MBSE BBS Setup - Edit Services.

Introduction.

Services are special mail accounts. Netmail addressed to one of these names will be handled according to the action that is selected. Current implemented actions are AreaMgr, FileMgr and Email. So if you name a service Areamgr and set the action to AreaMgr then an incoming netmail will be directed to the Areamgr function. If you define a service listserv and set the action to Email then and incoming netmail will be converted to email and send to listserv at your host.
If you should want to run some votemanager on your system you can do that by creating a service votemgr with the type set to email. You also need to setup a valid unix user votemgr so that there will be an existing mailbox. Then with some external scripts you can process all received messages.
