Warning
I don't use this myself since I am not bothered by the lack of speed when sending mail. I don't have to wait for it to send, I just go on and do something else (like format a floppy). However, m the lack of speed so I am providing the following solution offered by Marcel J.E. Mol.
Since I posted this here, I felt obliged to test it and I found one problem. The directories are hard coded into the sendmail.uml file. Unless your IAK is installed on E:\tcpip, look for the E:\ in three places in the file. Using the System Editor, change the three occurances of e:\ to the drive you are using.
From Marcel J.E. Mol
Sending small messages in Ultimail takes ages, and generates
a lot of traffic. A 100 byte message easily generates 30kB traffic.
Actually this is not a problem of ultimail, but of sendmail.
Sendmail tries to canonicalise every email address in
the message.
It uses DNS for that, resulting in excessive network calls...
The supplied sendmail.uml is the cause of this.
I created a very simple and small sendmail.uml file that directly
sends the message to the mail-gateway, without
trying to canonicalise
things. For this same 100
byte
message only around 3kB are send...
Use this at your own risk. This is not (yet) supported by IBM. I'm
using this for a couple of days now without any problem. The only
drawback is that
ocal mail also is delivered via the gateway and
not directly on your own machine. As I'm the only user on my system and
have little need to send messages to myself, I don't care...
To use this .uml file, copy it to /tcpip/etc/sendmail/uml
.
Make sure you make a backup of the current .uml file just in case...
