DOOR.ID Many maildoors now produce (and readers use) a file called Door.Id that was developed by Greg Hewgill. It is intended to give the reader information on the capabilities of the door that produced the packet (and presumably will process the *.REP produced). It is a straight text file with the following format. Each line is in the format ControlWord space equals space value. DOOR = This is the name of the door that created the QWK packet, eg. = Tomcat. VERSION = This is the version number of the door that created the packet, eg. = 2.9. SYSTEM = This is the underlying BBS system type and version, eg. = Wildcat 2.55. CONTROLNAME = This is the name to which the reader should send control messages, eg. = TOMCAT. CONTROLTYPE = This can be one of ADD, DROP, or REQUEST (or others). ADD and DROP are pretty obvious (they work as in Markmail), and REQUEST is for use with BBS systems that support file attachments. Try out SLMR with CONTROLTYPE = REQUEST and use the Q function. RECEIPT This flag indicates that the door/BBS is capable of return receipts when a message is received. If the first three letters of the subject are RRR, then the door should strip the RRR and set the 'return-receipt- requested' flag on the corresponding message.
