- -DXSpider deals seamlessly with standard AK1A type mail. It supports both -personal and bulletin mail and the sysop has additional commands to ensure -that mail gets to where it is meant. DXSpider will send mail almost -immediately, assuming that the target is on line. However, only one -mail message is dealt with at any one time. If a mail message is already -being sent or recieved, then the new message will be queued until it has -finished. -
The cluster mail is automatically deleted after 30 days unless the sysop -sets the "keep" flag using the msg command. -
-
From version 1.49 DXSpider has some additional security features. These +are not by any means meant to be exhaustive, however they do afford some +security against piracy. These two new features can be used independently +of each other or in concert to tighten the security.
-Personal mail is sent using the sp command. This is actually the -default method of sending mail and so a simple s for send will do. -A full list of the send commands and options is in the command set -section, so I will not duplicate them here. -
-
Bulletin mail is sent by using the sb command. This is one of the -most common mistakes users make when sending mail. They send a bulletin -mail with s or sp instead of sb and of course -the message never leaves the cluster. This can be rectified by the sysop -by using the msg command. -
-
Bulletin addresses can be set using the Forward.pl file. -
-
DXSpider receives all and any mail sent to it without any alterations needed -in files. Because personal and bulletin mail are treated differently, there -is no need for a list of accepted bulletin addresses. It is necessary, however, -to tell the program which links accept which bulletins. For example, it is -pointless sending bulletins addresses to "UK" to any links other than UK -ones. The file that does this is called forward.pl and lives in /spider/msg. -At default, like other spider files it is named forward.pl.issue. Rename it -to forward.pl and edit the file to match your requirements. -The format is below ... +
The basic principle of registration is simple. If a user is not registered +by the sysop, then they have read-only access to the cluster. The only +thing they can actually send is a talk or a message to the sysop. In +order for them to be able to spot, send announces or talks etc the sysop +must register them with the set/register command, like this ...

-# this is an example message forwarding file for the system
-#
-# The format of each line is as follows
-#
-# type to/from/at pattern action destinations
-# P/B/F T/F/A regex I/F [ call [, call ...] ]
-#
-# type: P - private, B - bulletin (msg), F - file (ak1a bull)
-# to/from/at: T - to field, F - from field, A - home bbs, O - origin
-# pattern: a perl regex on the field requested
-# action: I - ignore, F - forward
-# destinations: a reference to an array containing node callsigns
-#
-# if it is non-private and isn't in here then it won't get forwarded
-#
-# Currently only type B msgs are affected by this code.
-#
-# The list is read from the top down, the first pattern that matches
-# causes the action to be taken.
-#
-# The pattern can be undef or 0 in which case it will always be selected
-# for the action specified
-#
-# If the BBS list is undef or 0 and the action is 'F' (and it matches the
-# pattern) then it will always be forwarded to every node that doesn't have
-# it (I strongly recommend you don't use this unless you REALLY mean it, if
-# you allow a new link with this on EVERY bull will be forwarded immediately
-# on first connection)

- MSG NOPRrivate <msgno> - unset private flag

- MSG REad <msgno> - mark message as read
- MSG QUeue - queue any outstanding bulletins
- MSG QUeue 1 - queue any outstanding private messages

Any users that are not registered will now see the motd_nor file rather +than the motd file as discussed in the Information, files and useful +programs section.

At the moment, passwords only affect users who login to a DXSpider +cluster node via telnet.

Using passwords in this way means that the user has a +choice on whether to have a password or not. To force the use of +passwords at login, issue the command ...

Of course, if you do this you will have to assign a password for each of +your users. If you were asking them to register, it is anticipated that +you would ask them to send you a message both to ask to be registered and +to give you the password they wish to use.
-Distribution lists are simply a list of users to send certain types of -mail to. An example of this is mail you only wish to send to other -sysops. In /spider/msg there is a directory called distro. You -put any distibution lists in here. For example, here is a file called -SYSOP.pl that caters for the UK sysops. +
Should a user forget their password, it can be reset by the sysop by +first removing the existing password and then setting a new one like so ...

Spider provides a simple BBS interface. No input is required from the sysop -of the cluster at all. The BBS simply sets the cluster as a BBS and pushes -any required mail to the cluster. No mail can flow from Spider to the BBS, -the interface is one-way. -
-
Please be careful not to flood the cluster network with unnecessary mail. -Make sure you only send mail to the clusters that want it by using the -Forward.pl file very carefully. -
