CONFIGURING CC:MAIL OPTIONS
To configure the list of cc:Mail parameters as seen on your screen, do the following
procedure:
When encoding cc:Mail messages, CCOUT uses the MIME encoding information configured into Internet Exchange (see MIME table configurations for details). When a non-Macintosh file with an unknown or non-existent extension is encountered, it is encoded using the default binary encoding. You must choose the appropriate entry based upon the capabilities of those sites to which the gateway communicates most of the time. Base64 is preferable for communicating with MIME-capable sites. UUENCODE should be specified as the default encoding method if Internet Exchange will communicate with non-MIME compliant sites. However, since UENCODE/UUDECODE are not part of the MIME specification, their widespread use are being discouraged.
The allowed entries are the dot (.) and underscore (_). When constructing Internet addresses for cc:Mail users without an explicit entry in the Directory Server, all spaces are usually converted to underscores. Since some sites prefer to use dots instead of underscores, this option allows the administrator to choose between the two. Following are some examples of how an email address for someone named John Doe is registered in the Post Office:
NOTE: If an existing separator is found in the name to be translated, this will be doubled. For example, if the separato in use is the underscore:
NOTE: Spaces are not valid in Internet mail addresses.
Choosing a different value will not only solve this problem but, will also ensure that the return-receipt function is portable only between the Internet Exchange cc:Mail connector that used the same value. Specify your desired Uuencode tag. By default, Internet Exchange generates MIME uuencode messages with x-uue in the Content-transfer-encoding header. However, it is reported that some email agents require x-uuencode in their header instead. Use this entry to change the name of the uuencode reader.
The second format is much tidier. To ensure that replies to this message will be returned to the sender, there must be an entry in the gateway Post Office for the user. This is easily accomplished by using the Lotus ADE (Automatic Directory Exchange). If this is not the case, incoming messages to these addresses are bounced since cc:Mail has no way to route the messages internally to the correct recipient.
NOTE: You are not required to fill up all the text boxes but, parameters with default value must be configured.
