Chapter 7 Maildrop Operation
J(log) Another command available only to the user, “J” will cause your Maildrop to send your DSP’s
MHEARD list. (This command isn’t available to you as the console operator since you can simply
enter
MHEARD
in the command mode to obtain the same list.) This is available in Packet mode only.
K(ill) n
“K n” deletes message number “ n ” from the Maildrop. As console operator, you can kill any message.
A user can kill only messages addressed to (or from) that station. The user may enter
KM
[(K)ill
(M)ine] to delete all of the messages that have been previously read.
L(ist)
...shows you, the console operator , a list of all active messages on the Maildrop. The list is preceded
by the following column header:
Msg# Size To From @ BBS Date Time Title
All active messages are listed under this line with the most recent message first. DAYTIME must be
set for the Date and Time information to appear. If
DAYTIME
isn’t set, periods will appear under the
Date and Time fields.
When a user enters the List command, the Maildrop lists only the messages that particular user is
allowed to read, including messages addressed to
ALL
and
QST
; messages to other users aren’t
displayed. The Maildrop also accepts the LM (List Mine) command from the user. This shows
messages addressed only to that particular user, not messages addressed as ALL , QST or Bulletins.
R(ead)
n This command displays the header and text of message number “ n ”. Messages are read by number, not
callsign. As console operator, you can read all messages; A user may read only messages addressed to
his callsign, or to
ALL , QST or Bulletins.
The Maildrop accepts the RM (Read Mine) command from users. This command acts only on
messages addressed to the user, not messages addressed to
ALL
or
QST
. RM displays only messages
that haven’t been read.
S(end) The
S ( callsign ) command notifies the Maildrop that either you as console operator, or the user, wants
to send a message.
With
3RDPARTY ON
, the connected station can leave a message for another station or to you.
However, if you have 3RDPARTY OFF , then the calling station will see:
*** No 3rd party traffic

V(ersion)

command does.
