Glossary and Conventions

Conventions Used

The Config.pm file is the Configuration file, stuff you set in this file is used by Mojo Mail scripts to do their business. A configuration file is created to keep global settings available for all these scripts at once.

Variables in the Config.pm file are always in ALL CAPS, which should give you a clue that these variables are global, or, used in lots of places.

Throughout this guide, we'll be referring to variables in all caps for you to change and set. These variables are always located in the Config.pm file.

Variables

Variables are containers for information. They're Perl code and usually look like this:

 $variable = 'some value';

Global variables are in ALL CAPS and are usually set in the Config.pm file
Variables unique to a script that you may want to change are Capitalized.
All other variables are usually all in lowercase.

These three conventions are just rules Mojo Mail follows and aren't something that's set in stone in Programming World.

Mojo Root Password
The Mojo Root Password is the main password for Mojo Mail. It's set in the Config.pm file
Mojo Root Administrator
When you log into a list using the Mojo Root Password, you become the Mojo Root Administrator. Additional administration screens or enhanced functionality in regular administration screens may be available to you.
Administration Screen
An administration Screen is the information presented to you via your web browser when you're at a specific query string or click on a specific link. For example, going to:
```
 http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=send_email
```
Will show you a Administration Screen to Send Email from.
screens
We'll be referring a lot to the term ``screen''. A screen is basically what's being displayed in your web browser. We really can't call it a page, since it's dynamically made and really doesn't physically exist. You'll see terminology throughout this manual, with instructions like, ``Wait till the screen refreshes'', or, ``On the left side of the screen''.
