• QWK Mail

    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Sat Dec 8 15:42:57 2018
    Hey

    I've been working on QWK mail support today, got downloading implemented,
    and will work on uploading another day (or maybe later today).

    There are some additions to your bbs.ini and message base ini files (I implemented that a while ago so you can safely work on adding them in if
    you want)

    The most important one is the QWK Conference for each message base... So
    for example:

    [General]
    Read Sec Level = 10
    Write Sec Level = 10
    Path = /home/andrew/MagickaBBS/msgs/general
    Type = Local
    QWK Name = GENERAL
    QWK Conference = 100

    Is what my general area looks like in the localmail.ini

    You'll have to add a message conference number to every message base,
    otherwise it won't be available for qwk download.

    The other one is the BBS location, it's used in the CONTROL.DAT, but it
    isn't required, if it's not there, your BBS will be from "Somewhere, The
    World"

    BBS Location = Toowoomba, QLD

    is mine and it comes under the [main] section.

    At present this is only very basic QWK support, no QWK-E yet.

    Tweaking my ini files so QWK will work when it's available.

    Is that the main section in bbs.ini, or the main section in each of the
    message board ini files?

    Thanks!

    The main section of the bbs.ini
