[7] Sending and receiving Mail and Usenet News with your Macintosh
==================================================================

[7.1] How can I send/receive Internet mail with my Macintosh?
-------------------------------------------------------------

        There are a variety of ways to do this depending primarily
        on how you connect your Macintosh to the rest of the world.
        The most popular and practical methods are summarized below:

        Note: Methods of sending and receiving e-mail that are specific
              to A/UX are not discussed; see the FAQ for comp.unix.aux.
        
        * UUCP
        
        Perhaps the most practical way to interact with Usenet for most
        is to use UUCP (Unix-to-Unix-Copy). UUCP is a protocol originally 
        intended to be used to transfer files between Unix machines over
        telephone lines. Various UUCP programs exist for the Macintosh,
        from freeware to shareware to payware. In addition to the UUCP
        software, you must find a host machine connected to the Internet
        (or equivalent) that is willing to send and receive your e-mail
        (and news, if you wish [see 7.2]). There are commercial
        services that provide this capability in various regions of
        the country; check the newsgroup alt.bbs.internet for more
        information. Once you have identified and arranged to receive
        and send e-mail from such a service, you need to register your 
        site with a unique name in the UUCP maps.
        
        -> Mac/gnuucp is a port of the GNU UUCP sources to the Macintosh.
        Sources are included. The interface uses the standard Think C
        command-line substitute. A Hypercard mail reader is provided.
        Usable, but not recommended if you intend on transfering a lot
        of files.

        -> UUPC 3.0 is a substantially better freeware implementation of
        the UUCP protocol for the Macintosh. UUPC 3.0 includes support
        for various flavors of UUCP that provide better performance
        with high-speed error-correcting modems. Full source code
        is provided. UUPC 3.0 was implemented by a coalition of
        programmers led by Dave Platt. Thanks!

        -> uAccess, a payware product (about $300) from Ice
        Engineering supports the CTB and can be used to send and
        receive both e-mail and news postings via a UUCP link.
        See [7.2] for more information.


        * MacTCP: SMTP, POP
        
        SMTP (Simple-Mail-Transfer-Protocol) and POP (Post-Office-
        Protocol) are two protocols for transfering electronic mail
        between machines that have a TCP/IP interface or equivalent.
        Usually, on the Macintosh, such an interface is provided via
        MacTCP and/or the Communications Toolbox.
        
        -> Eudora is perhaps the best written and most popular e-mail
        program available for the Macintosh. Eudora is a complete and
        versatile e-mail package which can send e-mail via SMTP (either
        through the CTB or a serial connection) and receive e-mail via
        a POP server. It can even be used with UUPC 3.0 (as a mail
        reader and message generator, not a transport agent). Eudora
        can also be used to transfer arbitrary Macintosh files between
        computers through its BinHex 4.0 attachment features. Many
        accolades go to the author, Steve Dorner. Free and commercial 
        versions of Eudora exist: (1/94)

        Eudora 1.3.1 (free) -- last version to work under System 6 & 7
        Eudora 1.51 (free) -- System 7 only; expanded feature set 
        Eudora 2.1 (pay) --- commercial version; even more features

        You can FTP the free versions of Eudora from ftp.qualcomm.com 
        in mac/eudora. Please send all e-mail inquiries about Eudora
        to eudora-info@qualcomm.com . Qualcomm has said it will continue
        to release new versions.

.-> MailShare is a Macintosh-based SMTP and POP server. MailShare also
.supports a Password server, and includes NotifyMail support, both of
.which can be taken advantage of by Eudora, a Macintosh and Windows mail
.client. 

.The most current version of MailShare is 1.0fc5. It is available at
.ftp://ftp.winternet.com/users/carl/MailShare-10fc5.hqx. You can find the
.MailShare home page at http://www.winternet.com/~carl/mailshare/mailshare.html

.-> AutoShare 1.0, an auto-responder and a listserver for the
.Macintosh, is a freeware utility that turns your MailShare environment
.into a complete auto-response and listserver system, including HTML
.archives. AutoShare offers vacation notices as well. Binhex enclosures
.accompanying automated responses are optional. Furthermore, an
.(outgoing)UUCP-MailShare gateway is available.

.The home Web site of AutoShare is
.http://www2.kb.bib.dk/Staff/meh/AutoShare/AutoShare.html
.and a US mirror is available at
.http://www.freedonia.com/ism/list/autoshare/autoshare-documentation.html
.http://www.freedonia.com/ism/list/autoshare/autoshare-quickstart.html


        -> LeeMail is a shareware ($25) MacTCP-based SMTP and POP3 mailer for
        the Macintosh. LeeMail allows you to send and receive Internet
        mail directly from your Macintosh --- if you have a fixed IP
        address (manual addressing). Otherwise, if your Macintosh uses
        dynamic addressing to determine its IP address, you can use
        LeeMail to send mail from your Macintosh but should use a
        different Reply-To address. LeeMail supports various enclosures.
        Author: Lee Fyock <laf@chs.cusd.claremont.edu>

        -> TCP/Connect II, from Intercon Systems, includes support for
        both SMTP and POP based e-mail.


        * Other:

        -> Fernmail, a shareware program ($20), can be used as a stand-
        alone mailer program to read and compose e-mail messages. It can
        also be used to send e-mail between different users of the same
        Macintosh but has no built-in facility to transfer messages
        between machines. It is most useful as a front-end for UUCP
        mailers that lack a sophisticated mail management program.
        Author: Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us>
        
        
[7.2] How can I read/post Usenet news with my Macintosh?
--------------------------------------------------------

        Again, the various options depend primarily on how your
        Macintosh is connected to Usenet. The various ways to
        connect your Macintosh to outside networks are summarized
        elsewhere in this FAQ. What follows is a brief description of
        the more popular software packages, according to connection
        method.

        Note: Methods of sending and receiving news that are specific
              to A/UX are not discussed; see comp.unix.aux instead.

        * UUCP

        -> uAccess, a commercial product (about $300) from Ice
        Engineering (and the product from which uATerm and Termy were
        derived) is a well-designed product that works well enough to
        allow you to use your Macintosh as a Usenet node (if you have
        enough disk space). uAccess supports the CTB and comes with a
        terminal emulator. It was reviewed in the July, 1992 issue of
        _UnixWorld_.

        -> rnMac, a shareware program ($25) written by Roy Wood
        <rrwood@canrem.com>, is a reasonably spiffy offline newsreader.
        The original intention was for rnMac to work in conjunction with
        UUPC and ToadNews (by John Mah <jpmah@descartes.uwaterloo.ca>)
        to allow you to set up a uucp-based Usenet newsfeed on a Mac.
        rnMac is quite stable and full-featured, and even does a passable
        job as a mailer (no match for Eudora, FernMail, etc.).  rnMac,
        ToadNews, UUPC are each available from archive sites such
        as sumex and umich.

        -> TheNews is a shareware ($25) MacTCP-based NNTP news reader.
        This program also supports UUCP transfer of news, and allows
.responding to articles via a local SMTP server as well.
        Author: Bill Cramer <70322.3412@compuserve.com>

        * MacTCP - NNTP
        
        Most (if not all) MacTCP-based newsreaders for the Macintosh
        will require access to a NNTP news server. NNTP (Net News
        Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer articles
        between a central news server and many client machines over
        TCP/IP or a serial link.
        
        -> NewsWatcher is a free MacTCP-based NNTP news client. It
        supports a graphical "point and click" interface for browsing
        and reading news. The program was featured in Apple's technical
        "d e v e l o p" magazine (#6) with source; you can also FTP the
        source from ftp.support.apple.com. The application itself is 
.available at other archives.
        
        Development versions of NewsWatcher are generally made available 
        for anonymous FTP from
.ftp://ftp.acns.nwu.edu/pub/newswatcher.

.Contact: send e-mail to <newswatcher@phil.ruu.nl> or
.<j-norstad@nwu.edu>

.-> Value-Added NewsWatcher by David Brewster <brewster@bis.trw.com>
.and Bob Boonstra <boonstra@ultranet.com> is an NNTP news reader
.based on NewsWatcher. It includes binary posting, article
.filtering (kill files), and article sorting. Available from
.ftp://grocne.enc.org/pub/V.A.NewsWatcher/
.ftp://ftp.ultranet.com/pub/boonstra/V.A.NewsWatcher/
.in source and executable form.

.-> Yet Another NewsWatcher by Brian Clark <baclark@wwa.com>
.is an NNTP news reader based on NewsWatcher and Value-Added
.NewsWatcher. It includes binary and anonymous remailer posting,
.article filtering (kill files), and article sorting.

.-> Nuntius is a thread-based, MacTCP-based NNTP news reader with
        a graphical Finder-like user interface. It is actively supported
        by its author. One nice feature of Nuntius is its ability to
        automatically extract binaries from selected threads. Nuntius
        is designed to be used with Eudora as its editor and mailer.
        Author: Peter Speck
.More information: there is a mailing list supporting the the Nuntius
..program. Send e-mail to <nuntius-l@cornell.edu> to distribute
..a message to the list.

        -> InterNews is described as "a Macintosh interface to the world
        of Usenet news". It is a MacTCP-based 
        NNTP client for the Macintosh. Subscriptions, newsgroups, and articles
        are organized and selectable via resizable and configurable panes.
        InterNews is free to users of educational and non-profit organizations;
        it is available for anonymous FTP at ftp.dartmouth.edu:/pub/mac.
        Commercial and government users are asked to purchase a license.

        -> TheNews is a shareware ($25) MacTCP-based NNTP news reader.
        This program also supports UUCP transfer of news, and allows
.responding to articles via a local SMTP server as well.
        Author: Bill Cramer <70322.3412@compuserve.com>

        -> TCP/Connect II, from Intercon Systems, includes an NNTP based
        news reader, as well as e-mail (and other) facilities.

        -> VersaTerm-Link includes a NNTP based news reader, as well as 
        e-mail facilities.
        
        * Serial - NNTP
                
        --> NetFeed is a NNTP newsreader designed to communicate with
        a NNTP server via modem. It includes an article reader and
        a simple scripting language to facilitate dialing the modem.
        NetFeed is shareware, but the authors seem to only ask for a
        postcard if you use their software.

[8] Miscellaneous
=================

[8.1] I don't have FTP --- How can I access the Macintosh FTP archives
----------------------------------------------------------------------
        through e-mail?

        First, look in the Appendix of this FAQ. Descriptions on how
        to access mailservers that mirror the InfoMac archives are
        provided there. Also, the University of Michigan maintains
        an e-mail server for its Macintosh archive; send a message
        to mac@mac.archive.umich.edu with the command "help" in
        the message body for details.

        If you have Gopher access, note that the InfoMac archives at
        sumex-aim.stanford.edu are accessible via Gopher. If your
        Macintosh is connected to the Internet via MacTCP, for example,
        you can use one of the many Macintosh Gopher clients to
        access InfoMac.

        If you have AFS (Andrew File System) access, you can access
        the Macintosh archive at the University of Michigan via your
        UNIX file system: cd /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/mac .
        You may have to ask your AFS/system adminisrator to add 
        umich.edu to the list of mounted AFS sites, however.

.If you have WWW access, you can point your WWW browser to
.gopher://gopher.lcs.mit.edu/h0/HyperActive
        
        For more general help on accessing FTP sites through e-mail,
        send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu and include a line
        containing "send usenet/news.answers/finding-sources" in the
        message body. You will be e-mailed instructions on how to use
        FTP sites via e-mail.

[8.2] What aids are available for programmers wishing to write TCP/IP
.      applications for the Macintosh?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

.* PathWay API Developer's Tool Kit Macintosh from The Wollongong
.  Group provides:
..* BSD 4.3 Sockets library
..* Stream (TCP) and datagram (UDP) socket types
..* Blocking and nonblocking socket modes
..* Include files and sample programs for Apple MPW 3.2
..* PathWay API Programming Guide
..* Works on System 6.0.x, 7.0, and 7.1

[8.3] I have a FAX machine and a FAX modem. How can I use these devices
.      together to emulate a scanner and a printer?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

.It is often possible to simply connect your FAX modem to your
.FAX machine using a regular telephone cable. You can then print
.to your FAX machine by sending a document to your FAX modem (then
.through the cable to your FAX machine, to be printed). Analogously,
.you can "send" a FAX from your FAX machine to your computer's FAX 
.modem and thus emulate a scanner (the FAX image will be read into 
.your computer by your FAX modem software).

.This phone cable connection does not always work, however. For 
.these cases, P.E.P. Products, Inc., offers faxScan/faxPrinter,
.a Macintosh and Windows-compatible product which allows you
.to connect your FAX modem to your FAX machine and thus gain the
.ability to print from your computer to the FAX machine and
.scan into your computer from the FAX machine, as described
.above. This device is pocket-sized, 1.05 ounces, and powered
.by a 9 volt battery. According to the company's sales information,
."The faxScan/faxPrinter device stabilizes line voltages 
.on both sides, allowing any combination of FAX modem and FAX machine 
.to work together.  This product is useful if you travel and want to 
.print or scan using any fax machine."

[B] List of Macintosh archive sites available through the Internet
------------------------------------------------------------------

All shareware or freeware programs described in this FAQ are available
from one of the many archives that mirror the InfoMac archives at sumex
and at other Macintosh FTP sites described below.

Of course, since almost all files are distributed in BinHex format,
the first program you need to get hold of is "BinHex 4.0" or better --
one of the programs described in [2.3] that has the capability to
decode BinHex files. If you have FTP access, try to FTP the file
info-mac/util/binhex4.bin from sumex-aim.stanford.edu with 'binary'
mode set (issue the command 'binary' to the FTP server). This file
is a MacBinary version of BinHex 4.0. If you don't have a binary-
capable FTP, or if you forget to use binary, you will get a corrupted
file when you transfer the file to your Mac. Alternatively, you can
FTP a MacBinary version of StuffitExpander from wuarchive.wustl.edu
in /systems/mac/info-mac/util as the binary file stuffit-expander-303.bin.

If you don't have FTP access or binary FTP doesn't seem to work for you,
try to friend who has BinHex 4.0 (or equivalent) on a disk that you can
copy. Or, if you have a Pascal compiler handy, you can download the
Pascal source from sumex and compile it. But your best bet is to ask
around.

Unless otherwise indicated, the following FTP sites are all anonymous
FTP sites available through the Internet. Logon as "anonymous" or "ftp" 
and give your e-mail address as the password. Remember that the use of 
anonymous FTP at these sites is a privelege, not a right, so please act
accordingly. Type 'ls' to get a directory listing. Use the command 'cd'
followed by a directory name to move to a specific directory. USe the
command 'cd ..' to move back "up" to the previous directory. 
Issue the command 'binary' to change to FTP BINARY mode. Give the command
'get' followed by a filename to retrieve a specific file.

Sites are grouped by geographical location. North American users are
strongly encouraged to use the North American sites. Practically
everything found on other continents can also be found somewhere in
North America. Similarly, non-North American users are advised to check
out their local sites first. ftp.support.apple.com is the notable exception.

If you know one info-mac archive site, you can retrieve a list of all
the info-mac archive mirrors by accessing URL
ftp://<any_info-mac_site>/info-mac/help/mirror-list.txt>


NORTH AMERICA:

** ftp.support.apple.com **
This FTP site is maintained by Apple. You can FTP System 7, TuneUp,
various Developer Technical Support items (including all the Tech
Notes), QuickTime, and much more. You will need the Apple DiskCopy
program (available online) to make floppy-disk versions of the disk
images.

** mac.archive.umich.edu ** (141.211.32.2)
University of Michigan's Macintosh Public Domain and Shareware Archive.
All files are in the mac directory (mac.bin is a directory useful only
to local University of Michigan users). Has lots of Macintosh files that
don't seem to be available anywhere else (including many that are not
at sumex-aim.stanford.edu). Announcements of recent additions to the 
archives are routinely seen in comp.sys.mac.digest. Read the file 
'/mac/00help/submissions.txt' for details on submitting. The archive
is accessible via AFS (the Andrew File System) which is by far the
best way to access it; see [8.1]. 

** microlib.cc.utexas.edu **
The University of Texas Computation Center maintains a large and useful
Macintosh archive in microlib/mac (Archives for other personal computers
are also available here). Submissions can be e-mailed (in BinHex form)
to macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu (which are then rebroadcasted
elsewhere; this is the easiest way to distribute public-domain or
shareware stuff throughout the Internet).

** sumex-aim.stanford.edu ** (36.44.0.6)
Official home of the Info-Mac archives. This site is heavily used and has 
anonymous FTP connections limited during local working hours, so you are 
STRONGLY encouraged to use one of the many sites which mirror the sumex 
archives (such as mac.archive.umich.edu or wuarchive.wustl.edu).  All 
Macintosh files are stored in the directory info-mac in a tree
structure by generic file type. Announcements of recent additions are
posted (daily) to comp.sys.mac.digest. You should read the file in the
help subdirectory called 'posting-guidelines.txt' for details on
submitting files to the archive. This site is also accesible via Gopher.

** wuarchive.wustl.edu ** (128.252.135.4)
Washington University maintains a mirror archive of sumex-aim and also
mac.archive.umich.edu (among others). Look in mirrors/info-mac and
mirrors/archive.umich.edu respectively. This site is also useful for
other reasons and can be mounted via NFS (see the README files in the
top level).


If you don't have FTP access, you can access the sumex-aim InfoMac
archives by using the LISTSERVer at Rice University in Houston, TX.
For example, to retrieve the file util/cpt-expand-10.hqx, send a message
containing the line "$macarch get UTIL/CPT-EXPAND-10.HQX" to
listserv@ricevm1.rice.edu. UNIX users may also find the following script
useful:

#!/bin/csh -f
# macarch.get
if test $# -ne 1
then
        echo Usage: $0 archive-name-of-file-to-retrieve
        exit 1
fi
echo \$macarch GET   $1 | mail LISTSERV@ricevm1.rice.edu

The files HELP/ALL-FILES.TXT, HELP/ACCESSING-FILES.TXT, and other
files in the HELP hierarchy are useful files to try retrieving
initially.


EUROPE:

** ftp.funet.fi ** (128.214.6.100)
The Finnish University and Research network (FUNET) archive site.
Macintosh files are in pub/mac. Read the README file in the top level,
especially if you are FTP-ing "long distance".

** nic.switch.ch ** (130.59.1.40)
The Swiss Academic and Research Network (SWITCH) maintains an info-mac
mirror on nic.switch.ch. Files are in the directory /mirror/info-mac 
and are updated daily.

** src.doc.ic.ac.uk ** (146.169.2.1)
Archive site maintained by UKUUG Software Distribution Service,
Department of Computing, Imperial College, London, UK. Macintosh
files are in directory packages/mac. Mirrors of sumex-aim.stanford.edu
and mac.archive.umich.edu are in mac/sumex and mac/umich respectively.
Some files are compressed using Unix compress (.Z); see the README
file.

** irisa.irisa.fr ** (131.254.254.3)
Archive site maintained by Institut de Recherche en Informatique et
Systemes Aleatoires in Rennes, Brittany, France. This site maintains an
archive of various comp.binaries.* group, including comp.binaries.mac.
Files are in News/comp.binaries.mac. Warning: Files in this directory
are numbered and numerous so avoid asking for a directory listing;
that is, don't type 'ls' or 'dir'. Rather, change to this directory
and download the file 'index' which maps the "Subject:" line to
a number which you can then 'get'. 


If you don't have FTP access, you can access the InfoMac archives
by sending e-mail to the mirror archive kept on fileserv@irlearn.ucd.ie.
Files must be requested by their (14 digit) number, so first send 
a message containing only the line "get macfile listing" for a full 
index, or ask for the most recent additions by sending "index newmac".


AUSTRALIA:

** archie.au ** (139.130.4.6)
AARNet Archive Server, Melbourne, Australia. Macintosh files are
in micros/mac. This site also mirrors sumex-aim.stanford.edu (look in
micros/mac/infomac) and mac.archive.umich.edu (look in micros/mac/umich).


JAPAN:

** utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp ** (133.11.11.11)
University of Tokyo archive site. Macintosh files are in pub/Mac.
This site also mirrors info-mac at sumex-aim.stanford.edu; check
the pub/Mac/info-mac directory.
