      Hi,              On 2014-07-06 15:08:37, Oleg Pevzner wrote to All:        about: "The first results...":              Michiel already answered some, so I won't go in every detail.               OP> Yesterday I made some experiments with new version of FMail.

E.g., I        OP> want to use %FTN%-variable with default value H:\FIDONET defining paths        OP> but FSetupX accepts full paths only.              Why? I don't know. Maybe because I and the previous author never thought of       that, and nobody asked before? ;)               OP> 2. I have 30 echo-groups. In FastEcho I could have 26 groups from A to        OP> Z and 6 groups from 1 to 6. In FMail this value is limited by 26 only        OP> from A to Z. Is it a principle limit and is it possible to increase        OP> this value?              It's a limit in the configuration file, so it's (very) difficult to change.               OP> 3. I haven't found any possibility in the configuration to specify the        OP> directory for an unprotected inbound. So, the question appears where the        OP> packages will be placed during the unprotected tossing?              It will be placed in the directory where you have your mailer configured to       place it. I don't think it's upto a tosser to handle this directly. I think       most sysops handle this manually...               OP> 4. The uppercase and lowercase characters can't be distinguished in        OP> the file names, paths, passwords etc. In some cases, it may be        OP> important (e.g., when we talk about the passwords).              From origin fmail is a dos program, so it only allowed uppercase filenames and       paths. When I come accross this, I change it to allow both upper and lower       case. But I probably missed a few. If you point them out, I will change that       for the next release.              Passwords are mixcase where it is allowed by the standards.                     Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32-1.68.10.91        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
