│░░░░░░ Purpose and Overview ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
I have been running FrontDoor v1.99, the fine Front End Mailer,
by Joaquim Homrighausen & Peter Stewart for many months. I have
found that I wanted to provide a certain level of security
which was not provided by this Mailer, or any other that I have
used. FDSecure works only with the FrontDoor Mailer product.
╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│░░░░░░ Operation ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
You call FDSecure after receiving mail but before calling your
mail processor. (Qecho, TosScan, ConfMail, Etc.) FdSecure will
search your inbound mail directory for target file(s) which you
specify in the config file. If a target file is found,
FDSecure will read your FrontDoor Log, and determine who sent
the file. It will then determine if the sender appeared in
your "OK TO SEND" list. If it came from an AUTHORIZED person,
FDSecure will then exit. If it came from an UN-authorized node,
FDSecure will, 1). Move the file to a directory of your choice,
2). Log its activity to the FrontDoor Log in the standard
format, and 3). Send YOU a NetMail message, causing your "Mail
Waiting" flag to flash, informing you of the offending
filename, who sent it, its size, and time.
╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│░░░░░░ Command Line Switches ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
There is only one command line switch. By default, FDSecure
will search for it's config file named 'FDSecure.Cfg'. If you
choose to specify a different config file for some reason,
(perhaps in subsequent running of the program), you may use the
switch, /C. ie:
FDSecure /Cmyconfig.Cfg
(no space between switch and filename)
╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│░░░░░░ Log Verbosity ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
You must have enabled the "Brief Messages" option (+), and the
"Sent/Rcvd files" option (*) enabled in the FrontDoor Setup,
log section. Here is the recommended log verbosity:
╒════════════════════════════ Log ╕
│ │
│ ! Fatal errors Yes │
│ ? Other errors Yes │
│ $ Accounting info Yes │
│ * Sent/Rcvd files Yes │ <-- Required
│ : Forwarding of mail Yes │
│ + Brief messages Yes │ <-- Required
│ - Trivial messages No │
│ % Transfer throughput Yes │
│ ~ Session information Yes │ <-- Suggested
│ = Modem responses No │
│ DEBUG: All of the above No │
│ │
╘═════════════════════════════════╛
The levels marked above as "Required" are required in order for
FDSecure to operate. The option marked "Suggested" will give
FDSecure additional information, but is not required.
╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│░░░░░░ The Config File ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
All Config file entries preceeded by a semi-colon are ignored
by the program.
INBOUND - Full Path to your Inbound Mail Directory
LOGFILE - Full Path and Filename of your FrontDoor Log
BAD_DIR - Where you want FDSecure to move unauthorized files.
NETPATH - Full Drive and Path to your FrontDoor Netmail
directory.
SYSOP - Your First and Last Name, ie: Wayne Littlef
