cumail(1)                           CLIX                           cumail(1)



  NAME

    cumail - Runs the DNP electronic mail facility

  SYNOPSIS

    cumail mail-path

    cumail -f mail-path

  DESCRIPTION

    The cumail program is the Digital Network Protocol (DNP) electronic mail
    facility that allows mail to be exchanged among users on any host that
    supports the VAX/VMS mail protocol.

    The following shows the format of mail-path for sending mail from cumail
    to DECnet node recipients.  Note that the last two address forms are valid
    only when used with sendmail(1).

    node_name::mail-address
    node_number::mail-address
    area_number.node_number::mail-address
    mail-address@node_name.CommUnity
    mail-address@node_name.DNP

    The mail-address is a string handled by the remote node to determine the
    recipient.  This address is passed to the remote node as a string and can
    cause further routing by the remote node if supported on that node.

    The cumail program receives the body of incoming messages in either
    VAX/VMS variable record file format or Ultrix stream format and sends all
    out going mail in variable record format.  The cumaild(1M) server receives
    requests from a cumail client.

    The cumail program processes mail requests that contain DECnet-style
    addressing as part of a recipient address.  The cumail program depends on
    sendmail(1) to route local mail or send requests to a remote recipient
    that does not have a DECnet address.

  EXAMPLES

    The following illustrates using cumail as a standalone utility:

    cumail -f joe vax::sally
    <Enter text of message>
    <Press <Ctrl-D> to exit>

    The following is an example of using mail(1), with sendmail(1), which
    automatically inserts the sender of the message:




  2/94 - Intergraph Corporation                                              1

  cumail(1)                           CLIX                           cumail(1)



    mail mary vax::sally mike@node.uucp brian@vax.CommUnity

    This command line uses other mailers for ``mary'' and ``mike''.  It also
    calls cumail with the following command to send mail to ``sally''
    and``brian'':

    cumail vax::sally vax::brian
