Sendfile - automatic
file sender over TCP/IP networks. It sends files from clients to mail host
just
after the connection is established. This could be an ASCII or binary file
(for coding binary
files
uuencode.exe from Mail2 package is used). As a Sendfile's command line
parameter the name
of
the configuration file is used. Here
you could see an example of such configuration file. While
Sendfile
is working a short statistic file, like this one
, is being created. Special variables such as
%today,
%yesterday, %month, %lastmonth (I think, it's clear what're they mean)
could be used in
letter's
Subject.

Sortmail - automatic
sorter for regular information sending over TCP/IP networks. It sorts files
just
after the connection to the mail host is established. The letters are sorting
by the subject field,
could
be encoded and consist of several parts. The configuration file, like
this, is to be in the
current
directory. The statistics is being stored in a file similar to this
one.

Two small resident utilities f8fix
and f8fixed
prevents sending binary files marked as text. They
control
sending files by the mostly used file extensions. Just one or another utility
must be running
before
Mail2 starts. First one prevents the Enter or F10 key pressing, while another
tries to simulate
the
F8 key pressing. These utilities depend on the motherboard type you use
very much. It mostly
looks
like that just one of them will work at your system.

The resident program sortfix
is designed to check the accuracy of the Subject field if regular
information
is sending, i.e. if the mail is sending to the address where Sortmail is
used to sort the
incoming
information. Configuration file (see the example
) should be located in the same directory
with
the program.
It's
first line must contain this address and other lines indicates allowed
Subject fields.

The resident utility muue
prevents Mail2 from breaking sending files apart. It was used for
earlier
versions of Mail2 which were unable to decode files if they were sent breaking
apart. It may
be
useful for you anyway.
