StarterPak/!Newsbase/Docs/Filters

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

-------

This lets you set up some simple filters to act on incoming news and mail.
You can apply one of several actions to messages or articles if they meet
certain conditions.

To set a filter, click on "New", and fill in fields describing the type,
condition, and action.

Type can take 4 values: Unset, News, Mail, and Any. This makes the filter
apply to news only, mail only, or both mail and news.

Conditions can act on several values:

To              (To: header)
From,           (From: header)
Newsgroups      (Newsgroups: header)
Subject         (Subject: header)
Reply To        (Reply-To: header)
Precedence      (Precedence: header - useful for mailing lists)
Envelope        (the actual recipient username of a message, as opposed to
                 those found in any header fields)

Click MENU and select the condition wanted, then fill in the string
to be matched in the writable icon. This is a case-insensitive substring
match, so a condition of "From allan" would be triggered by a mail message
from "ALLAN@mnhep.hep.umn.edu". The character "*" can be used as a
wildcard to match any 1 or more characters. Up to 3 conditions can be linked
together using AND or OR logic to trigger a single filter.

Finally, enter the action which should be taken. This can be one of "Junk",
"Kill", "Submit" or (for mail only) "Redirect". Again, you select the action
type from a menu. Junk and Kill are complete in themselves - with Junk, the
article/message is redirected to either "junk" or "Email.postmaster"; while
"Kill" dumps the article/message altogether. "Redirect" should be given the
email group or folder to which the mail message should be delivered.

When the filter is entered, click on "Set".

Several simple substitutions can be made in the Action parameters. These can
be:
%u      username message is destinied for ("news" for news)
%t      to field
%f      from field
%r      reply-to field
%%      % (literal)

The Redirect filter can redirect mail to more than one destination group. If
more than one is specified, they should be separated by spaces. In addition,
if the first "group" is "+", then the article/message is saved to the
specified groups in addition to its normal ones, instead of replacing them.

The Submit filter saves the article as a temporary file, and runs an
external program with the filename as a parameter. This can be used to pass
messages to external programs such as archivers, ftpmail or mailing list
servers. The message/article is also saved as normal to the appropriate
group(s).

The Submit filter can also take a number of optional flags. These should be
placed in advance of the command itself.

-Mx     program requires x kilobytes memory to run
-K      kill message after processing
-J      junk article after processing
-D      delete temporary file after starting external program

It is also worth mentioning here that external programs can queue files
for posting or mailing by depositing them, with complete headers, in one
of the directories <NewsBase$Data>.spool.news or
<NewsBase$Data>.spool.mail. This enables simple programs to be activated
by filters and send news or mail in response. This should suit simple
non-wimp ftpmail or listserver programs.

News filters may have an adverse effect on debatching speed.
