You will probably want this to be you. Email Conference -> Your Wildcat conference number for E-mail. There should only be one conference for E-Mail and it should be configured as in MAKEWILD.TXT. Bounce Messages -> If a message arrives and the address can't be translated, wcGate will send a message back to the sender telling them of the problem if this is set to yes. Setting it to No may speed up mail processing a little, but at the cost of not informing the sender if there is a problem. GMT OffSet -> This is the number of hours and minutes your location is offset from Greenwich Mean Time. You will probably need to consult an atlas or ask someone at your library what this is. This time is -4 hours on the East coast and -7 hours on the West coast, but check your local offset just to be sure. Organization -> This is a line that will be displayed in the message header of every outgoing message from your system. You will probably want it to be your BBS name and maybe your location if there is enough room. Local Domain Name -> This is your fully qualified domain name that you have registered. It will take some time after you have filled out the forms for this to become active, but your UUCP host should give you a temporary one to use until that time. My temporary address was jamesbbs.uucp until my domain name became active. Local Site Name -> Usually the first part of your domain name before the period. Be sure to ask your UUCP host exactly what your site name is. News Request Name -> Used if you are providing mail to downlink nodes. You shouldn't need to mess with this yet. Secondary Domain Name -> A new feature of wcGate 4.01 which allows you to specify a second domain name, you may want to use this for your temporary domain name.

You will have to ask your host for a list of all newsgroups available to you and you will get this name from that list. Some hosts have automated systems for requesting new newsgroups similar to the AREAFIX in FidoNet. My host doesn't have this and to add a new newsgroup I have to send an E-mail message and request that my host add them for me. You will need to check with your host on how to request newsgroups. Wildcat! Conference -> The conference number of the corresponding Wildcat! conference that you defined in MakeWild. Refer to MAMEWILD.TXT for information on configuring the newsgroup conferences. Distribution -> This is usually "World" which means any newsgroup message sent from your system will be echoed around the world. You may also specify limited areas here, but for now you should leave this at "World". Group Type -> This will be "Normal" in most cases. Later on you may wish to add other kinds such as mailing lists or moderated newsgroups. You can find a list of moderated groups in "NEWSGRPS.TXT" which you can get from your host. Mailing List Name -> You shouldn't need to mess with this yet so just leave it blank. Reply to Address -> address to send mail if the group you are defining is a mailing list or a moderated newsgroup. You should leave this blank for your normal newsgroups.

This must be no longer than the length of a legal DOS file name (no more than 8 characters). Attach Limit -> This is the maximum file size in KiloBytes for outgoing file attaches. wcGate uses a utility known as UUENCODE to encode file attaches and place the file information in the body of the message. wcGate will only UUENCODE messages that are equal to or smaller than this file size. There is no limit for the size of incoming file attaches. Host Domain Name -> The fully qualified domain name of your host system. Your host will tell you this when you sign up for service. Host Site Name -> The "Machine Name" of your host. This is usually the first part of your host's domain name. Again, you will have to ask your host for exactly what this is. Delete Files -> This controls whether wcGate deletes incoming mail packets after it has finished processing them. You will keep this as Yes unless you plan on further processing the mail packets after wcGate has finished unpacking and tossing the mail. Feed Type -> Keep this as provider for now since they are sending you the mail. You will only need to set this as Downlink Node if you are acting as a host for another BBS. Send Non-Local Mail -> Set this to yes for your provider. Allow News Requests -> Leave this as No for now. Spool Directory -> This is where wcGate will look for incoming mail to process from UUCICO. The last directory in the path should be the same as the name you entered in HostName. This is VERY important! Satellite Directory -> Directory for wcGate to look for mail packets received from a satellite service such as Planet Connect. Work Directory -> Temporary directory wcGate will make when it is decompressing mail files. This is usually \WILDCAT\GATEWAY\UUCPWORK. Response Directory -> Just leave this blank for now. -------------- Now press [F4] to edit the newsgroups that will be activated for this node. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � MakeGate Copyright (C) 1993,94 Mustang Software, Inc.

Remember whenever you add a new newsgroup you must come back here and turn it on for your host. Pressing [F9] from the host edit screen will allow you to translate names as they come in and out of your system. With translate you can let any user in the Wildcat! database have any name for their address. You should set up incoming translations for you for Root, Postmaster and SysOp. You might also want translations for other things like support and membership issues.

External Name -> The name that will be used on the Internet. More on that in a second. Action -> You can choose to translate the names that are incoming, outgoing or both. Outgoing translations will change the user's name from as it appears in the Wildcat! database to whatever name you specified. In the above example James Marous in the database would become james when the messages are exported. The domain name (@jamesbbs.com) is added automatically. Incoming translations work just the opposite. Names that match the translation name are changed to the user's name as it appears in the Wildcat! database. In my example, james@jamesbbs.com would be translated to James Marous when the message is tossed. Translating both does both of these things.
