Trying to setup Netmail in my PCBoard bbs. Does someone have a doc RF>or txt file that explains how to do this?
I have a text file describing the entire Fidonet configuration, incl. Netmail, for PCBoard. In uncompressed state it's 44+Kb.
Have a nice day,
Holger
Do you have your echos/conferences set up properly, and set to Fido? Are you using the built in Fido mailer, or something else? Intermail does PCB natively.
It may be possible. Just not from the oringial author. He sold it. Right now I dont remember who purchased the code. He never did anything with it.
I just wish I could get echo msgs going out with PCBoard. Like I said no trouble getting it in.The built in fido tosser should extract the mail packets. Irex should be able to do the mailing using binkd. It will do either binkley (BSO) style or arc attach style like PCB uses. Unless you have more then two downlinks, it is free.
Well if You think of anything please let me know.
Any questions??
First, get a mail-/QWK-reader. MultiMail is a FREE and decent QWK reader available for most operating systems. Instead of the built-in editor I would recommend the old Windows "EDIT.COM" or the "The Semware Editor" (TSE4JR.ZIP), formerly QEdit, though not free and I think awailable also for Windows.
Then create a directory for the incoming/outgoing mail.
Then, by issuing the command "qw d" at a PCB command promt from SYSOP-.., download a QWK packet that will contain messages from the areas you have subscribed to. PCB will ask where to put the downloaded mail packet.
You must get your mail-/QWK-reader to pull in the messages from the QWK- packet you have downloaded. That is specified in the setup of the mail program.
Your reply or originating messages will be packed into a QWK packet to the same directory as the received mail.
Then, when finished, go to a PCB command prompt from SYSOP-.. and issue the command, "qw u". PCB will ask for the directory of the packet and will then import it for further distribution to your host.
Next time you pull in a qwk packet from you host, you will also receive copies of your sent messages.
Any questions??
