SUMMARY
Although version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS is normally spawned from within the MHS Host, the gateway can be run from a command line as long as the parameters used are the same as those from MHS.

The MHS gateway has two active components:   Component     Description ---

INPOST.EXE   Gets messages from the Microsoft Mail database and puts them into MHS

OUTPOST.EXE  Gets messages from MHS and puts them into Microsoft Mail



MORE INFORMATION
When a gateway is defined in MHS, a subdirectory is created in the MHS\MAIL\GATES directory. This subdirectory has the same name as the gateway and contains the following five subdirectories:   Directory   Description ---

IN         Where INPOST.EXE places messages going from Microsoft Mail to MHS

IPARCEL    Where corresponding incoming attachments are placed

OUT        Where OUTPOST.EXE places messages going from MHS to               Microsoft Mail

OPARCEL    Where corresponding outgoing attachments are placed

PUBLIC     Where the INPOST.EXE and OUTPOST.EXE files are kept The directory structure looks like this:   MHS - MAIL - GATES - MSMAIL - IN

- IPARCEL - OUT - OPARCEL - PUBLIC - INPOST.EXE - OUTPOST.EXE Use the following command to run INPOST.EXE or OUTPOST.EXE from the directory F:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\MSMAIL\PUBLIC

INPOST -DM F:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\MSMAIL\ F:\MHS\SW\

OUTPOST -DM F:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\MSMAIL\ F:\MHS\SW\

where:

-DM is the command-line switch described on pages 19-21 in the "MHS Gateway Administrator's Guide" (pp. 19 - 21).

F:\MHS\MAIL\GATES\MSMAIL\ is a full path to the gateway directories.

F:\MHS\SW\ is a path to the MHS directory so INPOST or OUTPOST knows where to create its temporary files. This location is normally set with the MV variable.
