Out of both        Ac> posts that came through, neither of them show your email in the "From"        Ac> field, so either Synchronet or clrghaus probably removed that for you.               Ac> One of the main things that bothers me about NNTP is by default all of        Ac> your posts will be "To: All" unless you are able to force the        Ac> "x-comment-to" field, which is doable in slrn as you can see this message        Ac> is to you. It's also doable with Thunderbird with some messing with the        Ac> config, but it's ugly.              I accidently messed up an smtp server setting in Thunderbird while testing       around with the newsgroups yesterday. Took me a while to add that SMTP again       and to find out that i have an application password for that Email provider       different from the providers website login =) LOL              still thinking about if i want to test slrn. Not sure if i want another TUI       interface for reading/posting messages.              Mindsurfer              ---        þ Synchronet þ FuNToPiA BBS - telnet://funtopia.synchro.net:3023 ssh:3022        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/0 1 215 601 610 700 840 860 880       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
