This program allows the user to see how many new mail messages are present in the newmail folder, and optionally the date / subject of each message. The program can be targetted against another user on the same VAX system and provide similar information. In this case the information returned is the newmail count, and the headers for those mail messages sent by the user to the targetted user. Finally, the program also allows for DECNET object access to a remote system which has the same program installed and defined in the DECNET objects. The same rules apply for the information displayed as that of a targetted user. In this case however 2 possible situations may result in the information not being displayed. a. If the user does not have proxy access to an account on the remote system, then probably only the newmail count will be returned. This is because on the remote system the program will assume the identity of DECNET rather than the actual username of the originating user. b. A recent enhancement of the program allows for the setup of a logical name list of trusted nodes which will allow for the originating users username to be used instead of DECNET. A CLD file is provided which should be installed into the DCLTABLES.EXE if the program is going to used by all users, or accross the network. ==================================================================== Logical Definitions: Must be defined if node-node task is defined. $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC SAFE_NODE_LIST - "PLATO::,MEDICS::,LIFE::,EPLAB::,MEDOPS::" Must always be definied. $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC NEWMAIL SYS$SYSTEM:VMSMAIL_PROFILE.DATA $! ================================================ NCP Object Definition for NEWMAIL Program.
