Set SCFG->Networks->Internet->Address to your system's Internet address - (domain name or static IP). - -2. Set SCFG->Networks->Internet->Allow Sending of Netmail to "Yes". - -3. Set SCFG->Networks->Internet->Allow File Attachments to "No" - (File attachments from the BBS are not supported at this time). - -4. Set SCFG->Networks->Internet->Send NetMail using Alias however you wish - (Users can receive e-mail to their Alias OR real-name regardless of this - setting). - -5. Set SBBSCTRL->Mail Server->Configure->DNS Server to the address of your - ISP's DNS server OR set Relay Server to the address of your ISP's SMTP - server. - - -Notes -~~~~~ -Users will be able to send Internet e-mail from your BBS now (if you have a -customized TEXT.DAT make sure you have updated line 62, "InternetMailing"). - -Your users will be able to receive e-mail at your BBS using any of the -following ways: - - First.Last@your.bbs.domain Example: digital.man@vert.sync3.net - RealFirst.Last@your.bbs.domain Example: rob.swindell@vert.sync3.net - UserNumber@your.bbs.domain Example: 1@vert.sync3.net - "First Last"@your.bbs.domain Example: "digital man"@vert.sync3.net - "RealFirst Last"@you.bbs.domain Example: "rob swindell"@vert.sync3.net - -E-mail user names are not case sensitive (e.g. Digital.Man and digital.man are -both valid user names). In order for users to receive mail via usernumber, that -option must be checked in SBBSCTRL->Mail->Configure. - -E-mail sent to "SYSOP", "POSTMASTER", your BBS's QWKID, or the sysop name -(as configured in SCFG) will automatically go to user #1 on the BBS. - -Additional aliases can be configured by creating the text file CTRL\ALIAS.CFG -with the following syntax: - --------------------------------[ Begin ]-------------------------------------- - -; This is a comment -; -; Alias User Name or number - -root sysop -sysadmin sysop -webmaster sysop -great.drummer Rob Swindell - ---------------------------------[ End ]--------------------------------------- - -If a user has their account configured to forward their e-mail to an Internet -address and they receive an Internet e-mail, it will automatically be forwarded -to the configured address. - -The sysop of QWKnet nodes can receive e-mail at their QWK-ID @ their hub's -Internet domain/ip address. Example: If YOURBBS (QWK-ID) polls VERT for QWKnet, -you (the sysop) can receive e-mail at yourbbs@vert.sync3.net. - -You (or any of the user's on YOURBBS) can send Internet e-mail from YOURBBS -through VERT by sending a QWKnet NetMail message to NETMAIL@VERT with the -actual destination Internet address as the first line of the message. - - -Relaying -~~~~~~~~ -As of v1.10, the Synchronet Mail Server can be used to relay e-mail to external -servers. Due to the security (SPAM) risks of opening the SMTP server up to just -anyone, you must specify which hostnames or IP addresses you wish to allow to -relay mail. You do this by creating the file TEXT\RELAY.CAN and list the IP -addresses or host names of the systems you wish to give relay access to. If you -wish to allow relay access to all hosts (not recommended), simply create a -RELAY.CAN with one line containing ".~". - - -Planned Features -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -o File attachments from the BBS (MIME encoding/decoding) -o Public sub-boards sent via POP3 (as mailaing lists) and/or NNTP users -o Forwarding Internet e-mail to routed QWKnet (or possibly FidoNet) addresses - Example: 2@YOURBBS@vert.sync3.net would automatically foward to user #2 - at YOURBBS via QWKnet. - -/* End of MAILSRVR.DOC */ -- GitLab
