It #  can be omitted in many cases, since Mercury will prompt for the values #  set in the section if they are absent. # #  Under NetWare 4.x and later, Mercury has to login to Directory Services #  as a user object. The account Mercury uses must have sufficient privilege #  to perform the following tasks: # #     * Scan, Create, Read, Rename and Delete files in every #       user's new mailbox directory #     * Read the "home directory" attribute for every mail user #       to which it might be called upon to deliver mail #     * Search the NDS tree (i.e, have Browse and Read rights) in #       all contexts in which it might operate #     * Read all members of any group to which it may be called #       upon to deliver mail #     * If running in automaintenance mode, it must be able to add #       and delete NDS attributes for any user to which it may #       deliver mail, and create and delete ACLs on any mail user's #       "home directory" NDS attribute. # #  If you omit the "password" field, Mercury will prompt for it at #  startup time. # #  Note that you must enter the Mercury User ID as an NDS name expressed #  RELATIVE TO THE ROOT OF YOUR NDS TREE - there is no default context. # #  Two other options affecting NDS-mode operation are also available in #  other sections of MERCURY.INI: # #  In the [General] Section: #  "Mailbox_Mode", value 0 or 1, default 0. If 0, Mercury will use the #     new mailbox directory structure created by MAKEMBOX and PMUSER. If #     1, Mercury will assume that you have loaded the NetWare 4.1 MHS #     Services product and will deliver to the mailbox structure created #     by that system. NOTE: this does NOT mean that Mercury will act as #     an MHS<-->SMTP gateway - it will NOT. It simply controls where it #     will place incoming mail. # #  In the [Mercury] section: #  "Automaintenance", value 1 or 0: if non-zero, Mercury will automatically #     create new mail directories for users when it detects that they need #     them, using the same logic as the PMUSER NLM. If 0, sending mail to #     a user with no new mail directory currently created will result in #     an error.</o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=UK style="mso-ansi-language: UK"><o:p># [NDS] # UserID      :  Admin.pmail # Password : xxxx</o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=UK style="mso-ansi-language: UK"><o:p>[MercuryC] host:        10.95.1.10     # mail mail host which relays for us scratch:     MAILN/SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY   # Where we can write temp files poll:        30                   # Seconds between queue polling cycles switch:      2                    # number of ms to yield per op on heavy I/O returnlines: 15                   # How many lines of failed messages to return failfile:    MAILN/SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY/FAILURE.MER  # Delivery failure template max_retries: 72                   # Maximum number of delivery retry attempts esmtp:       1                    # Yes, we want to use ESMTP extensions # session_logging : SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY/LOG</o:p></SPAN></P><SPAN lang=UK style="mso-ansi-language: UK"><o:p> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> [MercuryS] switch:      2 debug:       1                    # Whether or not to show session progress relay:        0                   # We do not permit non-local mail relaying # strict_relay: 1                 # Turns on strict relaying controls # allow:       xxx.xxx.xxx.2        # A machine we WILL permit to connect # refuse:      xxx.xxx.xxx.0        # A group of machines we WON'T permit. # logfile:     MAILN/SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY/MERCURYS.LOG # size:        1500000            # Maximum message size to accept # session_logging : SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY/LOG # killfile:     SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY/MERCURYS.KFL  # Never accept mail from here # smtp_auth:    1                 # Turn on authenticated SMTP support # auth_file:    sys:system/mercury/auth.mer  # Username/Password file for AUTH</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> [MercuryP] scratch              :     MAILN/SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY switch               :     2 timeout              :     180 # logfile            :     MAILN/SYS:SYSTEM/MERCURY/MERCURYP.LOG # allow:       xxx.xxx.xxx.2        # A machine we WILL permit to connect # refuse:      xxx.xxx.xxx.0        # A group of machines we WON'T permit.</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> #  Using NetWare Groups: Mercury can deliver to NetWare Groups on your #  file server, but will only do so for groups that are defined in the #  "[Groups]" section.
