C * * the new BBoards channel * * * This is the channel that is used to handle Internet BBoard * distribution in an intelligent fashion. In order to run it, you * need the UCI BBoards facility installed. This requires the * establishment of a special login called ``bboards'', and the * getbbent() package. * * The idea is simple. Distribution lists get aliased to go through * this channel. Suppose that the relay (or site) using ch_bboards * subscribes to UNIX-WIZARDS. The maintainer of the list is given * the address ``dist-unix-wizards'' to send to for this relay and all * sites that it serves. The site manager then defines the following * alias in the aliases file: * * dist-unix-wizards: unix-wizards@dist-bboards * * This channel (and this channel alone) is then defined to serve the * ``dist-bboards'' host. When it gets invoked, the channel does two * things: First, if the relay itself subscribes to the BBoard (the * bb_file entry in the BBoards file is non-empty), then it delivers * the message to the file. Second, if other sites subscribe to the * BBoard, then ch_bboards will enter the message back into the queue * system using the ``bboards'' login as the sender. * * This achieves two goals: first, the incoming bandwidth of relays * is not degraded by many sites subscribing to the same BBoard; * second, if an address goes bad down the line, the relay's * ``bboards'' login gets the message back (not the originator). Since * the relay's PostMaster is assumed to monitor this mailbox, problems * can be found and corrected. * * Finally, ch_bboards can be run by a site that does not relay for * other sites. In this case, the bb_dist field is empty. * */ /* Unlike previous versions of ch_bboards, this version does not change * the contents of the headers of the message being re-distributed. * The following changes are made: * * Envelope: The failure address is changed to bboards@locname * Headers: Another Received: is added * * * The local copy going to the BBoard has two entries prepended to the * headers: * * BBoard-ID: n * BB-Posted: date/time * */ /* */ extern char logdfldir[]; extern struct ll_struct chanlog; struct ll_struct *logptr = &chanlog; char *dupfpath (); /* */ main (argc, argv) int argc; char **argv; { short retval; Chan * chanptr; ll_hdinit (logptr, "BB"); logptr -> ll_file = dupfpath (logptr -> ll_file, logdfldir); siginit (); signal (SIGINT, SIG_IGN); if ((chanptr = ch_nm2struct (*argv)) == (Chan *) NOTOK) err_abrt (RP_PARM, "unknown channel name '%s'", *argv); retval = ch_bboards (argc, argv, chanptr); ll_close (logptr); exit (retval); } /* */ ch_bboards (argc, argv, chanptr) int argc; char **argv; Chan * chanptr; { #ifdef DEBUG ll_log (logptr, LLOGBTR, "ch_bboards(argc=%d,*argv='%s')", argc, *argv); #endif if (rp_isbad (qu_init (argc, argv))) return RP_NO; if (rp_isbad (bb_init (chanptr))) return RP_NO; if (rp_isbad (qu2bb_send ())) return RP_NO; qu_end (OK); bb_end (OK); return RP_OK; } /* */ err_abrt (code, fmt, b, c, d) short code; char *fmt, *b, *c, *d; { char linebuf[LINESIZE]; qu_end (NOTOK); bb_end (NOTOK); sprintf (linebuf, "%s%s", "[abend: %s]", fmt); ll_log (logptr, LLOGFAT, linebuf, rp_valstr (code), b, c, d); ll_close (logptr); exit (code); }
