 This setting guides the BinkP server on how to handle files being sent to it that already exist in your [[config_system_paths|Inbound Echomail]] file path. Options are to rename or temporarily skip on filename conflicts. Default is rename. This is a good option and ensures files can be accepted even if something of the same name exists.

-The Mystic BinkP server (and Fidopoll) support opportunistic SSL (TLS v1.2+) using a proprietary extension of the BINKP protocol.  This means that it will only work with other Mystic BBS clients and servers, but the Mystic authors plans to document the extension and send it to the authors of other mailers in hopes that it can be standardized. The **SSL/TLS setting is experimental** at this stage and also requires you have [[cryptlib|installed Cryptlib]] - you have been warned.

+==== HTTP ====
+Mystic BBS now offers a basic HTTP server.
+Here's what is known thus far as quoted in WHATSNEW.TXT
+   + MIS now has a basic HTTP server.  The server can be created in the server
+     editor within the configuration.  A webroot path must be defined, which
+     points to a directory where your website files and configuration will
+     exist.  For example, if you set webroot to c:\mystic\webroot\ then you
+     will need to create two subdirectories under it (cfg and www):
+        c:\mystic\webroot\cfg\
+        c:\mystic\webroot\www\
+     In the www folder will be where you place your website files.  The CFG
+     folder will hold various configuration values for the web server in the
+     future.  Note this is a very barebones server at this point only really
+     capable of serving basic websites, but I intend to work on it further as
+     I find time.
+The default port for HTTP is 80 but this can be set to something different if you wish.
+The HTTP server configuration screen is displayed below.

+There are a number of options available to you for configuration in this screen.
+== Active ==
+Is the server active or not? Options are 'Yes' or 'No'
+== ID ==
+Sets a protocol ID shown in the Mystic Internet Server 'status' screen. Best to leave these as default.
+== Adapter Type ==
+Use IPv4, IPv6 or dual stack? Options are IPV4, IPV6, IPV4+IPV6
+== IPV4 Adapter ==
+Specify network interface for IPv4 adapter. Leave as 0.0.0.0 if you wish Mystic to accept ANY connection on a
+specified port for all IPv4 adapters.
+== IPV6 Adapter ==
+Specify network interface for IPv6 adapter. Leave as :: if you wish Mystic to accept ANY connection on a
+specified port for all IPv6 adapters.
+== Port ==
+Set which port to use for new connections on this server. Default is 80.
+== Max Allowed ==
+Set maximum concurrent connections allowed for this server. This setting is also associated with //Max BBS Nodes// found in the [[config_server_options|General Options]] section of the 'Servers' menu.
+== Auto IP Ban ==
+This option will automatically BAN an IP if they connect to a server more than X times in X seconds.  The default recommendation is 4 connections in 120 seconds.  Setting either of the values to a zero will disable this feature. Refer also to the [[introduction#IP_BLOCKING_+_EXCEPTIONS|IP Blocks + Exceptions]] and [[config_edit_ip_blacklist|Edit IP Blacklist]] and [[config_edit_ip_whitelist|Edit IP Whitelist]] sections of the Wiki.
+== Country Block ==
+Use IP2Location country blocking? Options are 'Yes' or 'No'.
+Mystic offers country blocking using a local database the Sysop installs from the Internet. Read more about this feature in the [[config_edit_country_blocking|Edit Country Blocking]] section of the Wiki.
+== Send Blocked ==
+Send BLOCKED message to client when blocked? Options are 'Yes' or 'No'.
+== Dupe IP Limit ==
+Set the maximum number of allowed connections per IP address. A setting of 0 will disable this limit.
+== Root Path ==
+Set the root path for the location of HTML and config files to be used.
