| FidoNET/InterNET Gateway Setup for Telegard, FD, and NetMgr...v.20 |
| _ ___________________________________________________________________ _ |
| \/ \/ |
| |
: Ok so I made this simply because there isn't ANY good documentation :
. on setting up the FidoNET/InterNET Gateway with Telegard v3.0x...... .
: :
. I assume that you are running Front Door v2.12+ and Telegard v3.0x+ .
. and have them working with a tosser already. .
This setup will allow you to toss INCOMING InterNET EMail into a
specified directory to be read in Telegard. It will also allow you .
. to send OUTGOING InterNET EMail to a gateway. You can post in the
specified directory and it will send your message out.
. Front Door Setup... .
1. Write down on a piece of paper your frontdoor NETMAIL directory.
This in C:\FD\NETMAIL on my system.
Also write down your InterNET EMail/FidoNET GATEWAY address.
. This is 1:203/2 for me. .
You also need your directory that you will be using for InterNET
EMail in Telegard.
This is c:\telegard\msgs\internet\internet on my system.
2. Edit your ROUTE.FD file to look like this:
. .
. ;
: ; Add these lines to your existing ROUTE.FD file :
| ; |
| ; |
| ; |
| ; |
| Route-to 1:203/2 |
| ; \ |
| ; (this is your gateway address) |
| ; |
| |
| 3. Edit your NAMES.FD file to look like this: |
| |
| ; |
| ; |
| ; |
| UUCP, 1:203/2 |
| ; \ |
| ; (this is your gateway address) |
| ; |
| |
| |
| NetMgr Setup... |
| |
| 1. Your NETMGR.CFG file should look something like this: |
| |
| ; |
| ; |
| Home 1:203/125.0 |
| ; \ |
| ; (this is YOUR FidoNET address as assigned) |
| ; |
| Origin Rebel Alliance -- [916] 684-6897 (1:203/125) |
| ; \ |
| ; (this is your Origin line to be placed in the InterNET |
| ; EMail) |
| ; |
| Log c:\fd\netmgr\netmgr.log |
| ; \ |
| ; (this is where you want the log file for netmgr kept and |
| ; the name of the file |
| ; |
| |
| |
| ;Incoming InterNET EMail |
| ;The following is your Front Door NetMail Directory |
| ; |
| ScanDir C:\FD\NETMAIL |
| ; \ |
| ; (this tells NetMgr what directory to look for the incoming |
| ; Internet EMail) |
| ; |
| |
| ; |
| ;The following MASK statement has YOUR FidoNET address |
| ;MASK fromname, fromaddress, toname, toaddress, subject, attrib. |
| ; |
| ; |
| Mask *, 1:203/125, *, *, *, * |
| Action Move !C:\TELEGARD\MSGS\INTERNET\INTERNET |
| ; \ \ \ |
| ; \ \ (moves whats in the mask to your specified dir.) |
| ; \ \ |
| ; \ (tells netmgr to move whats in the mask) |
| ; \ |
| ; (tells netmgr to perform an action) |
| ; |
| ; !=JAM msg base |
| ; #=Hudson msg base |
| ; $=Squish msg base |
| ; |
| ;I get all of my InterNET mail from 1:203/2, I simply tell |
| ;netmgr to move all of my internet mail to my Telegard internet |
| ;directory. (in this case a JAM base) |
| ; |
| ; |
| ; |
| ;Outgoing InterNET EMail |
| ;The following is your InterNET EMail area in Telegard |
| |
| ScanDir !c:\telegard\msgs\internet\internet |
| ; \ |
| ; \ |
| ; (This tells NetMgr what directory to look in for |
| ; outgoing InterNET EMail) |
| ; |
| ; |
| ;The following MASK has UUCP and your GateWay address |
| ;MASK fromname, fromaddress, toname, toaddress, subject, attrib. |
| ; |
| |
| |
| Mask *, *, UUCP, 1:203/2, *, * |
| Action Move C:\FD\NETMAIL |
| ; \ |
| ; (directory to move to) |
| ; |
| |
| 2. I run NetMgr without any parameters BEFORE my tosser (GEcho) runs |
| in the INBOUND, OUTBOUND and NETMAIL areas of my front door batch |
| file. |
| |
| 3. I have enclosed a copy of my NETMGR.CFG file for you to look at. |
| If you decide to use mine, you will have to change the paths to |
| match your paths. |
| |
| |
| |
| Telegard setup: |
| |
| |
| 1. From the WFC (waiting for call screen)... |
| |
| A. (S)ystem Config.--->(M)essage System--->the following: |
| |
| e. Hold all netmail NO |
| f. UUCP email gate 1:203/2 (this is your gateway) |
| g. antiquated gate YES (if your gateway req. that UUCP |
| be put in the To: line) |
| |
| quite out of this to the wfc screen. (the rest of these |
| settings should already be set up) |
| |
| B. (T)System Manager--->(M)essage Area Manager--->the following: |
| |
| |
| I. insert message base wherever you want from the prompt. |
| |
| a. Description InterNET EMail (you name it!) |
| b. Filename INTERNET (call it what you want!) |
| c. Storage path C:\TELEGARD\MSGS\INTERNET\ (s/a netmgr) |
| d. Area format JAM (whatever you are using) |
| e. to l. (whatever settings you wish) |
| |
| m. Mail address 1:203/125 (your FidoNET address) |
| n. Mail flags (you can use the defaults) |
| o. Posting type PRIVATE (unless you want others to |
| read your mail) |
| p. Anonymous No |
| r. Scan type Mandatory (everyone gets their mail) |
| s. Info filename (this is your custom message header) |
| t. to u. (whatever settings you wish) |
| |
| |
| NOTE - You also need to make sure that your NETMAIL acs level is |
| set low enough so your users can post email. This is set |
| by doing the following...[S]ytem Config (from WFC Screen), |
| [M]essage System, [C]User Access Config, [C]Write NetMail. |
| |
| |
| |
| Overall: |
| |
| |
| This is my first attempt at documenting a HELP file. I became very |
| frustrated when trying to setup InterNET EMail on my BBs. After I |
| recieved several replys on the Telegard Support Echoe of FidoNET, I |
| tried each one and found the above setup to be the easiest and |
| simplest way to set it up. |
| |
| I hope that this will prompt others to send me their ideas for making |
| InterNET EMail simpler to set up with Telegard. I will update this |
| .DOC file as I recieve new information from others. |
| |
| This setup is far from perfect but it works. For those of you having |
| problems even after trying this above setup, feel free to contact me |
| and I will help you in any way that I can. |
| |
| BTW, this page layout was stolen from another TG utility pack and was |
| modified for this file...I take no credit for the title art. |
