   04 Dec 16 12:28, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>>> So you either have a lot of messages or some very big messages   
    WV>>> stored in the hudson message base. Anyway you should do some   
    WV>>> maintenance on it to make room for new ones...   
      
    ml>> if JAM netmail is hard, maybe it is time to add goldbase capabilities   
    ml>> first?  :mrgreen:   
      
    WV> The code is already there. There used to be a goldbase compatible   
    WV> FMail. But I never tried to compile it nor tested it... ;)   
      
   :clap: :clap: :clap: that's great! i think there's only one other tosser that   
   supports goldbase, these days... i can't even recall which BBS software it was   
   that used it... one of the quickBBS clones, IIRC...   
      
   goldbase is simply an expanded HMB using larger variable types... longint   
   instead of word and word instead of byte being two of those changes... i don't   
   recall if they expanded the number of areas over 200, though... then someone   
   did something where you could have multiple bases stored in different   
   directories which multiplied the number of areas possible but you still had   
   the same msg*.bbs and lastread.bbs files to step through in each directory...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
