ftoss(1)

NAME
ftoss - the FEddi FIDO-Tosser

SYNOPSIS
ftoss [--config|-c FILE] [--quiet|-q]

DESCRIPTION
ftoss searchs the Binkley inbound for .pkt and .[DAYOFWEEK]# packets, unpacks later ones and moves the messages into the proper areas.

ftoss creates new areas if necessary. Route information is automatically derived from the packet - header.

Status information goes to the LogFile and to STDERR.

ftoss returns 0 if no error occured, 1-99 idicates error. An errorlevel of 100 or more indicates that something was tossed (and that there was no error).

TOSSPATH
The TOSSPATH file redirects or copies selected messages while tossing to other areas. A line in tosspath consists of the following (nonoptional) parts:

[move|copy]
    copy or move the message

[f|t|s|F|T|S]SEPsearchstringSEP
    look for which string in what headerline (f==from, t==to, s==subject ; lowercase==ignore case). Searchstring is a 'grep -E'-syntax regex (please look into grep manpage and consult regex-info package). SEP is a variable seperator (the first must be the same as the last). Note that this character can not be used within the searchstring (for obvious reason).

AREANAME
    where to copy|move the message

[FROMAREA]
    only messages with this original area (optional).

The lines will be processed sequentially and the first match will be executed (and the following IGNORED!).
