3550.0. "VMSmail to ALL-IN-1 automatic import needed." by HPOP03::TROTTI () Thu Nov 18 1993 16:27

Can someone please tell me if there is a flag/switch/thingie that
will automatically forward a users VMSmail to ALL-IN-1 mail without
user intervention.

In the past I have used the VMSmail command SET FORWARD but am 
not anxious to do it for 200 users.

If it isn't a feature of ALL-IN-1, has someone written a script 
to do, or even modified MUA_CREATE to do it for new users.

Any help will be appreciated,

3550.1No switch, but scripts exist to do thisGUIDUK::MCKAYDown another rat hole...Thu Nov 18 1993 17:0213
    I don't believe that there is a switch to do what you want to do.  You
    can write a script that is invoked upon the user entering ALL-IN-1 to
    import any existing new vmsmail messages into ALL-IN-1.  I am not
    certain, but I think you also need to have the VMSMAILGATEWAY product.
    
    We setup this automatic VMSMAIL import for my customer.  The only
    drawback is that once the user is in ALL-IN-1, any new VMSMAIL that is
    received, must be manually imported (ala "V").  If this is what you
    want to accomplish, I can post the script we use.

3550.2Best to use SET FORWARDBOOZER::MARTIN::BELLMartin Bell, NETCC, Birmingham UKThu Nov 18 1993 17:2023
You could change the starting menu in their PROFIL records to be

EM V

...which will automatically import messages, but this is not the best
way for various reasons.

The BEST way is to perform a SET FORWARD command from VMSmail, but
you need Message Router and the VMSmail gateway running for this to
work.

Doing this for 200 users is no big deal, as you can write a command
file to do it from a privileged account!

To answer your question, there IS a flag, but that is the SET FORWARD
command! ALL-IN-1 does not have a "flag", because unless someone gives
it a prod, it doesn't know that there are any VMSmail messages to do
anything with.

3550.3This is easy...SCOTTC::MARSHALLSpitfire Drivers Do It ToplessThu Nov 18 1993 17:2515
Here's a script that, when run from a suitably privileged account, will
set up VMSmail forwarding for all your ALL-IN-1 users (assuming you have
MRGATE installed):

GET OA$DCL="MAIL"
FOR PROFIL WITH .MAIDES EQS "ALLIN1" OR .MAIDES EQS "ALL-IN-1" DO -
    GET OA$DCL = "SET FORWARD/USER=" .VMSUSR " MRGATE::A1::" .USER
GET OA$DCL="EXIT"
                                                       ^^
                                                       ^^
If your ALL-IN-1 mailbox isn't called A1, then change this appropriately.

You can change the WITH clause to pick out any subset of users you want.
