    RP> Messages to ALL are not permitted in Conference: #0 via the

    RP>    
    RP> Conference 0 is intended for Private EMail and To "ALL" Opens up the

    RP>    
    RP> The Capitalized "ALL" can be used in other Conferences as a valid Public

    RP> A plain text file Group List:

    RP>  John Smith

    RP>    
    RP> Which would send a CC Copy to users in the Distribution List Group 1

   Tried it again... and a message to ALL in a local area, not area 0, is   
   nothing more than a message addressed to ALL.    
      
   BBS software that hasn't been worked on since the early 90's had that   
   feature...   
      
   I know that the terminal side of WINServer is a little lite on features,   
   unless you knoqw how to program in wcBasic, se're stuck.  WINServer should   
   have a message to "ALL" built into it and as well an ability to let the users   
   have a signature file... on the terminal side.   
      
   I got my ass kicked on 2 projects... adding the ssl certificates to the web   
   server... not hard if you knew what to do... and as well I had issues with   
   fTelnet   
      
   Anyway, that's behind me...
