Hello All!
Well, the mbse current programmers:

I have a wee need -


Do you know of a software add-on etc that runs under Linux (or any if source available) that can read a file of banned posters by Echo area by name and/or address that can be run while tossing?

Under Mbse I have a space for pktdate which I am currently using although I doubt has any real purpose these days that can be replaced with such a tool.

I am thinking of a file that it would read holding three elements:

EchoArea Name NetAddress e.g.,

FIDO_SYSOP David Bloggs 3:1234/9876
FIDO_SYSOP * 3:1234/9876
* * 3:1234/9876

Where '*' is global for any.


Or is there some other way of doing so.

Trying to find a way of removing Troll traffic from one or more echo areas.

Hello Vince,
there is a particular Fido area which is now "land of troll" for your particular request I think that you can elaborate something using sed and awk with a cycle of for before toss the packet.

Doing twit filtering in this manner forces it upon all of your downlinks as well. A better solution is to configure twit filtering in your editor. GoldED has this ability. Another possibility is a program that reads your message bases and deletes the twit messages there. The big difference being that this way passes all of the messages on to your downlinks.

some how i smell a new feature for the mbse BBS package... a feature in which there's a per user twit filter capability... possibility one that mimics the capabilities in GoldED+ ;)

If you feed other's then you shouldn't change the packets that get sent on.

Another way is to use the 18.2 section to run a script. I do that here, and all it does is copy the
files from the inbound to a backup dir and then process the mail:

===cut===
#!/bin/sh
cp /opt/mbse/var/inbound/* /opt/mbse/mail-backup
export MBSE_ROOT=/opt/mbse; $MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbfido toss tic -quiet
===cut===


If you use golded for your reader then this will work in your golded config file:

===cut===
TwitName David Drummond
TwitMode Skip
TwitTo Yes
TwitFrom Yes

TwitName Lee Lofaso
TwitMode Skip
TwitTo Yes
TwitFrom Yes

TwitName Tim Richardson
TwitMode Skip
TwitTo Yes
TwitFrom Yes
===cut===
