M_FILTER.DOC v1.23 FOR AUTO7P
(c) IK1GKJ
UPDATES:
VERSION 1.20 First public version
VERSION 1.21 Since i have receive many request, i have
added the possibility to reject from the capture file some type of
7plus code. The version 1.20 capture also the private messages,
and this is not a good idea. This is fixed, 1.21 always reject
private 7plus. This version was deliver only in Italy.
VERSION 1.22 Again, for many request, i have added
again the possibility to capture the personal messages; this
because many 7plus code was send to SP SYSOP. Also for the P type,
there is the possibility to accept or refuse the message.
VERSION 1.23 Because of a little bug in the memory
allocation routine, sometime a title of the message was not
properly extracted from dirmes.sys. So, Auto7p, when inquiry the
m_filter.fwd file, do not recognize that the sender is another
AUTO7P server, and send the correction request, if exist, to
original BBS instead of AUTO7P. Fixed.
M_Filter v1.23 2
FEATURES:
The program M_FILTER was written like a complement to
the server AUTO7P, and it represent an alternative to disk
forward file method to capture 7plus code.
If you use the forward file to extract the 7plus code
from messages on your bbs, there is the problem that is not
possible capture all the 7+ data without make a total forward.
This is a waste time for FBB and AUTO7P, that must select, for
example, ten 7plus file between 1 hundred of unused messages.
This time may be used by FBB for its activity.
M_FILTER solve this problem: for every message that arrive
on your BBS, it detect if the message contain 7plus code. In
this case, the message is duplicated and written into the
file M_FILTER.FWD, in a form compatible with the option
INQUIRYFILE of AUTO7P, and that contain all data needed by
AUTO7P to create a correction request if an error is encounterd.
If you have not necessity of a particular m_filter
program, the use of this program speed up the work of the server
AUTO7P. If you decide to install M_FILTER, simply copy the file
M_FILTER.EXE into the directory where reside the program
SERV.EXE of FBB, next add this line in your CRON.SYS file:
X AUTO7P INQUIRYFILE M_FILTER.FWD
Naturally, if you have already installed AUTO7P with the
forward file to disk, now you must delete this block of
forward from FORWARD.SYS, since it now is not more needed,
and remove the relative INQUIRYFILE command in the CRON.SYS file.
M_FILTER DO NOT DESTROY and DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGE in the
message sent. It only duplicate that messages that contain
valid 7plus code.
YOU CAN NOT USE ANY OTHER M_FILTER PROGRAM with the
option INQUIRYFILE of AUTO7P. If you necessity a particolar
m_filter for your BBS, and you want use the option INQUIRYFILE
of AUTO7P, you must use the forward file method, like is
describe in the AUTO7P manual.
M_Filter v1.23 3
THE SYSTEM FILE M_FILTER.SYS
============================
You must put this file in the directory where reside the
init.srv file. This file contain a list of destination fields that
is not captured by the server. The sintax is simple: every line in
the file contains two fields, the first specify if the message is
refused or accepted, the second specify the destination of the
message.
This is the correct parameters for the first field:
P Accetpt the personail mail for
!P Refuse the personal mail for
B Accept the bulletin for
!B Refuse the bulletin for
ATTENCTION TO THE SINTAX: space between '!' and B or P is not
allowed; "! B" or "! P" is incorrect, and do not work.
For example, capture only bulletins addressed to IBM, TUTTI, ATARI
and SYSOP (SB IBM, SB TUTTI, SB ATARI, SB SYSOP), and the personal
mail addressed to SYSOP (SP SYSOP):
B IBM
B ATARI
B TUTTI
B SYSOP
P SYSOP
Another example, capture all bulletins , but not AMIGA and ATARI,
and capture all personal mail addressed to SYSOP
!B AMIGA
!B ATARI
P SYSOP
If this file is not found, or if it is empty, the server
assume that you do not want any filtering, and capture any 7plus
code form messages.
