously).
Would the CHIMPY::smtp%"foo at bar.com" format work? I use that for some distribution lists on say HILANT..
Sure. Any address works equally well, actually. As long as it's a form of address I can use from MIM. It's just that LEGATO was in my head as a gateway I had used in the past which worked for delivering mail to the internet.
Then have both LEGATO and CHIMPY as relays, I doubt we'd be sending out THAT much mail that getting two copies would bother the recipient too badly..
Up to whomever wants to to tell me what address they want me to send to.
Of course, I will eventually move to my own SMTP client on MIM (once I've written it).

Sampsa,
I am trying to automate the update of the network database on my systems. One email is all I want to see per update request.

Also, sometimes database updates might actually not cause any real
change to the number to name mapping, just as a small warning.
Also, at this time, any additions or removals from that
distribution
are handled be me manually. So let me know if you want to be in or
out of that list.

Johnny,
How much effort would be involved for your procedures to send
email to a distribution list announcing a change to the network
database? I could hook that at my end to the running of
NetUpdateV2.COM which already makes use of the file
NODENAMES.DAT,
that the current procedure produces. The subject would
have to be
unique so that the parser could deal with it. A mail
message that
looked something like this:
To: @netupdate.dis
Subject: NETUPDATE
Content would be ignored. To subscribe all anyone
would have to do
would be to submit a HECnet email address to you. I
will volunteer
one
right now to test with - SGC::SYSTEM.
Hmm.. Eventually that would be easy, but the one snag
right now is that
I still do not have a resolver library for RSX finished.
Once I've done
this, I can do any such automation quite easily.
It might be that I could set it up using a DECnet-SMTP
gateway right
now. I just need to check this out a little. Let me come
back to you in
a day or so. Right now I'm trying to understand how
network booting
PDP-11s work...
Johnny
Aw, heck. I get distracted easily...
So, to make things clear - you'd like to get a mail with
a specific
subject line? I figured out how to do that. The sender
will be me, and
the to-line would be you... I can set that up now, if you
want to test
it.
