!Sample SPORT Routing Control File
!
!In order to have SPORT route your mail intelligently, you will need to
!use the Intelligent Router (SPORTRTE.EXE) and this control file.  Both
!files must be located in your SPORT default directory.
!
!This sample control file provides a basic explanation of the commands
!you can use to route mail.  Notice that comment lines begin with an
!exclamation mark and will be ignored by SPORT.  All valid command lines
!must begin in column one.
!
!
!Different parts of this control file can be activated at different times
!of the day.  Normally the Intelligent Router will try to act on each valid
!command in this file if the keyword TIMESLOT is not found.  However, if
!the keyword TIMESLOT is located, the Router will only act on lines following
!the TIMESLOT command if the system time is within the START and END hour
!arguments.  For example, if you used this statement:
!
!TIMESLOT 06 12
!
!the Router would only process commands following this command if the system
!clock was between the hours of 06:00 and 12:00.  It is very important to
!note that this time restriction REMAINS IN EFFECT until a new restriction
!is encountered (a new TIMESLOT command).   Should you wish all commands
!to ALWAYS be processed use this:
!
!TIMESLOT 00 24
!
!If you do not use a TIMESLOT command it is possible that your commands
!will not be processed or possibly not processed in the proper sequence.
!To avoid this, we suggest you always use the example TIMESLOT command
!above as the first line in your control file.
!
!TIMESLOT 00 05
!Hold 521010
!TIMESLOT 06 12
!Route 521010
!TIMESLOT 13 24
!Hold 521010
!
!
!The most basic command for the Intelligent Router is the ROUTE command.
!It has several variations:
!
!ROUTE 521010
!ROUTE 521010 TO JOEBLOW
!ROUTE 521010 HOLD
!HOLD 521010 (same meaning as the command above)
!ROUTE 521010 TO JOEBLOW HOLD
!
!First a word of explanation about routing.  To ROUTE a Flash Message means
!to move it from your inbound area (where it was received) to your outbound
!area (the SPORT default area) AND do something to it.  That "something"
!can be as simple as move it along (ROUTE 521010), put it on hold for
!the calling node to pick up (ROUTE 521010 HOLD), route it through to a
!different node altogether (ROUTE 521010 TO JOEBLOW) or route it through
!to another node but put it on hold to be picked up when that node calls
!(ROUTE 521010 TO JOEBLOW HOLD).  The key to how to route the Flash Message
!is contained in how this command line is constructed.  Study the examples
!above for the correct line contstruction.
!
!Now that you have routed mail, suppose you want to keep a copy of the
!mail you are passing along.  This can be accomplised using the IMPORT
!keyword.  Let's assume that we want to route a Flash Message from
!5210/10 to JOEBLOW but we also want to keep a copy of it in our own
!SFlash Libary.  Here is the command sequence:
!
!IMPORT 521010.*
!ROUTE 521010 TO JOEBLOW
!
!Notice that the IMPORT command takes standard DOS arguments.  In this
!way you can specify a range of Flash Messages to import (keep copies of)
!as they are routed through your system.
!
!So far, these commands have all operated on inbound mail by putting that
!mail in your outbound area and modifying it as you direct.  The Router
!also allows you to manipulate mail waiting to be sent.  This gives you
!added flexibility in scheduling mail, especially when used with the
!TIMESLOT keyword.  There are two important commands to allow you to
!manage mail waiting to be sent:
!
!MARKHOLD [filename]
!MARKSEND [filename]
!
!Like the IMPORT command above, these two commands take DOS filename
!commands and wildcards.  For example, to mark all mail to nodes
!beginning with the character string "MIKE" as hold, do the following:
!
!MARKHOLD MIKE*.*
!
!To mark all mail ready to send, use:
!
!MARKSEND *.*
!
!As you can see, using these two commands in conjunction with the keyword
!TIMESLOT, you can manage which mail is sent during specific times.
!
!Finally, you also have the capability to issue a DOS command directly
!from this control file.  To do so, use this keyword:
!
!DOS=[doscommand]
!
!Please notice that there are no spaces between the "DOS" and the commmand
!you wish to execute.  The ONLY valid seperator is an equal sign.  The
!format of this command must be exact and the DOS command must be a valid
!one for the Intelligent Router to process it.
!
!
!Now... it's time to construct your own control file...
