MailMan patch XM*7.1*36 contains the following enhancements and bug fixes:
NOIS: NOL-0896-70074 Routine: ^XMAD1A
If successful, X will have the value of the mail group internal entry number.
If unsuccessful, X will be zero.
Where:
A =Mail group name (if new group)
Mail group internal entry number (if existing group)
B =Mail group type flag (0=public; 1=private)
C =DUZ of organizer (.5=Postmaster assumed, if 0 passed)
D =Self enrollment allowed flag (0=no; 1=yes)
Ensures that recipient multiple records start from 1.
.E=Array of members to be enrolled.
Members must be local users.
Array must consist of DUZ's only; not names.
E(n)="", where n is the member's DUZ.
.F=Mail group description array.
F(1)="first line"
F(2)="second line"
etc.
G =Silent flag (0=interactive; 1=silent)

MailMan, with this patch, is now able to fax messages. Currently, only FORUM
Users holding new security key "XM GROUP PRIORITY" may forward priority
(to my knowledge) is able to take advantage of this new capability, which
requires the presence of the AKF* suite of fax software and files and fax
capability. The site manager should indicate whether or not the site is
fax-enabled by setting the new field #143 in file 4.3 (default is "no").
Two new mail group multiples have been added to the Mail Group file: Fax
Recipient, and Fax Group. These multiples point to associated files in the fax
(AKF*) suite. These files (^AKF("FAXR", Fax Rolodex, and ^AKF("FAXG", Fax
Group) must be populated through the fax suite. LAYGO through MailMan is not
permitted.
mail to groups.
When a mail message is sent (or forwarded) to a mail group with these fax
multiples populated, the message is also transferred to the fax suite, and a
task is queued to fax the message to those recipients pointed to by the group.
Fax recipients are faxed only the original message. Replies to mail messages
are not faxed. Replies are not delivered as e-mail to fax recipients, unless
they are also on the message as "normal" recipients.
MailMan faxes do not have a cover page. They print in much the same way as a
message is printed on a printer.
Individual fax recipients are stored in the recipient multiple of the message
(identified as F.<fax recipient>). A "Query" of the message will reveal that
the message was sent to the Mail Group. A "Query Detail" will reveal fax
recipients, when the message was transferred to the fax suite, and the fax ID
assigned to it by the fax suite, but will not reveal the transmission status.
(The user can ascertain the transmission status via the fax suite and the fax
ID.)
NOIS: PIH-0496-21979 Routine: ^XMA21A
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT INCLUDED in this patch is:
1) a necessary change to ^AKFAX to enable it to
recognize a MailMan Fax so that it can suppress the cover page for MailMan
faxes and address the fax to the recipient ("MailMan Fax for ... ").
2) a new field in file #589500 - ^AKF("FAX", FAX TRANSMISSION FILE
589500,3 MAILMAN FAX 0;4 SET OF CODES
'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;
HELP-PROMPT: Is this a MailMan-generated fax?
If NETWORK - MAX LINES @ SEND TO field is null in the KERNEL SITE PARAMETERS
DESCRIPTION: Routine ^AKFAX checks this field to see if the
fax is a MailMan generated fax. If it is, then
1) the fax cover sheet is suppressed and
2) two additional lines are added to the top of
the fax, identifying the recipient and the fax ID.

HELP-PROMPT: Is your site fax enabled?
DESCRIPTION: Your site is fax enabled if you have the suite
of fax software and files (^AKF) and fax
capability and you choose to allow faxes to be
sent via MailMan.
To send faxes via MailMan, Mail groups (file
3.8) must first be populated in the fax
recipient and fax group multiples. Then, when
a user sends a message to a mail group, the
message is also faxed to any fax recipients in
that mail group.
Responses to the message are not faxed.

minimum. You should put the XMUSER Option out of order and shut down
mail delivery tasks. A cross reference ("F", on FORWARDING ADDRESS) is

global for the duration of the indexing. If the lock cannot be obtained,
the indexing of the new cross reference will not run. If the indexing does
not run, you can do it later by running ^XMYPOST6 yourself. ^XMYPOST6
will take about 1 minute per 2500 users in the ^XMB(3.7 global.

INSTALLATION:
1. This routine is usually mapped on systems that allow mapping,
so you will need to disable mapping for the effected routine.
2. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
option will load the KIDS package onto your system.
3. The patch has now been loaded into a Transport global on your
system. You now need to use KIDS to install the Transport global.
4. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the following
options:
Print Transport Global
Compare Transport Global to Current System
Verify Checksums in Transport Global
Backup a Transport Global

5. MSM Sites - Answer YES to the question 'Want to MOVE routines to
other CPUs?'. Enter the names of your Compute and Print server(s).
