I'm trying to develop an application that make use of the MAIDES profile
field, but I've got some programming problem...
My goal is to be able to do take different actions upon receiving different
kinds of mail (using the subject field): if it's
a particular subject i've to run an all-in-1 script, in all the other
cases i've to forward the mail to a Distribution list.
The problem is forwarding to this distribution list: i've tried with
this command (more or less) in the .COM procedure, spedified in the
MAIDES:
...
$ write oamailbox "oa mail forward @dist"
$ @dclmailbox
...
but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know if i've to do something other before forwarding the
message?
Is there another way to do this?
The only thing i was able to do, was putting an entry in the pending
file for each user in the distribution list, that is
...
$ write oamailbox "oa cab put_pending ..."
...
but it's not a good solution!
I hope someone could help me!

Paola,
Firstly you must begin by spelling the product name correctly as you
will notice the gentle reminder when you open this conference.
The product name is of course ALL-IN-1.
Secondly, you can't use MAIL FORWARD in quite the way you want to
unless you add the /NOSEND qualifier. You need this because you have to
expand the distribution list yourself using MAIL EXPAND_DIST_LIST.
So whereas MAIL FORWARD "account-name" will work for a single user, for a
DL you need to do: MAIL FORWARD "@DL", MAIL EXPAND_DIST_LIST, MAIL SEND.
Regards,
Andrew.D.Wicks

I believe a number of ASSETS packages might help you. Try MYMAIL or the
Mail Filter for a start. Then perhaps look at the ALL-IN-1 Personal
Assistant (which isn't available from ASSETS). These packages all deal
with mail in one shape or another and can provide some prototype code
that you can adapt to your own needs.
