Setting up Echomail nets with your Renegade BBS (page 2)

Section 3: setting up Fido2Int


Download and install Fido2Int to C:\FIDO2INT. The only configuration you have to do to fido2int is just setting up your C:\FIDO2INT\FIDO2INT.INI. Here is a sample FIDO2INT.INI to use. Make sure you backup your old FIDO2INT.INI first! 

; == BEGINNING OF CONFIGURATION ==
; Your POP account details is needed for retrieving your mail.
POPserver=mail.domain.com
POPusername=username
POPpassword=password
; Inbound directory (where packets go when they are received)
Inbound=D:\GECHO\INBOUND
SaveEmail=C:\FIDO2INT\SAVE\

[Sending]
; your SMTP server
Host=relay.pair.com
; Email address message will be sent from. 
FromEmail=sloop@meltdown.nu
; The From name in all outgoing messages. (leave the FIDO2INT after it)
From=sloop (FIDO2INT)
; Subject of your message. $FILENAME$ and $FILESIZE will be
; replaced with the actual values.
Subject=FIDO2INT -> $FILENAME$ ($FILESIZE$ bytes)
;
[Outgoing]

;
; Your zone number. If your nodenumber is 66:254/261, then your Zone is 66
OurZone=66
; netmail path for outgoing netmail messages 
Netmail=D:\GECHO\NETMAIL

Redirect    66:100/0           cybercrime@bellsouth.net           CyberCrime!

Section 4: batch files


I will present 2 batch files here, MAILIN.BAT and MAILOUT.BAT. MAILIN.BAT is what you will use to import echomail packets into your message areas. MAILOUT will scan the message areas and export them to echomail packets for Fido2Int to send.

At this time you should make sure you have RENEMAIL.EXE in your main renegade directory. Both of these batch files are setup to use D:\RG as your renegade directory and D:\GECHO\ as your GEcho directory.
MAILIN.BAT:


D:
cd\GECHO
gecho toss
cd\RG
renemail -t
renemail -p

Run this batch file after you receive echomail packets from Fido2Int.

MAILOUT.BAT:


D:
cd\RG
renemail -s
cd\GECHO
gecho scan
cd\RG
renemail -p

Run this batch file after messages are posted in Renegade to be sent by Fido2int.
After you have a basic understanding of what these batch files do, you will be able to make your own more effecient batch file system to run fido2int in conjunction with these batch files, and in conjunction with renegade.
