Richard continues his Toolbox series with a further look at
Group mail. An interesting idea which could have benefits
for Fidonet.
A look also in this issue at the new "WWW" domains.. Something
we need, or not??

XXX Sites Hit Domain Registrars - Is ICANN Running The
'New Protection Racket' of 2011?
By Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net
I'm sure you remember the protection rackets of old..
Some toughs visit the local mom and pop shop, and tell the
owners, "Look, this is a bad neighborhood.. If you don't
purchase our protection service, your store will surely
fall victim to thievery, and worse."
Well, how insane is it that in this day and age we are
confronted by the same type threats.. but not by thugs, but
by a respected internet service, ICANN, when they decided
to introduce the .WWW domains.
According to a suit filed in Federal and California courts,
ICANN and ICM's offering was simply a money making
opportunity - and the only thing companies get for paying
these high fees (around $150.00 on average) is protection
from the potential harm created due to ICANN and ICM’s own
actions.
Here's one take on ICANN's www site offerings:
http://tinyurl.com/7rs4sgz
"ICANN gave the .xxx domain its official approval earlier
this year. The organization also put ICM in charge of
managing the domain and working with 50 registrars around
the world to ensure they're offering the sites to
prospective buyers."
How nice of ICANN.. (not!)
As a number others have stated, I can't help but view all
this as a modern-day 1920's style protection racket,
fostered by ICANN ...
What would a company do say, like IBM if IBM dot WWW
suddenly appears on the web? IBM would have to make sure
it bought out the original registrar, I'd think.. most
likely for a hefty sum.
And it's not like ICANN and the ICM registry didn't think
of all of this from the start.. even my own silly domain
at filegate.net, which I purchased from NetWork Solutions,
has offered me the "protection" of registering filegate.XXX
.. eh, you know.. just in case. Think of how many
victims there could be in this entire situation..
sickening!
No, we don't need this..The only thing supporting these www
domain extensions does is to force various businesses to
register their own www site to preclude others from doing
so..

The Old School Toolbox
By Richard Webb, 1:116/901
More about group
For those more interested in this topic a good start is Jack
Decker's tutorial on adding group to a binkleyterm confmail system,
published in Fidonews volume 6 issue 8. Confmail is one of those
products no longer seen in Fidonet, but a lot of the information
contained in that article is germane to using groupmail with your
echomail processor of choice in a binkley style environment.
There are still some assumptions made then which may not be valid
now however. One of the most problematic is that you won't run
with a bad messages area. Many of us who use processes associated
with areafix that automatically link and unlink echoes are not able
to kill off our bad messages areas, because our processes later
toss messages from the bad area to the appropriate echomail area if
received from an uplink given permission to create new areas.
However, since you probably would unpack echomail and netmail
archives before processing groups then those messages would end up
in your bad area, instead of in your netmail area where group would
find them.
When giving further study to Jack's discussion of the topic I find
that the best approach may be to have a look at group and its
operation with an eye toward a total rewrite which would resolve
some of the biggest gotchas I've discussed in this and previous
articles. One fix would be to point the group processor at the
bad messages area, which would probably necessitate using *.msg
format for your bad area.
Is it worth the effort? In my opinion it is. Note our editor's
discussion recently of some of the leading lights in Fidonet
development who are active on facebook and their discussion of
adding such capabilities as message threading, offline reader
capability and all this other stuff we take for granted here in
Fidonet. Adding a modern group capability would give these folks
just what they seek, no seen-by lines needed, and none of the
drawbacks as seen from a forum moderator's point of view that are
inherent in echomail. In other words, filter that twit before the
flame war starts, and not after it's a full blown conflagration and
you have to do the dreaded feed cut shuffle. For those web forum
users who don't like the interface, web forum moderators could
steer those users to systems offering telnet, web or even nntp
access to their forum. They get the "we don't do java" and "we
want our threading and offline capability" users they want, Fido
gets valuable forums.
So, if you're looking for a coding project that would offer some
real potential to Fidonet, and you're looking for a challenge have
a look at Jack Decker's articles pointed to above in the Fidonews,
find somebody who has group from system enhancement associates
still in their file base, download it, and have a look. I'd be
willing to bet money that the thing isn't y2k friendly either.
Again let's look at some of the things I've discussed previously
that really need an update.
First and foremost, nobody uses arc as their archiver of choice
these days, and if they do, chances are good they've got pkpak.
Group was hard coded to use the SEA product, of course.
Few know what a config.dog is either, sure, it's just a text file,
but that might need to be changed.
For some folks such as myself there is no areas.bbs either. Squish
which I use doesn't require one. It will read it if your bbs
package of choice uses it, but Maximus uses msgarea.ctl, and the
formats are quite different.
The other stumbling block for binkd systems is no file update
request mechanism, but with binkd's mailbox subdirectory system
this can easily be worked around with a bit of batch or other
scripting magic. When your link gets his mail that group bundle
for a given area is nuked after the session, as you get more group
bundles in new bundles are created for downlinks, and placed in his
mailbox, or pointers to them in the usual way.
Again, if you're looking for a challenge, grab an archive of
groupmail, (be sure you've got the product created by System
Enhancement Associates) and read Jack Decker's fidonews article
referenced above, then start hacking. You never know, you might
just provide a real spark of life for ol' Fido here.
Fidonet groupmail specs can be found by referencing
Fidonet's technical standards from the old days: fsc-0036,
often available as FSC-0036.ZIP, by Dale Lovell.

===Home-Made Poultry Seasoning===
1/2 cup of dried parsley
1/2 cup dried rubbed sage
1/4 cup dried thyme
2 tablespoons dried sweet marjoram
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Mix well. Store in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dark place.
===
What if I want to use fresh herbs instead of dried and
don't wish to store the unused portion?
Dried herbs (when not stored for a long time) are more
potent and concentrated than fresh. If you substitute
fresh herbs for the dried ones above, you can use about
three times as much fresh herb as dried. In general
then you can figure a 1 to 3 ratio.

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor, with the help of
Richard Webb 1:116/901 (Old School ToolBox), and Sean Dennis 1:18/200
(The Slightly Crusty Sysop). If you have an idea for a column or a
series of articles, please contact me :)
New!
MailingList subsriptions via
www.filegate.net // lists / ?p=subscribe
but of course you can always link into your uplink and use
Tick or a tick compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when
there is a sparcity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather
you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues
with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into
something of consequence here :)
Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
your article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-655-5652
1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 via binkp or telnet mailer
(If you are using routed fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed
attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
Send them instead direct to filegate.net).
Standard binkp port only supports BinkP (24554).
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or netmail Janis
as above.
Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
drdebug @ filegate.net
or post in the fidogazette echo! :)
To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your
listing to:
bbslist @ filegate.net
or post it in the fidogazette echo!
