The following changes have been implemented in LISTSEND: * There are two new options, DIST1 and DIST2, to choose the DISTRIBUTE protocol. They can be set as default options. * If the filetype is MAIL, the MAIL option is forced. * The whole logic for sending mail has been changed (thanks to a modified sample exec sent to me by Olivier Martin). LSV822IN EXEC (and if possible also LSV822TO EXEC) from TOOLS FILELIST at any LISTSERV are STRONGLY recommended if you intend to use the MAIL option. Mail is now processed as follows: - If LSV822IN EXEC is not found, RFC822 headers are generated and your file is put inside. Please note that the new version behaves differently than the previous one in this point. - If LSV822IN is found, a check is made to see whether your mailfile contains RFC822 headers or not. If not, headers are generated and your mail is sent to LISTSERV; if headers are present, they are validated by LSV822IN and some additional tests are made. Sending is aborted unless the mailfile seems correct (but there are new options to bypass checking and to add new headers unconditionally). If you get the new new version you'll find more detailed explanations in the program header, especially in the 'How to send mail' section. ----> IMPORTANT: I would like to urge everyone that is interested in this program to get a password from LISTSERV AT DEARN TELL LISTSERV AT DEARN PW ADD password and AFD to the file TELL LISTSERV AT DEARN AFD ADD LISTSEND EXEC PW= password. The file is about 1000 records (500+ in NETDATA format) and AFD uses DISTRIBUTE, so you will be helping network traffic. I will NOT send bug fixes announcements to this list. People who are AFDed to the file will get a new copy and can look at the change history at the end of the header. Other people run LISTSEND at their own risk :-) Jose Maria
