| 14.1 | Scope of logical? | DECWIN::FISHER | Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23 | Thu Jan 26 1989 12:50 | 14 |
| Well, it certainly works fine if you
$Define name "node::device:[dir]file.dis"
and then refer to it as @name. In regular VMS mail, I have done as
you suggested, defining name as @filename, and then referring to name
in mail, but I have not tried it in DECW mail. Are you sure the
scope of you logical is right? I.e. it is defined on the right
machine and job? The mail client itself must be able to see it
whereever it is running from.

| and worse (I know I ought to QAR this), try DEFINE/SYS foobar
@sys$manager:some-file-that-ain't-there and then attempt to send to it.
Mail goes into a loop creating empty error boxes. Yuch! (and I found
this out trying to help Al!)

This is getting interesting... Norm's example does do bad things,
in a Local Server, Remote Server, Remote Session Manager...
I'll make more attempts in the morning, it is important to
note that the scope of the logical name is GROUP-wide on
all the cluster nodes. The logical names work via the
standard DCL MAIL.... More to come... or should Norm and
myself combine this as a QAR ?

How doesn't it work? Exactly what happens when you try it? How
and where are you defining the logical and how are you starting
DECW$MAIL?

We know there's a problem with trying to send to a non-existent
distribution list. But normal logicals work fine, at least here
(I've got a logical for my wife's account, defined /GROUP, and
it works fine).

| This is from Al, I'm not the one with the distribution list/logical problem!
try defining a logical to point to a distribution list but put the "@" in the
logical name definition (so you send mail to DIST rather than to @DIST).
also when sys$scratch is defined as a search list, and the first directory spec
is invalid (device not mounted or something), then the acknowlegement window
presents the errors in reverse order of the search list.
