DESCRIPTION

       The Mail Configuration application, mailconfig, is used by the system administrator to set up the routing and delivery of mail for the sys-
       tem. The protocols that can be used are: DECnet, DECnet/OSI, MTS, UUCP, Internet, X.25, POP, and IMAP.  The configuration of POP  and  IMAP
       services under mailconfig is transparent to the system administrator.

       Dependencies:  Before using Mail Configuration, be sure to configure the system using the following applications, which you can access from
       the SysMan Configuration Checklist: Network Configuration BIND Configuration NFS Configuration UUCP or other network protocols that you use
       to send mail NTP NIS

       The mailconfig application can be invoked from:

       The CDE Application Manager Application Group: System_Admin Desktop_Apps Subgroup: Configuration Configuration Subgroup: Mail

       To start mailconfig from the command line, enter /usr/sbin/mailconfig.

       Online help is available for the mailconfig application.  To get help, click on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.

NOTES

       The  -focus option is not valid because mail is configured throughout a TruCluster Server cluster; hence, all nodes in the cluster have the
       same mail configuration.

       For a cluster to handle any mail protocol, other than the Internet protocol, all nodes must have that protocol installed,  configured,  and
       operating in the same fashion.

RESTRICTIONS

       You must have the appropriate privileges to use this application.
