To install the wide area email information retrieval system, it is
assumed that you have some proficiency with procmail and smartlist:

    1) install procmail and smartmail. Both are available via anonymous
       ftp from: ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (137.226.225.3) in
       /pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.gz and
       /pub/packages/procmail/SmartList.tar.gz

       note: there are mailing lists available for help on using these
       programs: contact procmail-request@informatik.rwth-aachen.de

    2) install the rel programs as per the INSTALL file in the rel
       directory

    3) create a mailing list, using the -a option to createlist, as
       per the Manual file in the smartlist directory

    4) very important, ls -al the new archive directory that was just
       created, and using the delink program that is supplied with
       smartlist, unlink ALL files in the directory

    5) copy the contents of this directory into the new archive directory,
       overwriting the files that were delink'ed

       the files:

          rc.custom
          rc.request
          rc.submit
          arch_retrieve

       will be overwritten

    6) customize the following files:

            rc.custom
            help.txt (optional)
            archive.txt (optional)
            accept

       in rc.custom, change the list maintainer to your email address,
       and edit help.txt and archive.txt that is appropriate for your
       environment, (ie., search forward for "you" and "your" in the
       files rc.custom, help.txt, and archive.txt files, and modifiy
       appropriately), then add a the list of email addresses that
       have access to the system to the accept file

    7) to test the system, send an email to the archive with the
       word "wxyz" in it and see if it stores it-if it does, send an
       email to the request archive with a "Subject: archive" record
       and a single line "rel wxyz" and see if it fetches the email
       that was deposited; it should be returned in a MIME digest,
       which can be burst, and then responded to, etc.
