    Re: How to use the PMGATE.SYS file

    OK, I'll admit I'm a dummy.

    I don't see how this will place the internet address as the reply to for internet addressed messages, and teh local mail address for local addressed messages. My users don't use multiple identities (Most of them can barely type!). I would never get them to switch identities depending on whether they were replying to an internet email of an internal one. Is there a way to tell pegasus to automatically use one identity for local mail and another for internet mail?

    >What I do is set the *Reply address format : to use the Reply To: address with the ~r.  Each user must have a Reply To: for each identity set for this to work but the best thing is the user >can send as any of their addresses without problems.

     I assume ~r is the Default "reply to" address" that appears under tools>outgoing mail>sending mail. Again, won't this simply place what erver I place in this field as the reply to regardless of the message final destination (ie, local of internet)?

    >Format Pegasus Mail should use to compose the 'From' field for the message. ~8 or ~n indicate where the name should be placed.

    I'm afraid I don't follow. What does this comment relate to?

    Is there a way to make the gateway process any address but an internet address, and let the SMTP function process any internet destined email?

    Also, is there a resource that defined all of the command substitution codes? I've seen bits and pieces of it here and there, but no comprehensive listing.

    I'm so sorry to be so thick headed, but this is reeally getting serious to me.

    Ed
