Sorry,

but i think that is not what i need. Or i didn't understand DELIVER.

I want to know, how does it works that is comming up this message:

New mail on node ABC from XYZ::SYSTEM

There must be working a listener that is controlling if the are a new message. I need this to get an automatically asynchron trap for a user action.

Thank in advanced.

When a new email is comming in, normaly OpenVMS looks like this:

Now, i need this to use a user action. How can i solve this? Doese have anybody an idea? Perhaps with a snipple of code?
Check out DELIVER (available from:

http://vms.process.com/scripts/fileserv/fileserv.com?DELIVER



DELIVER is installed as an "foreign transport".
For the user that should have it's mails processed, you
do a "SET FORWARD DELIVER%user". So DELIVER is called by
VMS-mail as soon as a mail is received. In the MAIL.DELIVERY
file your can specify any command you'd like (usualy some
COM file that should be run to process the mail). When
DELIVER has finished processing the mail if can be delivered as
usual to the receivers MAIL.MAI, or deleted (if it's not needed
any more). It's up to you.

I've used DELIVER for aprox 10 years in an fully automated
server that processes 1000's of mails each day. Never had
a single problem (with DELIVER)...

Note !
This is *NOT* a polled solution. Nothing is run until
a mail arrives. No background processes, nothing.
All processing is triggered by the mail itself.
