DOOR.ID
Many maildoors now produce (and readers use) a file called
Door.Id that was developed by Greg Hewgill. It is intended
to give the reader information on the capabilities of the
door that produced the packet (and presumably will process
the *.REP produced). It is a straight text file with the
following format. Each line is in the format ControlWord
space equals space value.
DOOR = <doorname>
This is the name of the door that created the QWK
packet, eg. <doorname> = Tomcat.
VERSION = <doorversion>
This is the version number of the door that created
the packet, eg. <doorversion> = 2.9.
SYSTEM = <systemtype>
This is the underlying BBS system type and version,
eg. <systemtype> = Wildcat 2.55.
CONTROLNAME = <controlname>
This is the name to which the reader should send
control messages, eg. <controlname> = TOMCAT.
CONTROLTYPE = <controltype>
This can be one of ADD, DROP, or REQUEST (or others).
ADD and DROP are pretty obvious (they work as in
Markmail), and REQUEST is for use with BBS systems
that support file attachments. Try out SLMR with
CONTROLTYPE = REQUEST and use the Q function.
RECEIPT
This flag indicates that the door/BBS is capable of
return receipts when a message is received. If the
first three letters of the subject are RRR, then the
door should strip the RRR and set the 'return-receipt-
requested' flag on the corresponding message.
