+ # this is an example message forwarding file for the system
+ #
+ # The format of each line is as follows
+ #
+ # type to/from/at pattern action destinations
+ # P/B/F T/F/A regex I/F [ call [, call ...] ]
+ #
+ # type: P - private, B - bulletin (msg), F - file (ak1a bull)
+ # to/from/at: T - to field, F - from field, A - home bbs, O - origin
+ # pattern: a perl regex on the field requested
+ # action: I - ignore, F - forward
+ # destinations: a reference to an array containing node callsigns
+ #
+ # if it is non-private and isn't in here then it won't get forwarded
+ #
+ # Currently only type B msgs are affected by this code.
+ #
+ # The list is read from the top down, the first pattern that matches
+ # causes the action to be taken.
+ #
+ # The pattern can be undef or 0 in which case it will always be selected
+ # for the action specified
+ #
+ # If the BBS list is undef or 0 and the action is 'F' (and it matches the
+ # pattern) then it will always be forwarded to every node that doesn't have
+ # it (I strongly recommend you don't use this unless you REALLY mean it, if
+ # you allow a new link with this on EVERY bull will be forwarded immediately
+ # on first connection)
+ #

+
+ Simply insert a bulletin address and state in the brackets where you
+ wish that mail to go. For example, you can see here that mail sent to
+ "UK" will only be sent to the UK links and not to PA4AB-14.
+
+
+ To force the cluster to reread the file use load/forward

+
+ The _\bm_\bs_\bg command is a very powerful and flexible tool for the sysop.
+ It allows the sysop to alter to and from fields and make other changes
+ to manage the cluster mail.
+
+ Here is a full list of the various options ...
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ MSG TO <msgno> <call> - change TO callsign to <call>
+ MSG FRom <msgno> <call> - change FROM callsign to <call>
+ MSG PRrivate <msgno> - set private flag
+ MSG NOPRrivate <msgno> - unset private flag
+ MSG RR <msgno> - set RR flag
+ MSG NORR <msgno> - unset RR flag
+ MSG KEep <msgno> - set the keep flag (message won't be deleted ever)
+ MSG NOKEep <msgno> - unset the keep flag
+ MSG SUbject <msgno> <new> - change the subject to <new>
+ MSG WAittime <msgno> - remove any waiting time for this message
+ MSG NOREad <msgno> - mark message as unread
+ MSG REad <msgno> - mark message as read
+ MSG QUeue - queue any outstanding bulletins
+ MSG QUeue 1 - queue any outstanding private messages
+
+
+
+
+ These commands are simply typed from within the cluster as the sysop
+ user.

+
+ You can check on a message from within the cluster by using the
+ command _\bs_\bt_\ba_\bt_\b/_\bm_\bs_\bg. This will give you additional information on the
+ message number including which nodes have received it, which node it
+ was received from and when etc. Here is an example of the output of
+ the command ...

+ Distribution lists are simply a list of users to send certain types of
+ mail to. An example of this is mail you only wish to send to other
+ sysops. In /spider/msg there is a directory called _\bd_\bi_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo. You put
+ any distibution lists in here. For example, here is a file called
+ SYSOP.pl that caters for the UK sysops.

+ Any mail sent to "sysop" would only be sent to the callsigns in this

+
+ Spider provides a simple BBS interface. No input is required from the
+ sysop of the cluster at all. The BBS simply sets the cluster as a BBS
+ and pushes any required mail to the cluster. No mail can flow from
+ Spider to the BBS, the interface is one-way.
+
+
+ Please be careful not to flood the cluster network with unnecessary
+ mail. Make sure you only send mail to the clusters that want it by
+ using the Forward.pl file very carefully.
