   15 Sep 16 15:37, you wrote to me:   
      
    AP> If there were answers to the e-mail group then I never received them.   
    AP> I've had a lot of problems with my provider and mailing lists. LOTS.   
      
   then sign up with a free service... there are several available... heck, for   
   that matter, sign up with a bbs account ;)   
      
   i have maybe 15 or 20 email addresses that i check every day... thunderbird   
   hits them all at once when i tell it to check... many of my email addresses   
   are on my own email server but i've also several gmail, yahoo, and hotmail   
   addresses...   
      
    AP> Seems that my host uses a service called SpamCop that tends to eat   
    AP> mailing list messages   
      
   sorry but spamcop doesn't eat anything... it is a reporting service only...   
   your provider is filtering based on the results of queries to the spamcop   
   database... i used spamcop for several years to take back my email acount from   
   the spammers... i used to get over 300 spams a day which were all reported to   
   spamcop... now i get maybe one or two spams a day and it is the same email   
   address i've had since the mid '90s... so anyway, spamcop is not the one to   
   blame here... it is your provider's use of the spamcop services...   
      
    AP> that are not compliant with the new standards that Microsoft/Yahoo/and   
    AP> AOL came up with a couple of years back.   
      
   that sounds like FUD they are feeding you...   
      
    AP> If they are not running the lastest mailserver software then I have   
    AP> problems.   
      
   that's crap, too...   
      
   anyway, you wrote two posts on Sep 9... one at 10:19PM (Need Help with ELEWEB)   
   and the other at 10:43PM (SMTP for JAM / ELEBBS)... robert wolfe responded to   
   the second one seven (7) minutes later with   
      
   [quote]   
   > Is there a program that can offer SMTPMail for EleBBS?   
      
   > I know Synchro, Wildcat, and Virtual have it, but their message bases are   
   > not compatible with ELEBBS.   
      
   Dinks multiserv does this but does Internet email to and from netmail and   
   requires a separate tossed.

   You said "trouble getting elebbs to log in", but I'll assume you mean EleWeb.   
      
   Which web server are you using?   
   Did you set the environment variable in your web server?   
   Which version of EleBBS and EleXer are you using?   
   Which version of EleWeb are you using (stock or coolmax)?   
   Did you complie your .pas scripts using the latest EleXer from Scott Little?

   i use one of my gmail addresses for the elebbs mailing list... i rarely use   
   the gmail web interface as my thunderbird pulls the mail off the gmail servers   
   via pop3... if your ISP has such a problem, then i'd sign up a gmail address   
   in addition to what you already have... however, if you would like an email   
   address that you can use for the elebbs mailing list, contact me via netmail   
   to this point address... i'm on a dynamic IP and the services i provide to   
   some folks are a hobby for me... they work fine most of the time but i don't   
   shoot for "five nines"... i'm happy with "two nines" ;)
