Yet another version of DELIVER. Details are in the last entry in this file. 09-Jun-1992 In addition, I found ANOTHER bug, apparently in MAIL itself that prevented DELIVER from being correctly invoked. Fixing this required changing the required privilege for delivering mail using the V and W actions from DETACH and SYSPRV to BYPASS (which makes more sense anyway). In addition, I made it possible to enable the debugging information within DELIVER dynamically. All of this is documented in DELIVER.RNO. 11-Jun-1992 The forwarding code wasn't all that healthy. It appended a "_" onto the forwarding string which caused things to blow up if a transport was used in a forwarding address. This and a few other bugs have been fixed at this point. there are now no know problems with DELIVER. 13-Jun-1992 To add insult to injury, one of the parties interested in DELIVER pointed out that not everybody has a Pascal compiler and could I include the objects in the distribution. I've done so. They are in the file DELIVER-OBJ-BCK.ENC and must be decoded using MFTU which comes with the DECUS UUCP distribution and can be gotten from most VMSNET archives: MFTU DECODE DELIVER-OBJ-BCK.ENC produces DELIVER-OBJ.BCK which is a backup save set containing the binaires which can be used to build DELIVER. I've also added the MMS file used to build DELIVER and the DELIVER kit for informational purposes. Sorry for the inconvenience. 15-Sep-92 The version of DELIVER that I found these bugs with was an old one. A newer version was available and since it ALSO had some of these bugs, I've integrated my changes into it and am releasing it once again. 16-Sep-92 And the news version had a "bug" in it in that the 'L' action would NOT keep the log file unless the 'K' action was ALSO set. This is no longer true. The 'L' option results in a log file being generated AND kept. If you run into any problems and/or have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me. 21-Nov-92 Two bugs have been reported and fixed. The first is that the latest version of DELIVER didn't correctly handle forwarding arguments of the form: FOO,BAR,BAZ this has been fixed. The other is that if your default file protections are such that SYSTEM doesn't get read/delete access to the file, DELIVER can't submit the batch job to actually deliver the mail. This has been fixed by giving the following protection to all files created by deliver: S:RWED,O:RWED,G:,W: Use it in good health.
