<h1>Binkly style outbound documentation for MBSE BBS.</H1>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The MBSE BBS outbound directory structure is BinkleyTerm compatible, with
|
|
|
|
|
domains and point subdirectories (full 5d). There are separate "protected" and
|
|
|
|
|
"unknown" inbound directories for incoming sessions. Files received during
|
|
|
|
|
outbound sessions are always placed in the "protected" inbound directory. Only
|
|
|
|
|
the "protected" inbound directory is processed automatic.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this is a very simple document and that it is not even finished.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
.pol Poll flag, is handled as crash immediate, the length is always 0 bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flow files are files with the full pathnames to the files to send
|
|
|
|
|
on disk. Names are translated by MBSE BBS to full DOS filenames and
|
|
|
|
|
paths depending on your setup.
|
|
|
|
|
If you use it then it is importand that you think about the directory
|
|
|
|
|
structure to use. See also the documentation about the setup of the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="ftpserver.html">ftp server</a>
|
|
|
|
|
The filenames may be prepended with a special character:
|
|
|
|
|
# = Truncate file after sent.
|
|
|
|
|
- or ^ = Kill file after sent.
|
|
|
|
|
@ = Leave file after sent, this is the default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.flo Normal flow file (contains complete filenames to send).
|
|
|
|
|
.clo Crash flow file.
|
|
|
|
|
.hlo Hold flow file.
|
|
|
|
|
.ilo Immediate flow file, overrides CM flag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following are .pkt files, during the mail session they will be
|
|
|
|
|
renamed to nnnnnnnn.pkt with an unique name and added to the spool
|
|
|
|
|
file. Messages can allways be added to the outbound as long as the
|
|
|
|
|
node isn't locked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.out Normal .pkt file.
|
|
|
|
|
.cut Crash .pkt file.
|
|
|
|
|
.hut Hold .pkt file.
|
|
|
|
|
.iut Immediate .pkt file.

It seems that these are subdirectories used by ifpack during packing
|
|
|
|
|
of mail. These are used for the news/e-mail gate.

.sts Node status file created by mbcico. These are data files containing
|
|
|
|
|
three values:
|
2002-01-27 14:59:50 +00:00
|
|
|
1. 'time', this is the time when a new call to this node is allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
(in time_t format).
|
2001-10-22 17:33:55 +00:00
|
|
|
2. 'retries', is the number of retries to try to connect that node. This
|
|
|
|
|
field is zeroed when the call succeeds or when that node calls in.
|
|
|
|
|
It is also zeroed when a new poll is created. Currently, mbcico stops
|
|
|
|
|
calling a node if the counter is higher then 30.
|
|
|
|
|
3. 'code', is the return code of the last attempt.
|
|
|
|
|
0 - Successfull call
|
|
|
|
|
1 - No dialout port available
|
|
|
|
|
2 - No CONNECT or TCP connect failed
|
|
|
|
|
3 - Could not reset the modem
|
|
|
|
|
4 - System is locked
|
|
|
|
|
5 - Retry time not reached?
|
|
|
|
|
6 - Fatal error in nodelist lookup
|
|
|
|
|
7 - Call prohibited by config options
|
|
|
|
|
8 - Phone number unavailable
|
|
|
|
|
9 - No free matching port
|
|
|
|
|
10 - Unused
|
|
|
|
|
11..29 - Session (handshake) errors.

.spl Spool file, created by mbcico.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.bsy Busy file, for locking nodes. The 'pid' of the process who locked that
|
|
|
|
|
node is inserted into this file. All programs of the MBSE BBS package
|
|
|
|
|
(and ifcico package) check if the pid exists if a .bsy file is found.
|
|
|
|
|
If there is no pid found, the lock is a stale lock and is removed.
