<H3>Automatic area creation.</H3>
<P>
If you want to use the automatic area creation you have to define a fictitious
area tagged 'DEFAULT' with the options you want for new areas like this:
<pre>
1. Area Name Area autocreada:
2. FTN area DEFAULT
3. Newsgroup
4. Moderator
5. JAM base /var/spool/mbse/mail/
6. Origin Parolas BBX. Por fin.
7. Fido Aka 0:0/0@ 22. Sysop Sec. 100
8. QWK name 15. Days Old 40 23. Aliases No
9. Group AUTOCREADAS 16. Max. Msgs 1000 24. Quotes No
10. Distrib. 17. Netreply 0 25. Mandatory No
11. Area Type Echomail 18. Active Yes 26. UnSecure No
12. Msg Kinds Public 19. User Del. Yes 27. OLR Default No
13. FTN chars IBMPC 2 20. Read Sec. 5 28. OLR Forced No
14. RFC chars LATIN-1 2 21. Write Sec. 5 29. Connections
</pre>
The FTN area's Tag must be 'DEFAULT' exactly. Connections will be left blank. Fill
the remaining options with your defaults for the new areas.
If Fido AKA has not been filled in, the best fitting AKA according to the origin of
the message will be used from the configuration.<BR>
<P>
Areas will be created as is laid out in this template, the tag of a new area
will be added to the name and base path, the new tag will be placed in the tag
and qwk name (truncating it if needed).
Only the node from which the new area is received will be added in connections.
<P>
You will need to change the setup, menu 18, item 2, to change the command
'mbfido tic toss'. Add the -a parameter if you want the automatic
creation of areas to work when importing received mail.
So the commandline would be like <b>/opt/mbse/bin/mbfido tic toss web -a -quiet</b>.
If you want to use the automatic area creation you have to define this in the
message area groups. This has been changed since MBSE BBS version 0.33.19.
