To automatically distribute bulletins via the BBS network using the PE1CHL
version of KA9Q NET, proceed as follows:
Create the bulletin as a textfile in the MQUEUE directory, using a unique
filename with the .TXT extension, e.g. "BULL0001.TXT".
The first 4 lines of this textfile should be like this:
Subject: Sending bulletins to the BBS
From: PE1CHL
Message-Id: <456@pe1chl>
X-BBS-Msg-type: B
The lines can be in any sequence. It is also possible to add other
RFC822-style header lines, like "Date:", to this group of lines.
The headers end with an empty line.
After the empty line, put the body of your message. Do not use lines with
only a ^Z, a period or the text /EX on it, because these will cause the message
to be truncated by some systems.
When the textfile is finished, create a file with the same name, but the
extension .WRK, e.g. "BULL0001.WRK".
This file must have three lines, that look like this:
pi8ayb.bbs
pe1chl.ampr.org
all%nldnet@pi8ayb.bbs
The first line is the BBS where the message should be uploaded (plus a .bbs
extension)
The second line is the identification of your station
The third line specifies the destination of the bulletin. The parts "all"
and "nldnet" are sent to the BBS during the upload.
Make sure that there are no empty lines at the end of the file! There must
be only three lines, or the procedure will fail!
When these files are created, and the forward script for "pi8ayb.bbs" exists,
the bulletin is automatically uploaded at the next smtp timer tick.
When the uploading is okay (as far as the forward script is concerned), the
.WRK and .TXT files will be automatically deleted.
