   Hi! Wilfred,   
      
   On Thu, 10 Aug 17, you wrote to me:

    WvV> possible issues found by Nicolas ;)).   
      
   Yep, I'm watching.  I'll get to re-configuring things here on the weekend...   
      
    WvV>>> There is no smtp server in fmail, just a function

    PQ>> Oh, I have a similar Fidonet solution for that (dunno

    PQ>> years.  :)   
      
    WvV> And you have links that use that? I've never used this   
    WvV> function in FMail, so I don't know how well or bad it   
    WvV> works...   
      
   I have had many links using it over the years but it gets little to no use   
   these days.  But it's more than you're thinking of.  It's original purpose is   
   to provide a mailing list<-->echomail gateway, either locally-hosted echomail   
   areas or remote groups.  Netmail can be shoved through to email as well, and   
   vice-versa.   
      
   It's called Transnet but is somewhat 'dated', from pre-1998.  The distro   
   archive is available via FREQ from -this- node as 'tn211.zip' (minus quotes).    
   I also have the required Windows utils and the sources for the following   
   version (mostly C, C++ and some object files).   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
