Automatic Email processing before delivering to user

[joukj]

Hi,

Up to know I used DELIVER (http://vms.process.com/scripts/fileserv ... om?DELIVER) to do some processing (i.e. a virus check) before delivering the Email to the user.
However recently I came along some servers who send RFC-headers with longer lines than 256 characters. IIt sems that DELIVER chokes on this. I tried to change the maximum line length on all the open-statements in the PASCAL code, but without success. No idea how to proceed from here.

When searching the web I came along this documentation:
https://vmssoftware.com/docs/VSI_TCPIP_ ... D_VOL1.PDF
In chapter 4.3.1 it gives some ways to deliver a mail to a DCL-procedure. That is exactly what I need. However this documention from 2020 is for VSI TCPIP 10.6. I cannot fond this feature in the manuals of VSI TCPIP 6.0. Is this feature gone? or is there some way around?

Regards
Jouk

Thanks, Arne. You nailed it. Both versions now run without errors here.

It seems to me the problem must be something in the FAB/RAB that MAIL supplies to the routine MAIL_OUT_FILE.

I got a version that works. I think one of my problems was that the mail-symbiont sometimes "remembers" the old version.
I will clean up a few things and than post the version I use now on my web site:

(you will know it is there when the date changed to september 2024)

Thanks for all the help.
