NAME
axgetmail - automaticaly download messages from the F6FBB BBS
SYNOPSIS
axgetmail <bbs_callsign>
DESCRIPTION
Axgetmail scans the message list of specified BBS and downloads all new messages that have a destination which belongs to the list of interesting bulletins. There can be a list for each BBS.
Bulletins are stored into
/var/ax25/mail/<bbs_callsign>/<message_number>
For downloading personal mail each callsign we want download mail for
must have an entry in the
/etc/ax25/logins
file to enable axgetmail to determine the user whose home directory will be
used for storing personal messages. The
HOMEDIR
argument in
axgetmail.conf
specifies the path relative to user's home directory where the personal mail
will be stored. Personal messages are stored into the directory
$HOME/HOMEDIR/<bbs_callsign>
If the subdirectory for any BBS doesn't exist, no personal mail is
downloaded for such user from the BBS.
Axgetmail can be run automaticaly by ulistd utility. See ulistd(8).
AUTHORIZATION
After the succesful connect to the BBS axgetmail attempts to execute the script /var/ax25/auth_agent and redirects its stdin and stdout to the BBS. The BBS callsign is passed as the first command line argument. The script should take actions needed for user's authorization to the BBS. When the script execution fails, axgetmail continues downloading the messages without authorization.
