   I use the smapi version with jam message bases.  I have not tested it   
   with any other formats (squish or *.msg).   But I did find and fix one   
   bug which resulted in indexes not being updated if the thread crashed   
   or the message based was packed before the jamnntpd thread completed   
   gracefully.  This would result in any posted message being deleted.   
   Now who would pack message bases like this?  Probably no one... But if   
   the thread crashed then it would cause problem.   
      
   Since the smapi version was the best for me I worked in basic iipv6   
   support which actually seems to be working well.  The only thing that   
   needs to be done is give the user ability to listen on specific   
   addresses.  Right now, jamnntpd just listens on all configured   
   addresses but since it is working reliable might have to stay that way   
   for now.   
      
   I also have been using the SSL functionality and have one active user   
   other than myself.  Yesterday I discovered a pretty serious bug in   
   which threads were hanging.  This would result in all connections   
   being consumed.  In working with the socket code I noticed the read is   
   blocking and there is no timeout.  So, if the thread never receives   
   the termination (TCP FIN) can hang indefinately.   I think I fixed   
   this and if I see correctly it had potental to affect non-ssl   
   connections - which may also be fixed - just not tested.

   The <> is for an e-mail address and the / or perhaps the : in a fido   
   address causes problems in display for some news readers.  First I   
   changed that to unknown@fxxx.nzzz.zyy.fidonet.net for a filler but   
   then noticed that the -> also caused problems.  Now I just have "from   
   - to".  The absence of <> does not appear to cause issues.
