The trick is to create a local user _M2News (such user names must be 8-characters).
This local user _M2News, will be the synonym for the various addresses
known by the outside world:
-- mail2news@frogadmin.yi.org
-- mail2news_nospam@frogadmin.yi.org
-- mail2news@frogadmin.hn.org
-- mail2news_nospam@frogadmin.hn.org
-- .....
The mail bound to the M2News addresses will then land on disk in P:\Pmail\Mail\_M2News
From there, the incoming .cnm files will be the collected by the M2News
proggy (V0 or V1)
Create the Local User
Mercury|Configuration|ManageLocalUsers|Add
A folder is now created: P:\Pmail\Mail\_M2News, it contains just a PASSWD.PM
file.
While you are at it, create folder P:\Pmail\Mail\_M2News\Errors\
Creating the Synonym
You have to get the file P:\Mercury\synonym.src
You add the necessary entries, using Notepad or similar:
; ----------------------------------------------------
mail2news@frogadmin.yi.org == _M2News
mail2news@frogadmin.hn.org == _M2News
mail2news@frogadmin.no-ip.com == _M2News
; ------------------------
mail2news_nospam@frogadmin.yi.org == _M2News
mail2news_nospam@frogadmin.hn.org == _M2News
mail2news_nospam@frogadmin.no-ip.com == _M2News
; ------------------------
Now, you got to compile P:\Mercury\synonym.src into P:\Mercury\synonym.mer
:
Open a Dos window in P:\Mercury and
Fsynonym.exe synonym.src synonym.mer
To finish with,
..... cut-paste P:\Mercury\synonym.mer where it belongs,
..... probably P:\Mercury\Mercury\synonym.mer
Testing
Send yourself a couple of mails to mail2news@frogadmin.yi.org
... and see the .cnm files be created into P:\Pmail\Mail\_M2News\
