- I have organised my Mailbox into subdirectories as folows: (you may
- like to copy it or leave your system as is - you will have to alter a few
- little items in the servers config files if you do not copy it, though!)
-
- The basic structure is as follows:
-
- ROOT -
- |- BBS
- |- MB -
- |- DIS
- |- DOC
- |- FWD
- PUBLIC -
- |- Texts directories
-
- Reasons:
-
- The ROOT directory contains all the REQUIRED files of the root directory,
- e.g. AUTOEXEC.NET, HOSTS.NET, REQXXX.DAT, etc, etc
-
- \BBS is where all the message files and the WORKING copies of the .MB W0RLI
- configuration files live.
-
- \MB is where all the EXECUTABLE W0RLI mailbox files, server files, server
- config files and COPIES of the W0RLI .MB config files live. I keep copies
- of the .MB files here to edit at leisure without having to worry about
- SHARE locking files in the \BBS directory. When they are all edited to
- my satisfaction I simply copy the .MB file I have edited into the \BBS
- directory for current use.
-
- \MB\DIS contains a series of files for DISTRIBUTION lists. I therefore specify
- them in my CONFIG.MB file as being in this directory, e.g.
- d * GBR C:\MB\DIS\GBR.DIS
-
- \MB\DOC is where I keep all my .DOC files.
-
- \MB\FWD is where I keep all my forward files. I do not specify all forwarding
- parameters in my FWD.MB file, rather I get that file to "point" to
- files in here. I therefore edit these and worry not about the FWD.MB
- file... for example, I might have in the FWD.MB file the following:
-
- FC0016GB7GUR
- @C:\MB\FWD\GB7GUR.FWD
- *** EOF
-
- This saves a lot of agro, particulary if you have two or three entries
- specifying alternative routes to the mailbox in question; the SAME file
- can be referred to in every case.
-
- Hope this is of some use.
