I have a few questions about your mail only system.

I was thinking of moving my fidonet/micronet hubs to a more mail-only
format and was wondering what software you are using.

I was thinking of using binkd, hpt to toss, and then I would need something
to read any netmail sent to the system. I would probably set up most/all the echoes as pass-thru on that system.

Looks like you are using fmail as the tosser instead? What kind of message bases -- jam or other -- are you writing to?

Thanks for the 20Q. ;)

FMail supports Hudson and JAM.

FMail supports Hudson and JAM.

I wonder if it is better supported than hpt.

Wilfred van Veltzen claims to be Fmail's developer but I have it on good word that all he did was add his name to the program and compiled it. YMMV.

It was the Mystic author who pointed this out, then gee whiz... all of the sudden a new version of Fmail got hatched without the name in neon lights.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
