    From Gord Hannah@1:17/23.1 to All on Saturday, January 04, 2003 15:30:09
    Hello All hope you are having a good day :-)!
    About: MsgPost

    I nee some help setting up Mpost, I have it setup so it posts as I want it to, but I cannot get the posts to go out to the world.

    OS/2 Version
    Mpost.cfg.


    Address: 1:17/23.1
    Origin: Marsh BBS (c), Dawson Creek, BC Canada
    Area: $h:\echo\(echoname)
    % Netmail: 1:17/23.0
    MsgType: Echomail
    To: All
    From: Gord Hannah
    Subj: (Subject Included)
    %%
    I suspect the following is my problem,
    % Attr: <c|f|h|d|k|p|r|u|l>
    % The 'Attr:' option enables setting of most of the generated
    % message(s) attributes. These include c,f,h,d,k,p,r,u, and l.
    % See the Document file for details.

    Attr: l

    %% I have no mpost.doc to refer to.
    Split: 6
    Charset: IBMPC

    % End of configuration file

    Any suggestions?

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

    We are a fine board trying to make it better.

    Hallo!

    I nee some help setting up Mpost, I have it setup so it posts as
    I want it to, but I cannot get the posts to go out to the world.

    You mean that you can see the mail with your message reader, but your tosser won't export it?

    % Attr: <c|f|h|d|k|p|r|u|l>
    % The 'Attr:' option enables setting of most of the
    generated
    % message(s) attributes. These include c,f,h,d,k,p,r,u,
    and l.
    % See the Document file for details.

    Attr: l

    %% I have no mpost.doc to refer to.

    This is:

    p - privat
    c - crash
    d - direct (does not work with all tossers)
    f - file attach (put file name in subject line)
    h - hold
    r - file request
    u - file update request
    l - *DELETE* the local flag (if "l" is not used, "loc" is set)


    I must admit that the use of the "l" flag is counterintuitive ... I myself only
    learned this right now when reading the source code ... ;-).

    If you just remove the "l" flag from your attribute line, all should work normally.

    Regards,
    Tobias.

    Yes that is what I mean..

    This is:

    p - privat
    l - *DELETE* the local flag (if "l" is not used, "loc" is set)

    Thanks I will put this in the config file.


    If you just remove the "l" flag from your attribute line, all should
    work normally.

    Will try it out and get back to you.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

    Hallo!

    Nope will not toss. Posts perfectly but will not toss to the
    world.

    Then please show me how the posted mail looks like in timed (with all kludges, please), and tell me what kind of tosser you are using.

    Regards,
    Tobias.
