    5. Filtering
    
 
-
    Filters can be set for spots, announcements and WWV.  You will find the directories for these under /spider/filter.  You will find some example in the directories with the suffix .issue.  There are two types of filter, one for incoming information and one for outgoing information. Outgoing filters are in the form CALLSIGN.pl and incoming filters are in the form in_CALLSIGN.pl.  Filters can be set for both nodes and users.

Filters can be set for both nodes and users.
+
    
+
    All filters work in basically the same way.  There are several elements delimited by commas.
+There can be many lines in the filter and they are read from the top by the program.
+When writing a filter you need to think carefully about just what you want to achieve.  You
+are either going to write a filter to accept or to reject.
+Think of a filter as having 2 main elements.  For a reject filter, you would have a line
+or multiple lines rejecting the things you do not wish to receive and then a default
+line accepting everything else that is not included in the filter.  Likewise, for an
+accept filter, you would have a line or multiple lines accepting the things you wish
+to receive and a default line rejecting everthing else.
+
    
+
    In the example below, a user requires a filter that would only return SSB spots
+posted in Europe on the HF bands.  This is achieved by first rejecting the CW section 
+of each HF band and rejecting all of VHF, UHF etc based on frequency.
+Secondly, a filter rule is set based on CQ zones to only accept spots posted in
+Europe.  Lastly, a default filter rule is set to reject anything outside the filter.
+
    
+
    
+
    +$in = [

    6.5 Console.pl
+
    6.5 Forward.pl
+
    
+
+
    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)
+#
+
+package DXMsg;
+
+@forward = (
+'B',    'T',    'LOCAL',        'F',    [ qw(GB7MBC) ],
+'B',    'T',    'ALL',          'F',    [ qw(GB7BAA GB7ADX PA4AB-14) ],
+'B',    'T',    'UK',           'F',    [ qw(GB7BAA GB7ADX) ],

+);
+
    
+
    
+
    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
+
    
+
    6.6 Distribution lists
+
    
+
+
    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.
+
    
+
    
+
    +qw(GB7TLH GB7DJK GB7DXM GB7CDX GB7BPQ GB7DXN GB7MBC GB7MBC-6 GB7MDX
+   GB7NDX GB7SDX GB7TDX GB7UDX GB7YDX GB7ADX GB7BAA GB7DXA GB7DXH 
+   GB7DXK GB7DXI GB7DXS)
+
    
+
    
+
    Any mail sent to "sysop" would only be sent to the callsigns in this list.
+
    
+
    6.7 Console.pl
 
    
 
 
    In later versions of Spider a simple console program is provided for the sysop.  This has a type ahead buffer with line editing facilities and colour for spots, announces etc.
