[Dxspider-support] set/email

[gu6efb]

Hi Mark

 

This information is in the changes file hope this helps

 

 

3. Altered the mechanism of the personal emailing so that it uses lower
level

components and should be therefore available on M$ platforms. You will need

to install a version of libnet (perl -MCPAN -eshell, then install
Net::SMTP).

I believe all 5.6.x perls have this built in (ie M$ should have this). If
you

are on M$ or you want to use an MTA via SMTP in linux then you need to
declare

the dns name of the MTA by: set/var $DXMsg::email_server = 'post.fred.net' 

(or whatever the MTA is called). You can also use local programs other than

sendmail by: set/var $DXMsg::email_prog = '/usr/bin/postfix ..' or whatever.

Finally you can alter the 'from' address using: set/var $DXMsg::email_from

= 'FBloggs at msn.com' (\@ if you use " and ") - bewarned that you may be 

prevented from using just any old address. You can place these commands in

/spider/scripts/startup for permanent use.

 

 

For windows just declare the SMPT server 

 

Sample startup script

 

#

# startup script example

#

# set maximum no of spots allowed to 100

set/var $Spot::maxspots = 25

#

# Set registration on

set/var $main::reqreg = 0

#

# Set passwords on

# set/var $main::passwdreq = 0

#

#Set My E-mail smtp host for outgoing cluster e-mail

set/var $DXMsg::email_server = 'smtp.myisp.com

I guess I don't understand all that needs to be set here.

 

I am running the latest version of cluster on a windoze 2000 server os.

 

I issue the command set/email tharp_m at televar.com

 

What do I need to do to the cluster to get it to work, or is this a linex
only feature?

 

I should need to set up how the cluster sends the mail don't I??

 

thanks for the help..

 

Mark
