SUMMARY
You can specify how the Mail Gateway to MHS will function by using the command-line options available with the gateway. These options are used in the COMMAND option of the gateway definition on the MHS system.

You can find information on adding gateway definitions to the MHS system in the Novell's MHS "Administrator's Guide."



MORE INFORMATION
The available MHS Gateway commands are as follows:  The available MHS Gateway commands are as follows:

Option        Definition --

-Dm           Drive option specifies the driver letter containing the Microsoft Mail data files. Drive letter M is the default drive, but in a case that Maildata is mapped to a different drive letter, that letter would need to be specified. For example, if Maildata was mapped to drive P, use -Dp.

-F            Dashed Address Format option is used with an MHS 1.11 host only. When this option is used, the MSMAIL address in the FROM field of an outgoing message is converted to the dashed address format. This is ignored if the gateway is on an MHS host 1.21 or later. Also when you use this option all components of the 10/10/10 address must be Name-8 strings. If not, the gateway will use full extended addressing.

-FS           Simple Address Format option specifies that the gateway should use the simple address format MAILBOX@GATEWAY when converting MSMAIL addresses to the MHS addresses. To use this option, the MAILBOX portion of the MSMAIL address must be in Name-8 string; otherwise the extended address format is used. Also the simple address format is only supported for users on a gateway postoffice. This option is ignore if              the sender is on a downstream postoffice and the uses the default extended address format.

-H            Show All Headers option is used to force the display of all MHS headers in incoming mail. This option is normally only used in testing the gateway operation.

-HA           Expose Hidden Attachments option is used to expose the hidden attachments generated the MSMAIL system. These attachments contain information about OLE objects.

-In           Items option specifies the maximum number of mail messages to process each time the program is invoked by the MHS system. The default is I5 (5 messages). The maximum allowable setting is I50 (50 messages); anything greater is ignored.

-L[filename]  Log Error Messages option specifies the name of the file to               which error messages will be logged. Type the full path, including the driver, directory, filename, and extension. If              you do not specify a parameter or if you enter only -L, error messages are logged to the M:\LOG\MHSGATE.LOG (unless              you specify another driver the -D option)

-Mn           Maximum Text Size option sets the maximum size of the messages text allowed by the gateway, where n is the maximum size in kilobytes. When a messages exceeds this size, the gateway converts the message text to an attachments. If you are using message encapsulation to send backboned mail (the              default) and the message text exceeds the limit, the messages is not encapsulated.

-RE           Remove Encapsulation option is used to disable message encapsulation for outgoing mail. By default, all backboned mail (mail destined for postoffices defined as indirect via              MHS and for which address mapping has been defined) is sent in encapsulated form to preserve all attributes of the MSMAIL message sent via MHS.

-Sn           Split Lines option allows you to specify where to split long message lines by entering the number of characters per line. MSMAIL can generate messages with lines up to 78 characters. Some MHS user agents can handle lines up to 74 characters. For outgoing mail (INPOST program), the default is to not split lines at all. For incoming mail (OUTPOST              program), the default is to split lines at 78 characters.

-T            Use Mail Item Time option is recognized only by the OUTPOST program. For mail sent to MSMAIL from MHS, you can specify that you want to use the date, and time of the mail item getting received by the MSMAIL instead of the system date and time.

-V20          Backwards Compatibility option must be used if the Gateway to MHS is installed on a postoffice that uses version 2.1 or              later of the External Mail program, but is also accessed by               a version 2.0 External program or by any version 2.;0 MSMAIL gateway program. If you do not require compatibility with version 2.0 programs, do not use this option.
