BPQ - Configuring Mail
BPQ includes a Bulletin Board System that can be used for sending and receiving mail between local users on the same BBS and further afield.
Enabling Mail
To enable the Mail functionality you will need to edit your bpq32.cfg file.
Firstly add the LINMAIL directive somewhere near the top of the file, under SIMPLE (if defined)
SIMPLE LINMAIL
Next define the BBS application at the bottom of the file, underneath your last port.
You should update your MYCALL to the callsign of your node. Convention usually puts the BBS on SSID 1. You should also change ALIAS to a suitable alias, up to 6 characters long.

Once done, restart bpq to apply the changes.
Configuring Mail
Once it's been enabled in bpq32.cfg, the mail functionality is configured via the web based admin interface.
