[nos-bbs] NTS Rewrite rule

Brian,

I have included what we use below.  

But I will add the following:
We don't have any local operators that are interested in handling NTS traffic.  So I don't know the mechanics of how an NTS operator would use JNOS to handle an NTS message.  Specifically, to be able to see the mailbox, I guess it would need to be listed in the areas file.  But I don't think anyone but a sysop can delete messages from public mailboxes.  So I don't know how a local JNOS user would pick up an NTS message and then delete it from the mailbox (so that someone else doesn't try to handle the same message).

# Valid NTS address formats are:
#
#   <zipcode>@NTS<st>
#
#       where:  <zipcode> is 5 digit zip code
#               <st> is 2-letter state (USA) or province (Canada)
#
# Typically there would be four sets of rules:
#   1) match specific zipcodes for which we will handle delivery and place
#      in a local area for local NTS operators to handle (e.g. nts)
#   2) (optional) match specific zipcodes that our forwarding
#      partners handle and place them in areas for forwarding to them
#      (e.g. nts_<zipcode> or nts_rn<#>)
#      This gets those messages directly to their intended destination.
#   3) (optional) match specific states that our forwarding partners handle
#      and place them in areas for forwarding to them (e.g. nts_<st>)
#   4) match all other (general) NTS traffic and place it in an area for
#      forwarding to some designated forwarding partner(s) (e.g. ntsfwd)
#


#------- Specific NTS addresses for which we handle delivery -------------
#    <zipcode>@ntsca	nts

# -- None at this time


#------- Specific NTS addresses that our forwarding partners handle ------
#  Send to a single forwarding partner
#    <zipcode>@nts<st>	<bbscall>_bbs
