NetImp supports up to 20 NetMail Addresses (AKA's), 15 pairs of NetMail Directories/BBS NetMail Areas, kill or keep imported netmail, full 4D addressing activity logging, and full file locking/sharing. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓███ Configuration ███▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Configuration of NetImp is provided with the program NetCfg. The first time you run NetCfg, it will create the configuration file, NetImp.Cfg. The Main Menu looks like this: <A> Edit NetMail Addresses NetMail and MsgArea Paths <C> LogFile : NETIMP.LOG <D> Check Point Addresses : No <E> Kill Imported Msgs : No <F> Trash Kludge Lines : No <G> Sysop Name : Sysop <H> BBS Name : My BBS <Q> Quit NetCfg <A> Edit NetMail Addresses. This option calls a second menu where up to 20 NetMail Addresses may be defined. Please note that only the first two will be checked until NetImp is registered. NetMail Addresses ───────────────────────────────────────────────── <A> 1:301/3 <K> <L> <C> <M> <D> <N> <E> <O> <F> <G> <Q> <H> <R> <S> <J> <T> <ESC> Quit to Main Menu ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ The NetMail Importer - Version 1.00 Page 3 │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ NetMail and MsgArea Paths. This option also calls a sub menu. Here, up to 15 NetMail Path/BBS Msg Area pairs may be defined. Please note that only the first pair is active until NetImp is registered. NetMail Path BBS Msg Area ───────────────────────────────────────────────────── <A> c:\fd\netmail Jf:\msg\netmail ──//── <N> <O> <ESC> Quit to Main Menu Upon selecting one of the pairs to edit, a prompt will be shown: Insert the path to your *.MSG directory, including the drive. eg: C:\IC\NETMAIL NetMail Path 1: c:\fd\netmail This is simply the path to your NetMail directory as used by your front-end mailer or another program. Next is the following prompt: This field is a combination of your message base type and the location of the message base. The following chart describes what the field should contain for each message base type. Hudson : H<area number><path to Hudson Database> eg: H002C:\MSGS EzyCom : E<area number><path to EzyCom Database> eg: E0004C:\MSGS Squish : S<path and filename> eg: SC:\MSG\NETMAIL JAM : J<path and filename> eg: JC:\MSG\NETMAIL BBS Msg Area 1: Jf:\msg\netmail This field can take on a variety of different forms dependent upon what type of message area your BBS uses. Hudson and EzyCom require a numeric Area Identifier followed by the path to the message database. Squish and JAM require the path and filename of the message database. <C> LogFile. Here, the path and name of the logfile NetImp should write to is defined. The log file will contain a summary of all the messages imported. <D> Check Point Addresses. This defines whether NetImp should check the Point portion of the address as well as the Zone, Net and Node when scanning for inbound netmail. If this option is set to No, NetImp will import mail destined to any point of one of the defined AKAs. <E> Kill Imported Msgs. NetImp offers the choice of marking the messages that were imported as received or killing them. If this option is Yes, then NetImp will kill them after successfully importing them into the BBS Message Database. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ The NetMail Importer - Version 1.00 Page 4 │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ <F> Trash Kludge Lines. Some message base formats don't handle Kludge lines very well. (A kludge line starts with a ^A character (a happy face)). If kludge lines appear on messages that have been imported, setting this option to Yes will delete the kludge lines when importing. <G> Sysop Name. Enter your name here. When you register, this is checked against the registration key to ensure your registration is valid. <H> BBS Name. Enter your BBS name here. As with the Sysop Name, this is also checked against the registration key. <Q> Quit NetCfg: Exits NetCfg with the option to save changes. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓███ Installation ███▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Installation of NetImp is fairly simple. First, make sure that NetCfg has been run and all the paths have been set up properly. Then, in your BBS batch file, place NetImp right after the place the mail tosser is run. ... :ProcessMail cd\mailtoss mailtoss cd\netimp netimp ... Note that no parameters are necessary for NetImp; it will look for NETIMP.CFG in the current directory. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓███ Distribution and Support Information ███▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ The latest version of The NetMail Importer is available from: The Programming Link Knight BBS (505)822-8944 (505)821-4073 14.4kbps, v32bis 14.4kbps, v32bis 1:301/3 USA 1:301/23 USA MagicName: NETIMP Support for The NetMail Importer may be obtained directly from The Programming Link, via NetMail to 1:301/3, or through the DOORWARE and RA_UTIL echos on FidoNet. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ The NetMail Importer - Version 1.00 Page 5 │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓███ Warranty and Disclaimer ███▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ This software and accompanying materials are distributed "as is" without warranty, neither expressed nor implied; including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
