Mail2BBS is a package that enables sendmail to write an import file.
It's easy to configure and has install and uninstall utilities.
Its features include the handling of multiple 'To:' lines and 'CC:'
lines. It has
a callsign checking routine that quietly drops any message from someone
not
using a callsign on the 'From:' line. There is a master translate.from
file
that goes in the /usr/local/etc/ax25 or /etc/ax25 directory that
converts the
the From line to a callsign at the home bbs listed on the same line in
order
to prevent an unwanted change to the white pages. There is also a
~/.translate.from so users can configure their own mail. There are
'T:' lines in the message so the original senders information is
retained.
The message type is detected by checking the who the message it sent to
and
where it is send. If the 'To' field and the portion of the 'atbbs'
field
left of the dot (if there's a dot) are both callsigns then it's a
personal.
All other messages are considered to be bulletins.
It appears to install and function correctly on Slackware 4.0 and Redhat
6.0.
This is how a message sent from Netscape's mailer looks when read on a
FBB bbs.
