Questions:
I'm building a web server application that needs to have
read access to various VMS mail index files, including
those owned by users OTHER THAN the webserver account.
But I'm having difficulty gaining access to the mail
index file because both MAIL and the callable interface
seem to open the file read/write, generating an access
violation. This occurs even when the user has set all
*.mai files to be world-readable.
Is there any way (preferably via the callable mail
interface) to open mail.mai readonly?

|
Protection errors do not normally generate access violations.
There is no way to use the mail callable interface read-only.
(A number of apparantly read-only operations actually involve
some updates.)
I'd also recommend using identifiers and ACLs, rather than
opening up the mail for world access -- assign an identifier
to the e-mail web server, and use the identifier to access
the mail subdirectories.
