- -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.
- -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 ...

-#
-# 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)

-Simply insert a bulletin address and state in the brackets where you wish -that mail to go. For example, you can see here that mail sent to "UK" will -only be sent to the UK links and not to PA4AB-14.
- -To force the cluster to reread the file use load/forward
- -NB: If a user tries to send mail to a bulletin address that does not exist -in this file, they will get an error.
- -The msg command is a very powerful and flexible tool for the -sysop. It allows the sysop to alter to and from fields and make other -changes to manage the cluster mail.
-Here is a full list of the various options ...

- MSG TO <msgno> <call> - change TO callsign to <call>
- MSG FRom <msgno> <call> - change FROM callsign to <call>
- MSG PRrivate <msgno> - set private flag
- MSG NOPRrivate <msgno> - unset private flag
- MSG RR <msgno> - set RR flag
- MSG NORR <msgno> - unset RR flag
- MSG KEep <msgno> - set the keep flag (message won't be deleted ever)
- MSG NOKEep <msgno> - unset the keep flag
- MSG SUbject <msgno> <new> - change the subject to <new>
- MSG WAittime <msgno> - remove any waiting time for this message

-These commands are simply typed from within the cluster as the sysop user.
- -You can check on a message from within the cluster by using the command -stat/msg. This will give you additional information on the -message number including which nodes have received it, which node it -was received from and when etc. Here is an example of the output of -the command ...

-This is described in the section on Other filters so I will not -duplicate it here.
- -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.

-Any mail sent to "sysop" would only be sent to the callsigns in this list.
- -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.
