2230.0. "SENDing attachment using MIME from LNX" by ROM01::WIRELESS () Mon May 12 1997 19:50

    
    
    
    
    
 Hi,
    I successfully can receive in LNX messages composed with DOC
    attachments from Netscape-mail (composition Mime compliant Quoted
    Printable). The same doesn't work likewise when I send a DOC object from LNX to
    Netscape-mail users. Below you can see what I receive instead of
    simpletest plus the livelik to the attachment.
    I'm using lastt osf.cpio, default settings in mimetags.txt and
    extmail.cfg. I've read MAILCONF guidelines but I don't understand what
    can be wrong:
    Any hint is wellcome,
    
    _Giuseppe

2230.1	Use "MimeBodyType: none"	UTROP1::utoschimmel1.uto.dec.com::SCHIMMEL_B	`Tue May 13 1997 09:03`	25
	Giuseppe, The message shown in .-1 has a LinkWorks private structure. This implies that LinkWorks external mail is not working in MIME send mode. By default MIME receive mode is enabled. You need to set MIME send mode explicitly. Use the parameter MimeBodyType. It is sufficient to set the following (in the Options block of the external mail configuration file): MimeBodyType: none This enables MIME send mode without further effects. If you would choose something like: MimeBodyType: BINARY it would have the effect that attachments without format definition (i.e., no external identification in the LinkWorks dmformat table) would be treated as BINARY. When just "none" is specified, attachments without format definition will be refused (i.e., mail message will not be sent) and you need to define the proper format. Thereafter attachments of that type will be sent with proper information (and in a proper format) so that a recipient will be able to interpret what is contained in the received mail message. Regards, Berd Schimmel
2230.2	Seems not enought	ROM01::WIRELESS	`Tue May 13 1997 13:01`	7
	Hi, I tried using both "none" and "BINARY" (always restating the servers) but no way: the received msg looks the same. I guess that I should feedle with mimetags.txt file too ... let me know please, _Giuseppe
2230.3	Check configuration file	UTROP1::utoschimmel1.uto.dec.com::SCHIMMEL_B	`Wed May 14 1997 09:58`	12
	_Giuseppe, Check if the option is really set in the external mail configuration file. Execute "xminit -xcp". If everything is OK, it will show the configuration file. When there is a problem, it will tell you. Since you are saying in .-1 "the received msg looks the same", the MIME send option is not effective. When effective, the message really looks different from what you showed in .0. Berd
2230.4	This is my extmail.cfg	ROM01::WIRELESS	`Wed May 14 1997 13:34`	44
	Hi, I have this configuration file in /usr/op/cell/users/extmail.cfg The system has been rebooted and LNX restarted too. Let me know what can be wrong, ====================================================================== # # SCCSID "@(#)extmail.cfg 3.2 95/02/03 - EXTMAIL" # SCCSID "@(#)extmail.cfg 3.2 EXTMAIL" # # Configuration file for external mail # # ====================================================================== Version: 1.1 BEGIN Locations OutgoingMailDirectory: /usr/var/spool/mail/out IncomingMailDirectory: /usr/var/spool/mail/in MailUsers: /usr/op/cell/users/users MailImport: /usr/op/servers/pdmxmail.pid.all END BEGIN Options FaxFiles: Yes SendSubject: Yes UNIXstyle: Yes MimeBodyType: none END BEGIN Services E-Mail: mailx END BEGIN X400 # only default settings END Thanks, _Giuseppe
2230.5	Don't use "mailx" mode !!!	UTROP1::utoschimmel1.uto.dec.com::SCHIMMEL_B	`Wed May 14 1997 15:28`	13
	_Giuseppe, Why are you using "mailx" mode ? When you specify: BEGIN Services E-Mail: sendmail # instead of mailx END things will go much better (and faster). Berd S.
