Base Directory is now fixed. Streams are shared between BBS and Chat Server, so must be specified, even if you only want to run the Chat Server.
If you want to use the BBS you must specify Callsign, Sysop Call, HRoute and BBS Appl Number.
Enable UI System activates FBB compatible UI broadcasting of Message Headers. Clicking "Config UI Ports and Digis" will
bring up a screen in which you can select on which ports UI messages should be sent, and define a digi path if needed.
If you want to access the BBS using a standard email client (such as Outlook), specify POP3 and SMTP Ports.
See here for further information.
If you want to forward messages from your local users to Internet email addresses, all fields must be completed.
otherwise just leave "Enable Internet Gateway" unchecked.
See here for more information on the ISP Gateway.
If you want to use Chat you must specify Chat Appl Number.
If you want to link to other BPQ Chat Nodes, complete "Nodes to Link to".
Normally you should not link to more than two or three other Chat nodes.
You must ensure that the node you are linking to also defines you as a "Nodes to Link to",
otherwise a lot of useless traffic will be generated as one end repeatedly tries to bring up the
link and the other closes it.
Here you define the lifetimes of messages and set various options for the Housekeeping functions.
Maintenance is run at Maintenance Time every day.
Messages will be renumbered when Max Message Number is reached.
BIDs will be deleted after BID Lifetime. Any message that is over BID Lifetime old when it is received will be held.
Log Files are deleted after Log File Lifetime days. If the "Delete Log And Message Files to Recycle Bin" flag is set, files will go to the Recycle Bin.
If the "Send Non-delivery Notifications" flag is set, a message will be sent to the originator of a P or T message that is in state "N" when it is killed by Housekeeping.
Normally a summary of the Housekeeping operation is mailed to SYSOP. This can be stopped by setting the "Supress Mailing of Housekeeping Results" flag.
If the "Save Registry" flag is set, the BPQMailChat configuration from the Registry is saved each time Housekeeping is run.
Here you define the messages sent to users when they log in.
Here you define rules to filter what messages you accept onto the BBS.
You can specify calls to match the From, To or AT fields of the message, and matching messages can be rejected, or accepted, but held.
Here you can set up Users, define a user as a BBS, and set Paswords for the POP3 and SMTP servers.
The "Poll RMS" flag is used to enable collection of messages from the Winlink 2000 system. See here for details.
RMS Express can be used as a client to the BBS, but there are some issues to watch. See "Using RMS Express" for details.
