- WP Cache Server Functions
-
-
-
- The WP Cache server collects data releated to callsigns
- and answers queries using that data.
-
- The data is collected from WP messages transiting the MailBox,
- message headers, and logged in users.
-
- Callsigns are kept in 3 different classes; users that have logged
- in to your system, MailBoxes that have been noticed in message headers,
- and users of other MailBoxes seen in WP Update messages.
-
- The data collected on each call is; Callsign, Home BBS,
- Zip or Postal Code, Name, QTH.
-
-
- The "I" group of commands are used to view the data,
- the EU command is used to manually change it if required.
-
-
- A WP query is a message addressed to WP. Each line of the message
- is the callsign, a space, and a question mark. WP returns a line
- containing all information about that callsign.
-
- There are several parameters in CONFIG.MB to control the operation of WP:
-
- 1) The global WP Server callsign.
- If this is blank, then you will act as Global WP Server.
-
- 2) The YES/NO tag that turns on Cache Server operation.
- If this is NO, then no WP Server operation is enabled.
-
- 3) The YES/NO tag that turns on @ BBS checking for messages.
-
- 4) The number of days to retain inactive callsigns.
- Note that a 0 here means "retain forever."
-
- There are 4 flavors, see config.mb for details.
-
- 5) How often to refresh local user data to the global WP.
