      Hi,              On 2014-07-07 23:26:18, Oleg Pevzner wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:        about: "The first results...":               OP>>> 1. Why can't FMail be configured by use of environment variables?        OP>>> E.g., I want to use %FTN%-variable with default value H:\FIDONET        OP>>> defining paths but FSetupX accepts full paths only.        WV>> Why?

It would be a very useful feature and we'll be        OP> glad to see it realized in the next releases.              I think it's usefull too. I'll see what I can do in one of the next releases.               OP>>> 2. I have 30 echo-groups. In FastEcho I could have 26 groups from        OP>>> A to Z and 6 groups from 1 to 6. In FMail this value is limited        OP>>> by 26 only from A to Z. Is it a principle limit and is it        OP>>> possible to increase this value?        WV>> It's a limit in the configuration file, so it's (very) difficult to        WV>> change.               OP> Well, I accepted this restriction. But, to be honest, it's a pitty.        OP> For example, a large node can have 30 and more echo groups easily.              It seems like a lot to me. But I don't operate a big hub, so I wouldn't know       if it's something that's a real limit. ;)               OP> In the previous message I described the possible situation when the        OP> session is password-protected, the node is defined in the area manager        OP> but no password is specified for it. As already also mentioned, it's        OP> rather exotic situation but it can take place in real life.              When there is a password in the .pkt file but there is none in the       configuration for the node. This is reported on the screen and in the log       file. But the pkt file is processed anyway.              When there is a pkt password in the configuration for the node, but no       password in the received pkt file, this is reported as a security voilation,       and the .pkt file is renamed to a .sec file.               OP> Thank you once more for attention.

Thank you for the suggestions!              Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32-1.68.10.91        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
