EchoAreaDefaults [-b <msgbase>] [Options]
EchoAreaDefaults -b Squish -a 2:280/1507 -g F -dupeCheck move -dupehistory 11 -p 14 2:280/1126
With this keyword you can specify settings that will be set for the
EchoArea
and LocalArea
definitions that follow. It makes
the echoarea definitions shorter. All echoarea settings can be used
except the areaname and path.
When you specify a different value in an echoarea definition, it overrules the default setting.
With the default from the example above, an echoarea definition could be:
EchoArea fidosoft.husky /var/spool/fido/msgb/fidosoft.husky -d "husky develpment" 2:280/6207 This will internally be expanded to: EchoArea fidosoft.husky /var/spool/fido/msgb/fidosoft.husky -d "husky develpment" -b Squish -a 2:280/1507 -g F -dupeCheck move -dupehistory 11 -p 14 2:280/1126 2:280/6207 |
Another example:
EchoArea evolution /var/spool/fido/msgb/evolution -d "about fantasies" -p 100 that will be expanded to: EchoArea evolution /var/spool/fido/msgb/evolution -d "about fantasies" -b Squish -a 2:280/1507 -g F -dupeCheck move -dupehistory 11 -p 100 2:280/1126 |
As you will notice, the default settings are combined with the additional settings in the EchoArea definition, and the messages are purged after 100 days instead of 14 (the default).
This statement can be repeated.
An EchoAreaDefults
setting is valid until a next
EchoAreaDefaults
setting of until a NetmailArea
definition. EchoAreaDefaults
can also be switched off with an
empty definition:
EchoAreaDefaults [OFF] |
The word 'OFF' is not needed but makes it more readable.
