Short: AmiTCP SMTP/NNTP utilities v1.4 INetUtils Author: Michael B. Smith Uploader: Michael B. Smith Type: comm/net TITLE INetUtils VERSION 1.4 AUTHOR Michael B. Smith Internet: mbs@adastra.cvl.va.us U.S. Mail: P.O. Box 6791 Charlottesville, VA 22906 USA DESCRIPTION INetUtils is a series of programs designed to allow an Amiga running AS225r2 software (i.e., socket.library capable) or AmiTCP 2.2 (or above) to interact and operate as fully functioning members of an IP network, including the global Internet. Note: IU 1.4 was qualified against AmiTCP 3.0b2, not 4.0. The utility programs consist of: SMTPd : an SMTP daemon SMTPpost : an SMTP posting program SMTPExpand : an SMTP aliases expanding program NNTPpost : an NNTP posting program NNTPXfer : an NNTP article transfer program newgroup : a maintenance program for use with NNTP GetActive : an NNTP active file transfer program AmiPOP : a POP message handler Sabot : A newmail activity program The following man pages are included: SMTPd.man SMTPpost.man SMTPExpand.man NNTPpost.man NNTPxfer.man GetActive.man and describe the operation of each program. To install INetUtils, see the document named INSTALL included in this archive. For basic help in getting SMTPd running, the following script is also included: StartSMTPd which is heavily commented. AmiPOP and Sabot were developed by Scott Ellis (sellis@ucssun1.sdsu.edu) and all communication regarding them should be directed to him. Separate documentation regarding them is included in the AmiPOP and Sabot archives. To properly utilize the NNTP capability requires an NNTP aware newsreader and a mailreader. The 'G' package is presented to meet this need. GRn is Gadtools Read News, which can properly read and post with articles via NNTP directly or read with the local directory setup by NNTPXfer, and post directly using NNTPpost. Documentation is available in AmigaGuide format (GRn.guide). GRn is currently at version 2.1. A commercial version (3.0) is also available. GMail, Gadtools Mail, is available as a commercial product. AmigaELM and the DMail from AmigaUUCP are quite satisfactory for reading mail. NEW FEATURES AND BUG FIXES Too many to list. Read the man pages. If you don't, you'll regret it. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS INetUtils requires AmigaDOS 2.0 or higher. INetUtils comes in two flavors. One for AS225r2 and one for AmiTCP 2.2 and above. One or the other is required. You *must* get the correct archive. HOST NAME INetUtils is available on Aminet FTP sites.
