Q: What are the different options for USER and SITE statements?
A: ..
User statements can define individual users, such as
USER richard.bollar 1:125/110 Richard Bollar
USER bollar 1:125/110 Richard Bollar
or
USER jdoe@somebbs.swizzle.com 1:125/1234.0 John Doe
User statements can be used to return informative files to people automaticly.
USER info@swizzle.com INFO infofile.txt
User statements can be used to stop fidonet people from using your gate;
USER bounce 1:2/3.4 User Name
USER bounce 1:203/7707.1 Twit
User statements can be used to stop mail from the internet to a specific
address (ie, the user died, etc)
USER deadperson BOUNCE
USER deadperson2 BOUNCE deaduser.txt ;shows specified file instead of default
User statements can forward mail to another site or account for you.
USER oldaddresss FORWARD newaddress
USER arcmail FORWARD null ; Any bounced messages back to Arcmail are disposed of.
User statements can used to receive text files and save them to a single
large log file, or to individual files, without being split or anything
of that nature.
USER incoming SAVETEXT c:\dirname\ ; Saves as c:\dirname\*.in files
USER logme LOGTEXT c:\gateway\logme.log ; Appends to logme.log
Q: What can I do with SITE statements?
You can define _your_ site's fidonet address(s)
SITE LOCAL 1:125/110
; SITE LOCAL 127:1/1
You can define a name for the systems that you are gating for.
SITE joesbbs 1:125/1 ; user.name@joesbbs.swizzle.com
SITE nc 1:125/0 ; user.name@nc.swizzle.com
SITE mypoint 1:125/110.1 ; user.name@mypoint.swizzle.com
SITE somewhr 1:125/120 ; user.name@somewhr.swizzle.com
You can deny a BBS by giving it the name "bounce".
SITE bounce 1:203/7707.1 ; This stops Jason Fesler's point address.
SITE bounce 1:125/9999 ; This stops "test" nodes using 1:125/9999
You can openly gate for all systems, assigning them temporary site names
at the time of gating. Their site names will always directly correlate
with their ftn address.
SITE gateway 1:125/*.* ; Either of these statements are equivalent
;SITE *ftn 1:125/*.* ; (and in fact, SITE GATEWAY translates to *ftn)
; With this statement, if Joe Blow at 1:125/1234 posts a message, his
; email address will be Joe.Blow@1234.swizzle.com.
; If Joe Blow posts from 1:125/1234.5, then his email address will be
; Joe.Blow@125-1234-5.swizzle.com .
; It looks confusing, but it's simpler than it looks. The gateway includes
; just enough information in the numeric portion of the address to figure
; out where to send it back to if it needs to.
; Nodes in your net: user.name@<node>.swizzle.com
; Nodes outside....: user.name@<net>-<node>.swizzle.com
; Points : user.name@<net>-<node>-<point>.swizzle.com
; Outsize your zone: user.name@<zone>-<net>-<node>-<point>.swizzle.com
;
; You may specify multiple SITE GATEWAY .. statements if you wish to
; use this addressing style for more than one group of people.
; The Net 203 Gateway (wmeonlin.sacbbx.com) uses this format for
; the entire Northern California (USA) region, since I can deliver the mail
; faster than using the "standard" fidonet address.
You can also define the older style addresses, ie for .fidonet.org .
; The next statement is to allow gating, but using the "standard" fidonet
; address. Use this for people that are outside of the area that you are
; normally willing to gate for.
;
; Note that we can specify the actual .fidonet.org name, or specify
; an alternate name ( rbbsnet.org ? etc ). Note that the SITE fidonet keyword
; implies the fidonet STYLE that has been used for many years...
SITE fidonet 1:*/*.* fidonet.org ; can also use SITE *user@*fnz.fidonet.org 1:*/*
SITE fidonet 2:*/*.* fidonet.org ; can also use SITE *user@*fnz.fidonet.org 2:*/*
SITE fidonet 3:*/*.* fidonet.org ; can also use SITE *user@*fnz.fidonet.org 3:*/*
SITE fidonet 4:*/*.* fidonet.org ; can also use SITE *user@*fnz.fidonet.org 4:*/*
SITE fidonet 5:*/*.* fidonet.org ; can also use SITE *user@*fnz.fidonet.org 5:*/*
SITE fidonet 6:*/*.* fidonet.org ; can also use SITE *user@*fnz.fidonet.org 6:*/*
SITE fidonet 8:*/*.* special.org ; can also use SITE *user@*fnz.special.org 6:*/*
