Below is only a suggested method for running Inet 4.0 under Spitfire 3.5. Shakey Jake's (1:202/1324) is currently running Inet 4.0 on a 2 node Spitfire 3.51 BBS with Frontdoor 2.12/SW. INET has also been extensively tested with Spitfire 3.51 and Intermail 2.29G. 1. The way Inet is set up on Shakey Jake's is that incoming Internet Email is placed in the FD netmail directory by FD. This directory is named: C:\FD\MAIL. Then when INET is run, it reads Internet Email right out of Frontdoor and replies are written right back into Frontdoor. One additional feature is the ability to reply to Netmail in INET while you're logged on to your board. On Shakey Jake's, INET is run in the SFLOGON.BAT file so that users can read and reply to their Email as they log on. It's also run from the Message Menu extension as Internet Email Functions, using Mike Robinson's fine menu extension program MultiMenu. 2. Listed below is the actual INET.CFG file used on Shakey Jake's: Sysop Jacques shake SysopSecLvl 30 RegistrationKey 0 Origin 1:202/1324 Gate 1:202/777 GateName UUCP DomainName @f1324.n202.z1.fidonet.org ToLineFormat To: $\r ReplyLineFormat Reply-To: $\r\r MsgAreaName Shakey Jake's Free Internet Email Flags CRA LOC PVT K/S A/S AppendText C:\INET\APPEND.TXT AddressBook MaxFileDays 120 MaxAddresses 30 PublicBookSecurity 30 PostSecurityLevel 10 Editor MsgInfo msg.inf MsgInfoFormat FROM TO SUBJ MSGNUM MSGAREA PRIVATE MsgTemp msgtmp MessageCost 0 LogFilePath c:\inet Outbound c:\fd\mail SemaPhore c:\fd\fdrescan.now MsgBasePath MsgBaseType NONE MsgBoard 0 WriteTo CheckFor REPLYADDR CheckFor REPLY-TO: StartCharacter <[( EndCharacter >]) ReplaceWithSpace _. LinesToCheck 30 LogLevel 2 LogSize 150 This config file works but feel free to modify it as needed... 3. Here is a sample SFLOGON.BAT file: cd\telecomm\sf c:\inet\inet /read=c:\fd\mail /personal /new /node1 Inet should be run from the node directory in order to find the appropriate drop file (door.sys). The /personal switch looks for personal mail for the current user. The /new switch will cause it to only show unread messages. The sysop can use this feature to read and reply to Netmail... Note: Messages previously read in Frontdoor won't show up as new. 4. The only thing left to do is add the Internet Email Functions options somewhere on your board. It can be added as option K from any menu, or it can be set up as a door or as any menu extension. On Shakey Jake's it is located in a menu extension off of the Message Menu, using Mike Robinson's excellent program MultiMenu. Here is a sample menu from Shakey Jake's: MultiMenu for any BBS <1> Lakota Offline Mail Reader <2> SFMail Offline Mail Reader <3> Jetmail Offline Mail Reader <4> SFQuick Offline Mail Reader <5> Internet Email Functions The important portion of the batch file to run option 5 above is: Option 5: c:\ cd\telecomm\sf c:\inet\inet /read=c:\fd\mail /personal /node1 5. As you may have noticed above, I don't use Replychk. Since I'm reading Email directly out of the Frontdoor Netmail directory, Replychk is not needed. 6. This is just one way of running the Internet Connection program in Spitfire. There are many other possibilities including combinations of tossing Email into the SF message base. I chose this option and it works. If you want to observe Inet in action; call Shakey Jake's at (619)448-6470 (28,800) or at (619)448-2658 (14,400). If you have questions, I can always be contacted in the Spitfire echo as well as the Omega_Soft echo. Mark Williamson, the author of INET also frequents the above echos and is very prompt in responding. Jacques Shake
