Systems Configuration

This is the window used to configure new systems. You will have to enter some information:

The name of the system (BBS or Internet provider) you want to add.

The packet name the system uses. Remember to omit extensions. Note that a packet name is not mandatory and is only required on system types where you actually receive you mail in packet/file. TCP systems for Internet usage do not required a packet name, but if you choose to provide on, Thor will assume this is a mailbox and parse it as one. This can be handy for SMTPd where you receive your mail via SMTP instead of POP3. Please refer to the THOR.faq for how to set this up.


  Some examples:

   System Type:   Example grab:    Packet name:
   ------------   -------------    ------------
   ABBS/MBBS      thule.lzx        thule
   QWK            thule1256.qwk    thule
   SOUP           soup3683.soup    soup
   Omen           omenb1.zip       omenb1
   BlueWave       romeo.zip        romeo
   Hippo          girls.lzh        girls
   Fido           1CA9B792.SU0     #?.((MO|TU|WE|TH|FR|SA|SU)[0-9]|PKT)
   UUCP           john             john

  Use the maximum number of letters possible to identify  the 
  grabs,  e.g.,  "WHT" if grabs are named "WHT010993.QWK" and the
  numbers change from session to session.
  Do not use the same packet name on two systems!

The type of system or message format on the system you are calling (choose from the list).

A few other configuration windows are used for other parameters on a system wide level:
