The DOOR.ID file
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 = <doorname>
This is the name of the door that created the QWK packet,
eg. <doorname> = Tomcat.
VERSION = <doorversion>
This is the version number of the door that created the packet,
eg. <doorversion> = 2.9.
SYSTEM = <systemtype>
This is the underlying BBS system type and version,
eg. <systemtype> = Wildcat 2.55.
CONTROLNAME = <controlname>
This is the name to which the reader should send control messages,
eg. <controlname> = TOMCAT.
CONTROLTYPE = <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.
