-
- Addressing messages:
-
- There are a couple of methods that people can use to send MHS messages from
- other systems to your BBS.
-
-
- Method 1:
-
- Their MHS administrator needs to add a workgroup route entry for your host.
-
- Example:
- Your Host: yourhost
- Your PCB-MHS Workgroup: yourbbs
-
- Their MHS entry: yourbbs GTW <via yourhost>
-
- This is accomplished by their MHS administrator adding an intermediary
- workgroup (yourbbs) that is routed via your host (yourhost).
-
- Addressing a message to a user on your system (joe smith), would look like
- this:
-
- jsmith@yourbbs
-
- We strongly advise that you name your PCB-MHS workgroup something other than
- PCBOARD or PCB-MHS. It should be your BBS's name, but be different from
- your host name.
-
-
- Method 2:
-
- You need to add a user route in your MHS configuration.
-
- From the above example, you would create a user route with a username of
- your PCB-MHS workgroup name (yourbbs) or PCBOARD, that would be routed to
- your PCB-MHS workgroup (yourbbs).
-
- user-route: pcboard -> yourbbs
-
- From another system, addressing a message to a user on your system (joe
- smith), would look like this:
-
- pcboard@merlin {Joe Smith}
- or
- pcboard@merlin {jsmith}
-
- Please note the use of the extended address. You may also use this form:
-
- pcboard@merlin (Joe Smith)
- or
- pcboard@merlin (jsmith)
-
- With this method, MHS will route all mail addressed to pcboard to the
- PCB-MHS gateway (yourbbs).
-
-
- Method 3:
-
- You can set up a user route for every user that will receive MHS mail.
- Example:
- User: Joe Smith
-
- user-route: jsmith -> yourbbs
-
- This would allow any messages that were addressed to jsmith@yourhost routed
- to jsmith@yourbbs once your MHS processed the mail.
-
-
- Method 4:
-
- They can include your host name in your address.
-
- Example:
- jsmith@yourbbs [yourhost]
-
- Some email packages might not be able to address MHS messages this way.
-
-
- Addressing users from PCBoard:
-
- When entering a message in PCBoard in the MHS conference, a user can
- address the message in a couple of ways.
-
- Method 1:
-
- Placing a valid MHS address, with or without a workgroup, application,
- comment, and extention.
-
- eg.
-
- jsmith
- jsmith @ workgrup
- jsmith.applicat @ workgrup
- jsmith @ workgrup {/C=CA/ADMD=Telecom Canada/G=John/S=Smith}
-
-
- Method 2:
-
- Placing a regular user name in the destination field will cause PCB-MHS
- to format it according to standard naming conventions.
-
- eg.
-
- JOHN SMITH -> JSMITH
-
-
-
- Adding more than one workgroup for PCBoard:
-
- You can add more than one workgroup for your PCBoard by installing
- PCB-MHS multiple times. Each installation must have a different workgroup
- name and reside in a different conference.

- PCB-MHS Instructions for Direct Opeartion with cc:Mail
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You will need to create the following directory structure:
-
- MHS
- SW (1)
- MAIL
- GATES
- PCBMHS (2)
- IN
- IPARCEL
- OUT
- OPARCEL
- PUBLIC (3)
-
- NOTES:
- (1) This is usually the temporary directory. This isn't needed and you can
- use any other temporary directory or a RAM disk. This directory is sent
- to both INPOST.EXE and OUTPOST.EXE as the third parameter.
-
- (2) You should change the workgroup name of PCBMHS to something more unique
- for your BBS. If you will only be using PCB-MHS between cc:Mail and
- PCBoard, then you can call it anything you like. This is always the
- workgroup name that you chose upon installation of PCB-MHS.
-
- This directory is the directory you will give as the address for the BBS'
- cc:Mail postoffice in cc:Mail's Admin program.
-
- eg. SMFLINK c:\mhs\mail\gates\pcbmhs
-
- SMFLINK is used instead of MHSLINK because SMFLINK delivers mail directly
- to the local mailbox, thus not needing MHS.
-
- (3) This directory is where you will need to copy all of the files found on
- the distribution disk. After which you will need to run the SETUP
- program. This directory should also contain all of your log and pointer
- files.
-
- (4) You must NOT set PCB-MHS' "Allow Local Delivery" option to On/Yes
-
-
- cc:Mail's Router/Gateway manual also has examples of sample MHS setup's. Since
- you will not be using MHS's Connectivity Manager to execute PCB-MHS, you will
- have to create a batch file to run both INPOST.EXE (PCBoard to cc:Mail) and
- OUTPOST.EXE (cc:Mail to PCBoard). You will find an example in the manual.
-
-
- Upgrading to Version 1.3
- ------------------------
-
- Their are minor differences between version 1.3 and previous versions.
- The PCBMHS.CFG configuration file has been renamed to PCB-MHS.CFG.
- There is no longer a need for a message pointer file.
- The other minor visible changes are in the setup program, but they are
- documented in the online help.
