NAME

       axgetlist - read the message list from the BBS

SYNOPSIS

       axgetlist [-b bbsname] [-s startnum]

DESCRIPTION

       Axgetlist  works  as  a  replacement  of  ulistd(8)  for those users who don´t have permission to use the
       unproto lists or who find it unreliable. Axgetlist connects the home BBS, sends the commands for  getting
       the list of new messages and adds it to the same file as ulistd does. This allows one to use all the mail
       utilities the same way as with ulistd.

       Each BBS can use different format of message lists. The format for your BBS must be carefuly specified in
       the   configuration   file   /etc/ax25/axgetlist.conf  (see  the  example  configuration  file  for  more
       information).

AUTHORIZATION

       After the successful connect to the BBS axgetlist attempts to execute the script /var/ax25/auth_agent and
       redirects its stdin and stdout to the BBS. The BBS callsign is passed as the first command line argument.
       The script should take actions needed for user's authorization to the  BBS.  When  the  script  execution
       fails, axgetlist continues downloading the message list without authorization.
