- on the local machine via SMTP.
-
- If you have enabled POP support and you want this to be the
- default method of accessing new mail, you will need to change
- the values of the variables "servers", "pophost", "localname",
- and possibly "mmailid".
-
- a) "servers" defines the server to which you send outgoing SMTP
- traffic.
-
- b) "pophost" defines the server that runs the POP daemon, and to
- which `inc' and `msgchk' will query for new mail.
-
- c) "localname" defines the hostname that nmh considers local.
- If not set, then nmh queries your OS for this value. You may
- want to change this if you wish your e-mail to appear as if it
- originated on the POP server.
-
- d) "mmailid" is checked to see if nmh should do username
- masquerading. If the value of this field is non-zero, then
- nmh will check if the pw_gecos field in the password file
- has the form
-
- Full Name <fakeusername>
-
- If the pw_gecos field has this form, then the internal nmh
- routines that find the username and full name of a user will
- return "fakeusername" and "Full Name" respectively. This is
- useful if you wish messages that you send to appear to come
- from the username of your POP account, rather than your username
- on the local machine.
-
- If you compile with POP support, but only want to use it occasionally,
- then you can always use the `-host' and `-user' options to `inc'
- and `msgchk' instead of changing `mts.conf'.
-
- Check the `mh-tailor' man page for a list of all the available
- options for this file.
-
-6) If you have enabled POP support, make sure that `pop3' (or more
- precisely the value of the define POPSERVICE in config.h) is defined
- in the /etc/services file (or its NIS/NIS+ equivalent) on the client
- machine. It should be something equivalent to "110/tcp". This might
- have already been done when the pop daemon was installed.
-
-7) Edit the file `mhn.defaults' (installed in the nmh `etc' directory).
- This file contains the default profile entries for the nmh command
- `mhn' and is created by the script `mhn.defaults.sh'. This script
- will search a generic path (essentially your $PATH) for programs to
- handle various content types (for example, xv to display images).
- You can re-run this script and give it a more tailored path. You may
- want to re-run this script later if you install new programs to
- display content. An example of this is:
-
- cd support/general
- ./mhn.defaults.sh /usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/ucb > mhn.defaults
+ on the local machine.
+
+ Check the `mh-tailor' man page for a list of all the available options
+ for this file ("masquerade" may be of particular interest).
+
+6) Edit the file `mhn.defaults' (installed in the nmh `etc' directory).
+ This file contains the default profile entries for the nmh commands
+ mhlist/mhstore/mhshow and is created by the script `mhn.defaults.sh'.
+ This script will search a generic path (essentially your $PATH) for
+ programs to handle various content types (for example, xv to display
+ images). You can re-run this script and give it a more tailored
+ path. You may want to re-run this script later if you install new
+ programs to display content. An example of this is:
+
+ % cd support/general
+ % ./mhn.defaults.sh /usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/ucb > mhn.defaults
