(eek) here's a sample fido2int.ini file... - begin fido2int.ini [Receiving] ; your pop (incoming) mail server POPserver=pop3.myisp.net ; your pop (incoming) mail server username POPusername=mybbs ; your pop (incoming) mail server password POPpassword=password ; your gecho/frontend mailer inbound directory Inbound=D:\GECHO\INBOUND\ SaveEmail=D:\F2I\SAVE\ [Sending] ; your smtp (outgoing) mail server Host=smtp.myisp.net ; your reply address FromEmail=me@myisp.net ; your bbs name = your bbs name, duh From=your bbs name (FIDO2INT) ; this gets replaced by f2i, so don't mess with it... ;) Subject=FIDO2INT -> $FILENAME$ ($FILESIZE$ bytes) [Outgoing] DisableCheck OurZone=911 ; your gecho/frontend mailer netmail directory Netmail=D:\NETMAIL\ [Other] NetTimeOut=90 LogSize=64 [Redirect] SendPkt Redirect 911:1423/0 distortion@wireco.net - end fido2int.ini you can steal that, edit it to suit your needs and use it, but i suggest reading through the default fido2int.ini file because it may answer some of your questions on a few other things... --------- --- -- - >> section 3: setting up your bbs software --------- --- -- - - preface: the bbs is usually the easy part of the setup process, hopefully... i've provided a few different exmaples here, most of them should apply to pretty much any bbs soft in a generic sense... there are, however, a few bbs softwares which handle echomail really strangly and/or complexly... hmph. oh, and you should already know how to use your bbs software, so there won't be any specifics for getting around in them... note i've only provided bbs software commonly used by the underground scene, and ones that are still in use... i've simply referenced other help guides for some of them... - setting up mystic (uses JAM format) from your wfc screen hit "s" to go to the system config, then go to "f" (network config) and set your network address and origin line...

--------- --- -- - preface: this is a modified version of the same batch files used in section 4 for mystic, and can easily be changed to work with the renegade, or any other batch files for that matter... read the comments for explanations... there are many other ways to automate your internet mailer, the fido2int has it's own suggestions on how to automate, also internetrex, transx, and other mailers usually have some semi-built in way to automate themselfs, check their docs... note that i don't mention automating your traditional frontend mailer, why? because if you set them up correctly in the first place they should already be automated, that's what they're for... see section 6 for setup guides and things... - begin runbbs.bat - this file executes the bbs and takes care of events and outgoing mail... @echo off rem same as the runbbs included in mystic except for error levels 69 and 5. rem rem error level 5 means someone has written outgoing netmail, so when mystic rem exits with that errorlevel i have it goto my gecho directory, toss the rem mail out, and go back to the start rem rem error 69 is the definable errorlevel that mystic exits with when the rem event time is reached. mine is set to 9:00pm (est) and when it reaches rem that time it exits the dos window. (in win95 this also unloads the fossil rem stuff, which is quite esstential) ... rem rem i have another program, called netlaunch which is a windows util that rem lets you schedule events for connecting/disconnecting to the net and rem openning and closing programs. at 9:01 it connects to the net, and rem executes "domail.bat"... when that is done running it disconnects and rem and starts "runmail.bat" back up. -jp :start d: cd D:\MYSTIC\ mystic.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 if errorlevel 255 goto quit if errorlevel 69 goto domail if errorlevel 5 goto outmail if errorlevel 1 goto quit goto start :domail exit :outmail D: cd\gecho gecho scan goto start :quit - end runbbs.bat - begin domail.bat - this batch file is run from runbbs.bat when the event is executed. :START @ECHO OFF rem this is the file that is executed when netlaunch connects me to the net, rem the labels were here only for flexibility, and arn't actually used yet. rem rem first (under runf2i) it changes to the fido2int directory, and opens rem a new program (the win95 start command) the wait forces it to wait for rem the program to exit before continuing to run the rest of the batch file rem heh. the /auto commands makes it automatically send and recieve mail rem and the shutdown command makes it close when done. handy eh? rem rem next (under process) we switch to the gecho directory, toss all the new rem incoming email, and then execture a program (cci-1) that kills all the rem old crap f2i leaves behind. rem rem then, it exits. simple eh? -jp :RUNF2I D: CD\F2I START /WAIT FIDO2INT.EXE /AUTO /SHUTDOWN :PROCESS D: CD\GECHO GECHO TOSS CD\F2I\KILLER CCI-1 D:\NETMAIL\ :END EXIT - end domail.bat - begin runmail.bat - this file is executed by the netlaunch program after it disconnects from the internet. @echo off rem this batch file simply loads up my fossil driver, sets the ports and rem then changes to the primary directory and starts up node 1 (my dial up rem node) -jp d: cd\mt x00 cd\x00 xu lock:1:57600:8N1 set:1:57600:8n1 PORT:1:ON cd\mystic node1.bat - end runmail.bat --------- --- -- - >> section 6: misc general info... --------- --- -- - - file reference (guide to other help files) preface: since I havn't provider a lot of details, definitions, and help whatsoever for some systems, i've decided to give some general reviews and summaries of other help guides and help kits floating around out there. cybercrime international (cci) network has an ftp server filled to the brim with tons of this stuff at: ftp://ftp.ice.org/pub/othergroups/cybercrime/Setup_Info/ most of this info is specific to cci, but we are much like cci in many aspects so this shouldn't be a problem... ---- info on file located at: /Setup_Info/Allfix_File_Area_Auto-Adder/AADD121B.ZIP AUTOADD V1.21B Automatically updates your BBS with file areas auto-added by Allfix.

Here it is, *the* setup guide on setting up Internmail with Wildcat on a fido style echo mail network... lots of info and examples! ---- info on file located at: /Setup_Info/TransX_Setup_Kit/transx.faq no diz. notes: A little setup guide on how to setup Transx for another network (hypernet?) ... anyways, zeronet doesn't currently support transx, it's a internet mailer similar to fido2int... hopefully we will support it in the future. ---- info on file located at: /Setup_Info/TransX_Shareware_5-Node_Keygen/TXKEYGEN.ZIP Keygen for Trans-X. Amazing, ain't it? notes: Ditto... crack for Transx intermailer, but we don't currently support using transx, so don't worry about it for now... ---- info on file located at: /Setup_Info/Using_Areafix_to_connect_areas_via_your_hub/AREAFIX.TXT no diz. notes: A guide for setting up your allfix/filebone areas. We do not currently have a file backbone, but we might in the future, for now this file has no direct relevance to zeronet. ---- general stuff you might need to know... jack phlash does most of the technical stuff, any technical questions should be directed to him first... marlon brando does most of the guidelines, rules, info and other administration duties, questions concerning those should be directed towards him first. both are resonible equally for new policies/echos/rules/changes and new node validation. the easiest way to contact them is via email on their bbses or internet email. we suggest you limit posting to zeronet to users you know can handle the responsibility... for instense, on my bbs 20 (normal) sl users can read echomail, but only 50+ can post... the choice is yours, and ultimately you will be responsible for maintaining your systems users. technical stuff... jack phlash's bbs, distortion, is the main hub for the system. he is responsible for sending out and recieve mail. currently, mail is sent and received every day at 9:00am est and 9:00pm est. yours can obviously be any time. we don't do it more than twice a day yet, but we're planning on setting it up for more times per day... stay tuned to the announcements echo. the main hubs address is distortion@wireco.net the main hubs node is 911:1423/0... jack phlash's name is "jack phlash" obviously ;) there is currently no dial up hub available, however marlon brand0's board, black hole cafe, is in the process of setting it up. his node is 911:1773/0... marlon brando's name is "marlon brando"... there is no netmail area on zeronet. (yet) there is no filebone areas on zeronet. (yet) that, combined with the node list should be enough info to get you started on setting up your own programs. --------- --- -- - >> the end... --------- --- -- - - contacting us primary hq/hub: distortion - 1-423-913-3159 secondary hq/hub: black hole cafe - 1-773-404-1352 internet email: jp@demonic.net or m_brand0@darktech.org irc (efnet): dcc to phlash or m_brand0 (in #zeronet if online) zeronet website: http://www.demonic.net/zeronet -------------------------------------------------------- ---- --- -- - - - >> 0n helpguide v1.0 (9/9/99) - (c) zeronet (except for everything we stole) -------------------------------------------------------- ---- --- -- - - -
