Hi, There Could anybody tell me where the hell I can find the SendMail executable that normally goes in AMITCP:bin/. I am using a registered version of AmiTCP 4.2 and have gone thru all the comm subdirs of Aminet but was unable to get it. The only soft I found is an ARexx script SendMail.rx. If somebody has ths executable, can he or she upload to me as bin mail ? Thank You Philippe REUX Motorola 68040 Inside One Planet, One People Please !

Hi Phillipe, What you want is SMTPost! This can be found in INET-Utils on Aminet. SendMail is an environmental variable that points to SMTPpost and it's associated arguments. I believe you are trying to get mailto: on AMosaic working? Here is one way…well 2 ways! 🙂 In ENVARC: create the following with an ascii text editor……. ENVARC: Variable NAME Actual text entry MY COMMENTS ——————— —————— ——————— EDITOR dh0:textra *your ascii editor SENDMAIL amitcp:bin/smtppost *get from inet-utils NODENAME empirenet *this is my provider DOMAINNAME empirenet.com SMTPMailDir ram:T *directory AM writes to SMTPPOST amitcp:bin/smtppost *actually SENDS the mailto SMTPSmarterHost e2.empirenet.com *this is my POP provider SMTPSpoolDir ram:T *directory AM writes to NNTPPASSWORD <your_password> *allows reading of news NNTPServer news.empirenet.com *allows reading of news NNTPUSERID <your_user_ID> This works for me. Optionally, you can create a script that will do the same thing. The script can be executed right before using AMosaic thus saving on some memory fragmenting. setenv NodeName empirenet setenv DomainName empirenet.com setenv NNTPServer news.empirenet.com setenv SMTPSpoolDir ram:T setenv SMTPSmarterHost e2.empirenet.com setenv SMTPMailDir ram:T setenv NNTPUSERID <your_ID> setenv NNTPPASSWORD <you_password setenv SMTPPOST amitcp:bin/SMTPpost Hope this helps!! Tom

Phillipe, My apologies for my "unformatted" previous post!! I keep forgetting..:-) Here is how I got mailto to work by creating environmental variables. You must have SMTPpost from INet_Utils in your AmiTCP:bin/………. In ENVARC: create the following with an ascii text editor……………… ENVARC: Variable NAME Actual text entry MY COMMENTS ——————— —————— ——————— EDITOR dh0:textra *your ascii editor SENDMAIL amitcp:bin/smtppost *get from inet-utils NODENAME empirenet *this is my provider DOMAINNAME empirenet.com SMTPMailDir ram:T *directory AM writes to SMTPPOST amitcp:bin/smtppost *this is the key! SMTPSmarterHost e2.empirenet.com *this is my POP provider SMTPSpoolDir ram:T *directory AM writes to NNTPPASSWORD <your_password> NNTPServer news.empirenet.com *allows reading news with AM NNTPUSERID <your_user_ID> This works for me. Optionally, you can create a script that will do the same thing..eg. Execute the script right before using your Internet logon. setenv NodeName empirenet setenv DomainName empirenet.com setenv NNTPServer news.empirenet.com setenv SMTPSpoolDir ram:T setenv SMTPSmarterHost e2.empirenet.com setenv SMTPMailDir ram:T setenv NNTPUSERID <your_ID> setenv NNTPPASSWORD <you_password setenv SMTPPOST amitcp:bin/SMTPpost Hope this helps Tom

Thanks for your help, Tom. I have a few questions though. My internet provider is compuserve. So, what should I define for NODENAME, DOMAINNAME, SMTPSmarterHost, NNTPPASSWORD, NNTPServer and NNTPUSERID ? ANd should I add this variables to ENVARC:Mosaic/Prefs or in another file ? Thanks again, Best Regards, Philippe REUX Motorola 68040 Inside One Planet, One People Please !
