    From Jay Allshire@1:120/302 to All on Mon Sep 18 14:54:18 2017
    Can someone tell me what mailer would work good with Fmail? Back in the modem days I use to use Frontdoor but that is no longer going to work so I need to find something new to do this task.


    Thanks

    I'll quote from the doc: ;)

    "Supported mailers are FrontDoor, InterMail, D'Bridge, Binkley, Portal of Power, MainDoor and Xenia. If your mailer is compatible with any of these, it can be used too."

    And Binkd is what is compatible with Binkley, and that is what most (and me too) use these days...

    Fmail works very well with binkd.

    Well, there may not be a need to use a mailer, peoplehave been using other methods such as binkp to send their mail around. There is an other way... InterNET REX, I like this one... becaue it has a FD-Like setup and will actually work with FD. BTW, JoHo is back and is working on Frontdoor...
    things may be changing with that...

    Binkley Term is also a mailer that may work for you, the binkp program works like binkley term..

    If I recall... fmail will work with either 2 programs... binkp or internet
    rex.

    Would Taurus work with it ok? I need a different mailer to use cause I am already running BINKD on this machine for my main bbs and TAG is going to be run on this machine as a secondary bbs and I figure two copies of BINKD running on that same machine is not going to work.

    In a message to Wilfred Van Velzen you wrote:

    It ought to but that's a lot of trouble to go to just to do binkP mail & file transfers. (I use Radius on -this- node, which is what Taurus was derived from.) Is there something else that you want to do with it? Telnet? POTS? FTP? Which are just a few options with Taurus.

    I need a different mailer to use cause I am already running
    BINKD on this machine for my main bbs and TAG is going to be
    run on this machine as a secondary bbs and I figure two
    copies of BINKD running on that same machine is not going to
    work.

    Why not? You're using Windows, aren't you. You could run a second copy of the
    same binkD executable with a different configuration file in another sub-dirctory, for the second BBS's inbound & outbound.

    This was a *free* consultation. Follow-ups could be expensive. ;-)

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    It'll work fine... just make sure they are listening to 2 different ports..
    ie let one listen to 24554 and the other on... lets say 24555 ... problem solved

    Cool, anyway... I'm glad you are around supporting fmail. There are only a
    few of you guys out there.

    It'll be interesting to see how it addresses todays modes of transfers and as well if he can add to it.

    Hi Wilfred.

    I think there are people that do this. But you need two separate configuration files, and use a different port on the second. (But that is true if you run Taurus as second mailer too)

    Well since I am using BINKD for my mailer for my main system and it is working good I think I may just go with that for this second bbs also. That way it will all be the same and I will not have to bounce back and forth with mailers and try to remember all the stuff for both. I just changed to BINKD for my main system a couple of months ago and I am finally getting the hang of how it works and I have alot less problems now that I have made the switch to it.


    I am in the process of getting T.A.G up and running and that is what I wanted Fmail for as it is what I used when I ran T.A.G. way back when I ran it beofre there was internet. So thanks for all your help so far I do appreciate it very much.

    Take care

    I have never liked it, though I use it, never liked it. I'm hoping to that there be a native linux & Windows version. I'd like dialup access and mailer
    to mailer communication... like you can with with OS2 and the use of SIO/VModem.

    Anyway, because when I arrived on to the scene years ago FD was the mailer I used. Anyway, fmail is better off today because of your developement into
    it. It is my hope that FD goes to a place where it needs to beto advance
    this technology.

    Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It is distinct from ice pellets (American sleet), though the two are often confused.[1] It consists of balls
    or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone. Ice pellets (American sleet) falls generally in cold weather while hail growth is greatly inhibited during cold surface temperatures.[2]

    frontdoor works just fine with a telnet capable virtual modem like netserial/netfoss... plus joho has returned to fidonet and is working on frontdoor again...

    but, right now, in today's fidonet, binkd is the most common mailer used... it is a BSO mailer so those with binnkleyterm experience will probably understand it faster and easier than others...

    i use both, frontdoor and binkd, on my system in a kinda of hybrid setup... while i could use the BSO in its natural form, i prefer to use binkd's fileboxes which makes it easier for my scripts to move the outbound mail to each system that connects here via the binkp protocol... all the major processing is still done in the frontdoor/fastecho style manner... all inbound traffic is moved to the central processing area and dealt with... outbound stays with FD for its dynamic routing or is moved into a system's filebox for binkd to mangle...

    What is there to add? Binkp is perfect! ;)

    HA! it is missing a lot of things that mailer operators came to expect... scheduling of mail events, accepting inbound connections at certain times while
    still handling outbound deliveries, dynamic routing and packing of mail during
    events, etc...

    in reality, binkd is little more than a protocol engine with some BSO capabilities bolted on...

    I am genuinely happy for you, Joe. I don't much care since the "big
    bang of '98", when my old BBS machine blew with sparks & much smoke
    within sight of the whole family. It took with it FroDo & a RA BBS.
    After that I totally went BSO and a toy Mystic BBS.

    you're welcome back any time ;) O:)

    That's comforting to know but it won't happen. OTOH, I do intend to re-enable the telnet nodelist flags on my Radius node's listings, to give youse blokes some additional testing targets.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    I have been using Frontdoor in the past, but I don't miss nor need any of that...

    It's a perfect example of the linux philosophy, doing 1 thing and doing that 1 thing very well!

    Bye, Wilfred.
