Mail system setup

The options are located under the Mail tag in the Options window.
 

 The client supports the protocols SMTP, UUCP and FTN. It is important to note that for UUPC a separate low level processing program is called. In addition, it is possible to call a user-defined mailer for mail sending.

For all the protocols, one must fill the following fields:
 
EMail/FTN addres
 Your full E-mail or FTN address. 

E.g.: 2:5054/8.70 or galaxy@your.domain
User Name
 Your name, or your system's name for FTN networks

e.g.: <Sysop> or Galaxy Plus Gamer
GalaxyServerAddress
 Galaxy server's address

e.g.: galaxy@pbem.msk.su or, for FTN 2:505

SMTP settings:
 
SMTP server
 ip address of your SMTP server

UUPC settings:
 
RMail
 Full path to rmail.exe (included in the UUPC package), and the command line parameters. It is possible to define string substitutes. The descriptions of such lines can be found below. 

e.g.: c:\uupc\rmail.exe –f $from $to

If a user-defined program is used for sending mail, this field should contain the command.

For example, if TheBat! is used: 

e:\tool.win\bat\thebat.exe /MAILTO=$TO;S=$Subject;TEXT=$file;SEND

FTN settings:
 
MailDirectory
 Full path to your mail directory. Currently, only MSG format is supported. 

The field Subject contains the subject for the orders, the following substitutions are possible:
 
$username
 Your name (for SMTP,UUPC, everything to the left of @, for FTN the full name)
$from
 your address
$to
 Server's address
$password
 Password
$race
 Your race's name

For the field RMail, in case a user-defined program is used for sending mail, one can use all the substitutions allowed for the Subject field, and also the following ones:
 
$file
 File with the message body
$subject
