| TEXT |
If the message should be sent immediately, MailMan schedules a [TASK], if one
isn't already scheduled, to send it and any other messages in the queue. If
the task encounters any problems with the transmission, MailMan sends a
[BULLETIN] to the Postmaster.
Other possibilities for transmission include [SCHEDULE]ing a task, [PLAY]ing
a script, [POLL]ing the site, dumping to [TAPE], or [INTER-UCI] transfer.
Certain fields in the [MAILMAN SITE PARAMETERS] file and all fields in the
[DOMAIN] file are relevant to network transmission.
When a user addresses a message to a remote site, MailMan checks the relevant
[ADDRESS]ing fields in the Domain file to see how it should be handled. When
the user hits 'transmit', the message is placed in a basket, or [QUEUE],
belonging to the Postmaster.
