FAQ, by Marc SCHAEFER,
Normal mail pieces ready for sending via UUCP are stored each in 3 files. One local control file, and two data files (mail is not batched) Moreover, mail is not compressed. If you send a lot of mail, the overhead and the fact mail is not compressed may slow down your connection. You may then choose to go for BSMTP. BSMTP is an additionnal layer on the UUCP system. You continue writing independant files in the UUSPOOL: directory. At a specified (DCRON) time, you run the BSMTP batcher for a specified site, and this will create one batched and compressed file to send to the specified site. Batched means that data all is in one single file. NOTE: The other site MUST have set up his BSMTP system correctly. Ask also for the type of compression (compress-14, compress-16, freeze, none). Best is freeze.
To my knowledge there are two packages available (litamiga or Aminet):
- A set of ARexx script + modified UUXQT
- C executables.
- SmailAmiga
