#topic(SysNewUser New User Defaults Editor)
#title(New user defaults)
This topic is related to the fields found in WtrConf under
System Configuration, New user defaults.

#subtopic(SysNewUser Notify)
#title(Notify)
When set to Yes this new user will receive an informational
Notification message with the settings and subscribed areas
when WtrGate is started with the NOTIFY command line option.

#subtopic(SysNewUser FTNGroups)
#title(FTN user groups)
Select the groups the new user will have access to.

#subtopic(SysNewUser FTNCompression)
#title(Compression)
Select the compression program that will be used to compress
outgoing mail bundles for this new user.

#subtopic(SysNewUser SendFormat)
#title(Send format)
This options select how bundles are to be sent to this
new user. The first four options are flags for your mailer,
the other two select sending of the archive via Internet
mail using either WaterGate's own MailTunnel format
(for backwards compatibility) or the new SEAT format.

#subtopic(SysNewUser MaxPktLength)
#title(Maximum .PKT file length)
This setting sets the maximum size for an echomail PKT file in bytes.
WaterGate creates a new packet when this size has been reached.

A setting of #0# means "unlimited". The minimum limit is 50000 bytes.

#subtopic(SysNewUser MaxArcLength)
#title(Maximum archive length)
Enter the maximum size for an outgoing Archive for this new user.

WaterGate checks the size of a bundle before it adds a .PKT file.
If it has reached or passed its limit, then a new archive is
started.

You can set it to 0 for an unlimited length (a new archive is
first started when the user has picked up mail).
Note that there is a minimum of @50,000@ bytes for this option.

This field is also used to decide whether an tunnel archive can
be mailed already. The size of the archive has to be at least the
size set in this field before it is sent via e-mail.

A setting of zero causes the archives from being sent at the end
of each run.

#subtopic(SysNewUser RFCGroups)
#title(UUCP/BAG user groups)
Select the groups this new user will have access to.

#subtopic(SysNewUser RFCCompression)
#title(UUCP Compression)
Use this toggle to select the compression method used for outgoing
bundles for this new UUCP user. Only news bundles are compressed. The
option NONE disables compression. The default setting is COMPRESS.

#subtopic(SysNewUser AddBatchHeader)
#title(Add batch header)
Select this option to add a special header to each compressed
news batch. WaterGate will add the text "#! cunbatch" to the
compressed archive, when compressed with compress.

The header "#! gunbatch" is added to GZip batches, but that can
be controlled with the GZIPBATCH option in the ROUTE.TDB file.

Normally you want to do this for all your compressed new bundles,
so this option is set to YES by default. It is best to set it
to NO for your UUCP uplink though, because if reliability issues.

The "#! cunbatch" string is used by UNIX machine so they can easily
detect that your news bundle is compressed (it is an execute
command to start a script that decompresses the archive).

#subtopic(SysNewUser Mail and news grades)
#title(Mail and news grade)
These fields hold a single letter that indicates the transport
priority for mail and news. The highest priority is A and the
lowest is Z. You can tell your UUCP mailer to transport packets
up to a certain grade, so you can transport news in the cheaper
hours only.

The defaults are A for Mail and Z for news.

; New Area Defaults Editor
;
#topic(SysNewArea New Area Defaults Editor)
#title(New area defaults)
This topic is related to the fields found in WtrConf under
System Configuration, New area defaults.

#subtopic(SysNewArea MsgBaseType)
#title(Msg base type)
When WaterGate automatically creates an area when delivered by
User with the 'Auto Area Create' option set to Yes, then this
option controls what type of message base to set for this area.

Selecting 'pass-through' selects no message base while any of
the others select that type of message base. The path is
automatically filled in by WtrGate.

#subtopic(SysNewArea DefaultNumber)
#title(Default number)
The default number of messages that are kept in a local message base.
This number is used when new areas are created. Use @0@ if you don't want
to remove messages by number.

#subtopic(SysNewArea DefaultDays)
#title(Default days)
The default number of days a message is kept in a local message base.
This number is used when new areas are created. Use @0@ if you don't want
to remove messages by age.

#subtopic(SysNewArea DefaultNewPath)
#title(Default new path)
This directory is used when creating new message areas, usually it
points to the sub-directory where your message files are stored.
So when choosing a message base type for a new area, you only have
to add the filename for the new base.
