I am not as clear about whether or not it       will auto-add a user if they post to the conference. I am thinking it did       not used to but may do so now. From my end, it looked like that is what       you did that worked the last time.              > If you want to drop a conference, that's a little different.       > I've hit the key to drop a conference before and it either       > didn't happen or didn't happen for quite a while.              That is one I have never got to work, with SLMR or Multimail. I will ask       about that in the support echo and see what the answer is so that I will       know, too!              > Another bit of confusion is I find myself getting messages from       > a conference I never signed up for so some of it seems automatic,       > maybe when a new conference on a network is started up..              > I assume some of the conferences are on Your BBS and you have       > more control over those..              Yes. When you add a message area, synchronet has a lot of switches that       can be set Y/N and, if the sysop doesn't get the combinations right, it can       cause conferences to auto-add for users. There is a switch that       specifically ask if I want that to be done and I am almost positive that       setting that to "N" doesn't always stop it from doing so. I think there is       a combo of a couple of switches that have to be set to get it to actually       work as I would expect and I am not sure I have figured that combo out! :D              Mike               * SLMR 2.1a * I'm NOT unemployed. ....I'm a consultant.       --- SBBSecho 3.28-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58 712/848       SEEN-BY: 902/26 2320/0 105 304 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
