|
If you fill in the DOS path then the DOS path and Unix path are translated
|
|
|
|
|
to DOS paths in the flo files for outbound mail sessions. You only need this if
|
|
|
|
|
another mailer uses the outbound that doesn't understand Unix paths.
|
|
|
|
|
The DOS path is a fake, but it must match the other mailer.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the TIC queue must be somewere in the Unix path, otherwise it is
|
2001-10-25 15:05:28 +00:00
|
|
|
impossible to create a DOS path from the path to the TIC files in that
|
|
|
|
|
directory. To set this up correctly is also important if you use other mailers
|
|
|
|
|
as well, for example binkd, or even a DOS binkly-style mailer running from
|
|
|
|
|
a network. All those mailer must "see" the same file attaches in the .flo

big downloads he can use his savings for extra large downloads. Anyway,

<p>

|
|
|
|
Note that the first 2 mailboards must also exist in the normal mail areas if
|
|
|
|
|
you want to see what is in them. Here they are defined for quick access of the
|
|
|
|
|
tosser. For the Max. systems and groups see 1.12. If you use MBSE BBS together
|
|
|
|
|
with a DOS based BBS (using DOSEMU or mars netware emulator), you can set the
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour of the outbound to 4d. addressing instead of 5d. This option may
|
|
|
|
|
dissapear in the future.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
Another option is present, this is the <strong>pktdate</strong> option. This
|
|
|
|
|
is the full path and filename to an external program that can inspect and
|
|
|
|
|
correct the mail .pkt files. Originally I put this in to run pktname of Tobias
|
|
|
|
|
Ernst of 2:2476/418 to fix y2k problems in the incoming mail. At this time
|
|
|
|
|
most y2k fixes are build in, but in case you need it it's there. To make it
|
|
|
|
|
clear; the y2ktools written by Tobias are static compiled for Linux and they
|
|
|
|
|
should run on all Linux i386 versions. Until now, I still use pktdate because
|
|
|
|

it is necessary.<br>

|
|
|
|
A note about the splitting of messages. Some tossers can't handle
|
|
|
|
|
messages greater than 16 KBytes, these tossers are rare these days. Most
|
|
|
|
|
tossers can handle messages of 32 KBytes. To set these values on the safe
|
|
|
|
|
side set "Split at" to 27 and "Force at" to 31. This means that a long
|
|
|
|
|
newfile report will be split after 27 KBytes when a new group of files
|
|
|
|
|
should start in the report. If it can't find that point because a large
|
|
|
|
|
number of files is in the group that is just being processed, the message
|
|
|
|
|
split will be forced right after the file that passes the 31 KBytes limit.
|
|
|
|
|
I use values of 1 KBytes below maximum for overhead such as SEEN-BY and
|
|
|
|
|
PATH lines. Values larger then 32 KBytes is not a good idea, recent tests
|
|
|
|
|
in May 1999 have shown that your messages will not reach all systems
|
|
|
|
|
if they are larger then 32 KBytes. Splitting is used for newsfiles reports
|
|
|
|
|
and gated news articles to Fidonet.

<h3>1.15. Edit Internet mail and news processing.</h3>
|
2001-10-25 15:05:28 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Email and news is setup here. There are three possible configurations which you
|
|
|
|
|
can set with 1.14.11:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>No ISP</strong>. If you don't have any connection to the internet
|
|
|
|
|
use this setting. Email will come from the default Fidonet UUCP gate and will be send out
|
|
|
|
|
via the UUCP gate. Users have email addresses like
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>user@f2802.m280.z2.fidonet.org</strong> Note, the username is their
|
|
|
|
|
Unix name when sending email.
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>Dial ISP</strong>. If you dial the internet regulary or are connected
|
|
|
|
|
with a cable modem without a valid DNS (Nameserver) entry you should use
|
|
|
|
|
this mode. Email will be sent via your local SMTP port, then through your
|
|
|
|
|
own sendmail (or whatever you use) to your ISP.
|
|
|
|
|
As soon as you are connected to the internet
|
|
|
|
|
the mail will be sent to your ISP's mailer. In your sendmail you should
|
|
|
|
|
define the mailer of your ISP as Smarthost. Incoming email will still come
|
|
|
|
|
from the UUCP gate. Users have email addresses like
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>user@f2802.m280.z2.fidonet.org</strong> Note, the username is their
|
2002-01-07 22:11:33 +00:00
|
|
|
Unix name. If you have your own maildomain, don't use this option, use the
|
|
|
|
|
next option:
|
2001-10-25 15:05:28 +00:00
|
|
|
<li><strong>Perm ISP</strong>. If you are permanent connected to the internet
|
|
|
|
|
either with a static or dynamic IP address use this option. Use this option
|
2002-01-07 22:11:33 +00:00
|
|
|
also if you have an UUCP domain and have a dialup UUCP connection. Also
|
|
|
|
|
you can use this for dialup if you have your own maildomain.
|
2001-10-25 15:05:28 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have a dynamic IP address you can still get a DNS name from for
|
|
|
|
|
example <A HREF="http://www.dynip.com">dynip.com</A>
|
|
|
|
|
Incoming email will come directly from the internet, but if someone sends
|
|
|
|
|
email via the UUCP gate it is also accepted. Users have email addresses like
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>user@yourbbs.domain.org</strong>. Note, the username is their
|
|
|
|
|
Unix name.
|
|
|
|

</ul>

Another word of wisdom from my side, configuration of the internet, ppp, sendmail etc. is not discussed

<h3>1.18. FTPD Settings.</h3>

<h3>1.19. Edit HTML pages setup.</h3>

Here you setup the HTML pages that can be created with the <strong>

areas and indexes of all areas. If there are pictures in these areas
|
|

thumbnails are created if you have the <strong>convert</strong>
|
|
|
|
|
command available. The document root is the same as defined in your
|
|
|
|
|
web server. The link to ftp must be created from that directory to
|
|
|
|
|
your ftp base directory. To do that become root, cd to the document root
|
|
|
|
|
and type <strong>ln -s /var/spool/mbse/ftp files</strong> In this case the link

|
|
|

is called <strong>files</strong>. Note that all download areas are accesible,
