SLMAIL was never updated to be y2k compliant. This       viamail has now become interesting and quick google searches didn't find       much on it. Do you have it on your board? I tried the addr in the tag       line, but that went to a wildcat board with no File access on first call.              I was working with a guy back in the 95-97 timeframe for something better       than SLMail for Searchlight, but not sure what ever became of that       project since I moved across the country and shut down the BBS in 97.        SLMail was always a pain. Frank never thought much of the FTN networks,       so really didn't put in the effort to make it work well and Pat's sole       purpose was to sell more RIP tools, so SLMail remains the bane of my       existance. :) I would like to checkout that software and see if there's       a good mail solution in there,              --- MagickaBBS v0.10alpha (Linux/armv7l)        * Origin: A Tiny slice o pi (1:229/452.4)    |
