Hello Andrew,
You need to set up another user.
Anything that comes to <anyone>@coprolite.prestel.co.uk is downloaded.
Everything goes into the default INBOX except mail to a specific
username is filtered into the other user INBOX.
I do not publish this user name in newgroups etc in order to avoid
spam, so let's pretend it is alan@coprolite.prestel.co.uk
Most messages are put in c:\internet\default\mail\INBOX but messages
to alan@coprolite.... are filtered into c:\internet\alan\mail\INBOX.
This is set up as a completely separate user with its own Yarn
configuration file.
I have a couple of icons on my desk top which run cmd files. These are
very simple:
mode co80,50
c:
cd \internet
set LOGDIR=c:\internet\default
yarn
set LOGDIR=
and
mode co80,50
c:
cd \internet
set LOGDIR=c:\internet\alan
yarn -f
set LOGDIR=
When replying as the user "alan", because it uses a different Yarn
configuration file, it uses a different user name.
Each user has its own out directory, for example,
# SOUP reply packet containing outgoing messages
reply-packet=c:\internet\alan\out\out.zip
and I use Vsoup in each directory to send the mail.
Oh yes, a note on the filter. This needs a relative path. My incoming
filter file has:
200 alanenvelope
envelope-to: alan@
..\..\alan\mail\inbox
0 3 0
