I assume that you are running Front Door v2.12+ and Telegard v3.0x+ . . and have them working with a tosser already. . This setup will allow you to toss INCOMING InterNET EMail into a specified directory to be read in Telegard. It will also allow you . . to send OUTGOING InterNET EMail to a gateway. You can post in the specified directory and it will send your message out. . Front Door Setup... . 1. Write down on a piece of paper your frontdoor NETMAIL directory. This in C:\FD\NETMAIL on my system. Also write down your InterNET EMail/FidoNET GATEWAY address. . This is 1:203/2 for me. . You also need your directory that you will be using for InterNET EMail in Telegard. This is C:\TELEGARD\MSGS\INTERNET\INTERNET on my system. 2. Edit your ROUTE.FD file to look like this: . . . ; : ; Add these lines to your existing ROUTE.FD file : | ; | | ; | | ; | | ; | | Route-to 1:203/2 | | ; \ | | ; (this is your gateway address) | | ; | | | | 3. Edit your NAMES.FD file to look like this: | | | | ; | | ; | | ; | | UUCP, 1:203/2 | | ; \ | | ; (this is your gateway address) | | ; | | | | | | NetMgr Setup...(NETMGR is a tosser similar to GEcho and now included). | | | | 1. Your NETMGR.CFG file should look something like this: | | | | ; | | ; | | Home 1:203/125.0 | | ; \ | | ; (this is YOUR FidoNET address as assigned) | | ; | | Origin Rebel Alliance -- [916] 684-6897 (1:203/125) | | ; \ | | ; (this is your Origin line to be placed in the InterNET | | ; EMail) | | ; | | Log c:\fd\netmgr\netmgr.log | | ; \ | | ; (this is where you want the log file for netmgr kept and | | ; the name of the file | | ; | | | | | | ;Incoming InterNET EMail | | ;The following is your Front Door NetMail Directory | | ; | | ScanDir C:\FD\NETMAIL | | ; \ | | ; (this tells NetMgr what directory to look for the incoming | | ; Internet EMail) | | ; | | | | ; | | ;The following MASK statement has YOUR FidoNET address | | ;MASK fromname, fromaddress, toname, toaddress, subject, attrib. | | ; | | ; | | Mask *, 1:203/125, *, *, *, * | | Action Move !C:\TELEGARD\MSGS\INTERNET\INTERNET | | ; \ \ \ | | ; \ \ (moves whats in the mask to your specified dir.) | | ; \ \ | | ; \ (tells netmgr to move whats in the mask) | | ; \ | | ; (tells netmgr to perform an action) | | ; | | ; !=JAM msg base | | ; #=Hudson msg base | | ; $=Squish msg base | | ; | | ;I get all of my InterNET mail from 1:203/2, I simply tell | | ;netmgr to move all of my internet mail to my Telegard internet | | ;directory. (in this case a JAM base) | | ; | | ; | | ; | | ;Outgoing InterNET EMail | | ;The following is your InterNET EMail area in Telegard | | | | ScanDir !c:\telegard\msgs\internet\internet | | ; \ | | ; \ | | ; (This tells NetMgr what directory to look in for | | ; outgoing InterNET EMail) | | ; | | ; | | ;The following MASK has UUCP and your GateWay address | | ;MASK fromname, fromaddress, toname, toaddress, subject, attrib. | | ; | | | | | | Mask *, *, UUCP, 1:203/2, *, * | | Action Move C:\FD\NETMAIL | | ; \ | | ; (directory to move to) | | ; | | | | 2. I run NetMgr without any parameters BEFORE my tosser (GEcho) runs | | in the INBOUND, OUTBOUND and NETMAIL areas of my front door batch | | file. | | | | 3. I have enclosed a copy of my NETMGR.CFG file for you to look at. | | If you decide to use mine, you will have to change the paths to | | match your paths. (NETMGR.001) | | | | | | | | Telegard setup: | | | | | | 1. From the WFC (waiting for call screen)... | | | | A. (S)ystem Config.--->(M)essage System--->the following: | | | | e. Hold all netmail NO | | f. UUCP email gate 1:203/2 (this is your gateway) | | g. antiquated gate YES (if your gateway req. that UUCP | | be put in the To: line) | | | | quite out of this to the wfc screen. (the rest of these | | settings should already be set up) | | | | B. (T)System Manager--->(M)essage Area Manager--->the following: | | | | | | I. insert message base wherever you want from the prompt. | | | | a. Description InterNET EMail (you name it!) | | b. Filename INTERNET (call it what you want!) | | c. Storage path C:\TELEGARD\MSGS\INTERNET\ (s/a netmgr) | | d. Area format JAM (whatever you are using) | | e. to l. (whatever settings you wish) | | | | m. Mail address 1:203/125 (your FidoNET address) | | n. Mail flags (you can use the defaults) | | o. Posting type PRIVATE (unless you want others to | | read your mail) | | p. Anonymous No | | r. Scan type Mandatory (everyone gets their mail) | | s. Info filename (this is your custom message header) | | t. to u. (whatever settings you wish) | | | | | | NOTE - You also need to make sure that your NETMAIL acs level is | | set low enough so your users can post email. This is set | | by doing the following...[S]ytem Config (from WFC Screen), | | [M]essage System, [C]User Access Config, [C]Write NetMail. | | | | | | | | Overall: | | | | | | This is my fourth revision of the Help file. I became very, very | | frustrated when trying to setup InterNET EMail on my BBs. After I | | recieved several replys on the Telegard Support Echoe of FidoNET, I | | tried each one and found the above setup to be the easiest and | | simplest way to set it up. | | | | I hope that this will prompt others to send me their ideas for making | | InterNET EMail simpler to set up with Telegard. I will update this | | .DOC file as I recieve new information from others. | | | | This setup is far from perfect but it works. For those of you having | | problems even after trying this above setup, feel free to contact me | | and I will help you in any way that I can. | | | | BTW, this page layout was stolen from another TG utility pack and was | | modified for this file...I take no credit for the title art. | | | | USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! | | | |---Contact Jedi Master at...-----------------------------------------------| | | | Rebel Alliance: Elk Grove, CA InterNET: Jedi.Master@125.omnibbs.com | | BBs Number : [916]684-6897 NetMail : FidoNET Addr...1:203/125 | | | | I welcome copies of batch file, .CFG, and .CTL files that help simplify | | Telegard setup and will use them if they are kept simple and easy to use. | | | `---------------------------------------------------------------------------' -END-v.40 Revised 08-05-97..
