- AreaFix accepts several commands that will allow you to change your
- echomail areas and receive information, or messages from this site. You
- will first have to send a normal FidoNet mail message to this site
- addressed to 'areafix'. If you are requesting file echo's, address your
- message to 'raid'.
-
- If this site requires a password from you, enter it for the subject. As a
- shortcut, you can also append commands to the subject line allowing
- areafix to process them without entering any message body. To pass commands
- with the subject line, use the dash '-' identifier, following by the first
- letter of the command to be used.
-
- The message body can contain a command, or an echo_name you wish to add or
- remove. + and - denote adding and dropping areas, respectively. When
- adding an echo, you do not have to add the '+', as areafix will default to
- "ADD" when a '+' is not found.
-
- Each command must be placed on its own line. Areafix ends when it finds
- '---' as a command or the end of letter is reached. The following commands
- apply:
-
-
- AREANAME A valid area name to add (i.e. AMIGA_SYSOP)
- -AREANAME A valid area name to remove (i.e. -AMIGA_SYSOP)
- +AREANAME A valid area name to add (i.e. +AMIGA_SYSOP)
- %HELP (-H) Would send this help file
- %QUERY (-Q) A list of only the echos you receive
- %LIST (-L) A list of the available echos you can receive
- %CONFIG (-C) A list of your system configuration
- %UNLINKED (-U) A list of all areas not fed to you
- %RESCAN Messages in your export areas will be re-sent to you
- Rescan supports several arguments:
-
- %RESCAN - rescans all messages in your areas
- %RESCAN YESTERDAY - rescans all messages sent since yesterday
- %RESCAN TODAY - rescans all messages sent since today
- %RESCAN MONDAY - rescans all messages sent since monday
