We work servers in this release in a standard way,with
some minor changes.
We have to declare these servers that we support ,in our
cnf file. When bbs gets a msg addressed to a server ,it
executes the server.Be very carefull when you write
servers.Each server must terminate its execution and
deallocates its memory,otherwise bbs will hung up. If we
write file servers,we have to give full paths to files, as
parameters.The whole procedure must take ,up to 4
seconds,because we are running multiconnect and we don't
need any longer delays.
Bbs steps during server's execution:
1.Creates a text file ,which server will read.
2.Executes server.
3.Server creates a text file with the necessary info.
4.BBs reads this text file and converts to mail.
I have made a server named 'REQINF' which gives infos
about our file and binary directories.It searches the
directories one by one and returns the contents.
Refer to the example sources.
