This is the way INET /POST and /REPLY are implemented here at Shangri-La,
(FidoNet 1:321/305.0). Please note that the following assumes multinode
operation, if not change the *-%K.Bat file names to suit your operation.
This was written for Maximus V-2.02, be sure to change all occurrences of
[menu_cmd xport]message, to [menu_cmd msg_xport], if you are using the
new Maximus V-3.00.
A *.msg base is assumed, as well as the following directories, (which may
be changed to ones's preferences).
C:\BBS\Max
C:\BBS\Max\Misc
C:\BBS\Max\Misc\Temp-* or whatever directory DORINFO1.DEF is created in
C:\BBS\Door\INet
C:\BBS\Message\Net
1. Change the Maximus message menu as follows than compile Max.Ctl with
SILT, (the following is found in the Message Menu section of MENUS.CTL).
Display_File C:\BBS\Max\Misc\Int_Post Normal "Enter message"
% Msg_Reply Normal "Reply to a message"
NoDsp Display_File C:\BBS\Max\Misc\DoorInfo Normal "R"
Display_File C:\BBS\Max\Misc\Int_Repl Normal "Reply to a message"
Be sure to comment out the original "Reply to a message", with "%" as
shown above.
2. Create INT_POST.MEC in your C:\MAX\MISC directory and compile it with
MECCA.
[link]C:\BBS\Max\Misc\DoorInfo
[xtern_dos] C:\BBS\Door\Inet\Post-%K.Bat
3. Create POST-%K.Bat, (in my case POST-02.BAT), in the INET directory.

C:
CD C:\BBS\Door\INet
Move C:\BBS\Max\Misc\Temp-02\DorInfo1.Def Dorinfo2.Def
INet.Exe /Post /Node2
Erase DorInfo2.Def
4. Create INT_REPL.MEC in your C:\MAX\MISC directory and compile it with
MECCA. This creates a temporary file from the current message, for more
processing by INET, (the file must be created in the INET directory).
[key_poke]=;C:\BBS\Door\INet\MaxTmp%K.Msg
[menu_cmd xport]message
[link]C:\BBS\Max\Misc\DoorInfo
[xtern_dos] C:\BBS\Door\Inet\Reply-%K.Bat
5. Create REPLY-%K.Bat, (in my case REPLY-02.BAT), in the INET directory.
@Echo Off
Cls
C:
CD C:\BBS\Door\INet
Move C:\BBS\Max\Misc\Temp-02\DorInfo1.Def DorInfo2.Def
Copy MaxTmp02.Msg MsgTmp
INet.Exe /Reply /Node2
Erase DorInfo2.Def
Erase MaxTmp02.Msg
6. Modify the REPLYCHK.CFG file, (included with INET), to suit your
system.
7. Be sure to run REPLYCHK.EXE /N=C:\BBS\MESSAGE\NET every time new mail
is received, (this file is included with INET).
8. Be sure TRANS.EXE is in the INET directory, and that you have read
the TRANS.DOC file, (both files are included with INET in the MAXIMUS.*
archive).
9. This is my INETCFG.2 for Shangri-La's node 2, the registration key
has been removed of course. :-)

For a variety of reasons, (much too complex and lengthy to be discussed
here), I chose to comment out the "MyDomain" feature, but you may want to
try it. I also commented out the "AllowHandles" feature, but I don't
think this really needs an explanation :-).
I am sure there are better and simpler ways of accomplishing the above,
but this works fine for me. As with any program, be sure to read all the
documetation files included with INET, (I expect you have read and are
familiar with the ones for Maximus).... GOOD LUCK!
