Supplemental Documentation for Carbon Copy
by Ken Goosens
1 January 1991
RBBS-PC version 17.4 is enhanced to support Carbon Copy for messages,
nd personal uploads to one or more recipients.
Messages can be addressed to multiple recipients. Recipients can
be specified in two ways:
o individually, one at a time, in response to the "Who to" prompt.
o as a group, via a "distribution list".
Distribution lists are stored in a particular drive path specified
in configuration parameter 171. The distribution list to be used
is selected using option "D" in response to who to. Then the caller
can name a particular distribution list by name. The name will have
the extension ".LST" added to and be looked for in the distribution
drive/path. If the caller is in novice mode or asks for help,
the help file specified by configuration parameter 170 will be
displayed. This help file basically should be a menu of distribution
lists. The names in the distribution list should be one to a line.
WARNING: multiple recipients change the structure of the message
base. Message utilities may not work properly with this modification
except for CONFIG itself. Do not, for example, use MU-PURGE.
The ability to have multiple recipients in a message is controlled
by parameter 160. The default is not to allow carbon copy. If
you are using NetMail or external message utilities, you should set
the message base to disallow multiple recipients.
Configuration parameter 159 is the minimum security to do a
personal upload. By setting it low or high you can suitably restrict
who can upload files directly for another caller. Calls will be
notified on logon whether they have a personal upload waiting for
them.
