sendmail-remote.2.0
29 August 1996

Original Author: Carl Edman <cedman@princeton.edu>

Current Maintainer: Timothy J. Luoma <luomat@nerc.com>

WHAT IT DOES:
	Using 'rsh', this script will allow you to run 'sendmail'
	on a machine other than your own (assuming you have 'rsh'
	permissions on that machine, usually via an '.rhosts' file)

HOW TO USE IT:
	When you 'gunzip' the file, you will get a file named:

	sendmail-MY.MAILHUB.HOSTNAME.HERE

	RENAME that file to 'sendmail-hostname' where 'hostname' is
	the name of the host which you want to use.  For example,
	if you worked for NeXT and wanted to use their machine, you
	might call this script:

	sendmail-mail.next.com

	Or if your ISP had a machine you could use called
	"powerful.isp.com" you would call this script
	"sendmail-powerful.isp.com"
	
	Once you have renamed the file, make sure it is executable
	(chmod 755 /path/to/the/file, for example) and place it in
	some folder/directory of your choosing.  /usr/local/bin or
	~/Unix/bin might be good choices.

	THEN, go to Mail.app Preferences->Expert Preferences.  Go
	to the "Mailer" preference (it probably says
	"/usr/lib/sendmail" currently) and  enter the FULL ABSOLUTE
	PATH to the script (that means no using "~" in the path!!!)

BUGS/WARNINGS/NOTES:

	1-10) Use at your own risk
	
	11) I've tried to make this as idiot-proof as possible, but
		one can only do so much when one is trying to figure
		out what others might do. If for some reason it
		can't run sendmail on the remote host, it will run
		sendmail on the local host (sendmail better be found
		in /usr/lib for that to work!!!) which means that
		no mail SHOULD ever be lost.  However, unexpected
		things do happen.
	
	12) Per usual, I have put in many, many comments in the script

	13) I have a pretty neat way of dealing with dynamic IP's and 
		an .rhosts file using 'procmail', if anyone's interested,
		let me know.

	14) There is no point #14

	15) Carl Edman knows nothing of this new release.  However I have 
		kept his name associated with it, and am not charging 
		any $$ for this.
	
	16) There is no point #16
	
	17) This was originally part of Carl's 'mailapp-utilities' package
		which can be found at:
		ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/binaries/mail/mailapp-utilities.1.5.NIHS.bs.tar.gz
