This is an overview for a sysop to setup a point.

There are too many Mailers, Mail Tossers and echo utilites
to go into detail. Below is a brief layout of what a sysop
will do to setup a point.


Step 1. Mailer
        Your mailer uses a nodelist to send/receive mail. Refer to
        the mailers documention on adding a private nodelist or
        adding an address to your existing nodelist. You may operate
        using Session Level Passwords. To decide whether
        you asign the user a point address or a fakenet address refer
        to the Point Address Note below.


* Point Address Note *

         The decision to use a point address (1:106/500.1) or
         a fakenet number (23:100/34, [you make up this number!])
         is based on if your mailer and/or tosser is point aware.
         This is known as 4D addressing. Most of the mailers and 
         tossers today can handle point addressing. Please
         refer to your docs to see if this is the case so you
         can decide on the address scheme to use. Since
         WIN-MAIL is a crash system (meaning it will call your
         system, you NEVER call the point) you will have to flag
         all mail for your points as HOLD.


Step 2. Mail Tosser
        Add the point address to your tossers configuration. This is
        necessary so that your tosser will know who to prepare mail for.
        To decide whether you assign the user a point address or
        a fakenet address refer to the Point Address Note above.


Step 3. Echo List Processor - Utility
        One such utility is called AREAFIX. What this utility will do
        for you is automate the process of turning off/on echos that the
        point system will request. Basically the way this utility works is
        by reading a specially formatted message that the point will send.
        The format is as follows and WIN-MAIL follows the format as well,
        however, this process is automated for the point in WIN-MAIL.
        This is not a requirement however, this utility will do all the work
        of turning on/off echos for the point.

        * AreaFix Message Format *

        From: User Name

        To: AREAFIX

        Subject: The password you assign the user

        Body of the Message: (Note each echo is on a line by itself)

        WINDOWS       <---------- Turn on this echo
        MS_WORD       <---------- Turn on this echo
        MS_EXCEL      <---------- Turn on this echo
        -POLITICS     <---------- Turn off this echo
        WHITEHOUSE    <---------- Turn on this echo
        -LAN          <---------- Turn off this echo
        MISSING_CHILD <---------- Turn on this echo
        ---           <---------- Tearline, meaning end of message


        There are several such utilities, so refer to the documentation.

        *The above is the format that WIN-MAIL will generate and send*


Step 4. Supply the user of WIN-MAIL with a list of echos so they can
        decide what they would like to receive.


The above is just an outline of what is needed to set up a point.
As stated previously, there are too many products that a sysop
can use to list all configurations for all the different environments
that a sysop would be running. Please refer to the documention that
came with the software that you are using.

Trinity SoftWARE Development would like to Thank You for taking
the time to set a user up so that they will be able to use
WIN-MAIL with your system.
