FREE ECHO MAIL
|

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
|

|
||
Brought to you by,
|
||
|
||
The Crystal Palace 818-765-2171 & 310-472-2598
|
||
|
||
|
||
Rule #1:
|
||
You MUST call for mail at least once a week!
|
||
|
||
Having said that,
|
||
|
||
We would like to offer FREE Rushnet Echo Mail to any SYSOP that
|
||
wishes to participate.
|
||
|
||
Shouldn't your users have the ability to communicate with the
|
||
world?
|
||
|
||
It's very simple to setup and implement. In most cases, you can
|
||
have everything setup and running withing 5 to 10 minutes
|
||
depending on the conferences that you wish to add. The only time
|
||
spent then will be setting up the additional conferences that
|
||
you wish to echo.
|
||
|
||
We would prefer you use the BBS for any questions.

[GETTING STARTED]
|
||
|
||
We have tried to make getting set up in RUSHNET fairly simple.
|
||
First read TNET.DOC. This will help you become familiar with
|
||
TNET. Once you have acquainted yourself with TNET you are now
|
||
ready to tackle the configuration file which is named
|
||
LIGHTNET.CFG. We have tried to take some of the pain out of
|
||
setting this up for you. RUSHNET.CFG has already been set up to
|
||
match our message base areas, all you need to do is change the
|
||
default settings so that the messages will go where you want
|
||
them placed in your BBS system. You will notice these by the
|
||
parenthesis out to the side of the areas that need changing.
|
||
Once you have made these changes you should just about be ready
|
||
to make your first mail run with our system.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[FIRST LOGON]
|
||
On your first call, simply leave a comment to SYSOP requesting the
|
||
upgrade to NET-STATUS. You will be validated within 48 hours.
|
||
Once you are connected with the HUB go to the "Message
|
||
Menu" area, select D to take you into our TomCat Mail program.
|
||
Once you are in TomCat you will need to select which conferences
|
||
you wish to echo. You can do this by selecting [C] to configure
|
||
TomCat, then select each conference you wish to open. When you
|
||
have finished with your selections and return to main menu of
|
||
TomCat you will be ready for your first mail run. Type [D] to
|
||
start you mail download. Suggestions: Don't pick any local confer-
|
||
ences such as Private Mail or Comments to Sysop. Exclude the new
|
||
files search and new Bulletins. Set your attachments to 300k. You
|
||
find its much easier to select conferences OUTSIDE Tomcat from
|
||
the Message Menu.
|
||
|
||
By using an "!" before your BBS name will allow you to bypass all
|
||
initial welcome screens and take you directly to the Message Menu.
|
||
(Fast login will be enabled after validation).
|
||
Example: First Name Last Name Password
|
||
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
|
||
!John Doe Password
|
||
|
||
|
||
[MAIL PACKET IMPORT]
|
||
|
||
Now you have downloaded your first mail packet and are ready to
|
||
import them into your own BBS system. To get TNET to import
|
||
messages into your database type [ TNET IMPORT RUSHNET ] This
|
||
will start the import process into your BBS system. If all goes
|
||
well it will place the mail into the message areas you assigned
|
||
in the RUSHNET.CFG file.
|
||
|
||
Make sure TNET.EXE and RUSHNET.CFG are in your BBS's Home
|
||
Directory.
|
||
|
||
Example: C:\WC30 : C:\WILDCAT : Etc....
|
||
|
||
[MAIL PACKET EXPORT]
|
||
|
||
This is a very crucial and important step to keep duplicate
|
||
messages from being sent into the HUB system [ CRYSTAL PALACE].
|
||
When you are ready to upload replies to us please be sure to
|
||
export your mail first. To export your mail packet from your
|
||
system type [ TNET EXPORT RUSHNET ]. Then call the BBS with
|
||
whom you are echoing mail with. After you have uploaded your
|
||
replies then proceed with your download of the new mail packet.
|
||
|
||
* RUSHNET and RUSHNET.CFG can be different if you are echoing
|
||
from another BBS system.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[RENUMBERING MESSAGE BASE]
|
||
|
||
Since we all have a need to renumber our message bases from time
|
||
to time it is very important that we reset our message pointers
|
||
to prevent duplicates being re-uploaded to the host system. You
|
||
can do this after you have renumbered your messages by typing
|
||
TNET HIGH RUSHNET. This will set the pointers to the last
|
||
message that you have in your system.This should keep duplicates
|
||
from occurring.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[DUPLICATES]
|
||
|
||
As many of you have found out duplicate mail is a pain in the
|
||
#$%. Not only does it cost us LD charges but causes the system
|
||
operator some grief in trying to eliminate the duplicated
|
||
messages. DUPCHK is a program that checks for duplicate messages
|
||
and either places them in the wastebasket or kills them. You can
|
||
specify how you want this done by the command line.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ALIASES]
|
||
|
||
Some of you may have a BBS that uses Alias's as a way for your
|
||
users to keep their annonimity. With the new release of Wildcat
|
||
3.0 and it's support for using alias's we will only allow
|
||
conferences that are stated as being alias specific. Please be
|
||
sure that if you use alias's that they do not enter our regular
|
||
user message base.
|
||
|
||
We hope that this file will help you in setting up RUSHNET. We
|
||
have tried to keeps things as simple as possible and hope to
|
||
have a trouble free mail network. With your help we can achieve
|
||
this goal. We look forward to sharing some interesting chat with
|
||
you and all of your users. Let's make RUSHNET into one of the
|
||
best mail networks there is. If you have questions concerning
|
||
RUSHNET you can contact me by calling:

|
||

|
||
interested in hosting a conference we would really appreciate
|
||
your help in doing so.
