ECHOLIST DOCUMENTATION
Welcome to ... The International Echolist - Deleting a Listing via Netmail/Email

Deleting an Echolist Entry

Internet users can submit MODerator DELete messages via email.

Updating the database is done by sending email to the Echolist Robot at
echolist@fidonet.us

The Subject line determines the robot's action:

  • MODerator UPDate (or MOD UPD)
  • MODerator DELete (or MOD DEL)
  • MODerator RULe (or MOD RUL)

Depending on the action requested, ECHOBASE will read the message, add the echo to (or update, delete) the echolist database, add a rule file, send a netmail response, announce the echo and forward a submission to the EList.

Terminating the message

So that Echobase will know when to stop reading the message for keywords, you need to include a line beginning with three-dashes to indicate the end of a message.
