Actually, this is not correct. The author, Charles Cruden, still supports
the product and answers emails quite frequently if there are any issues
with Internet Rex. I know, because I recently had a question about the deletion of .RXT files, to which Charles replied that it was indeed safe to delete them -- which I did -- freeing up 20GB of hard drive space on my downlink's BBS hard drive.

With the binkp portion, I do not think that this is the case. I am
thinking that the server functions refer to the POP3 and SMTP functions
as well as the IDENTD functions. IIRC, I've run the binkp daemon in

I might want to use those features at a later date if I decide to change up my software. It does not appear to have any upgrade options so if I register and need the other features I have to register all over again.

I also have emailed the author to ask about upgrade options and etc. I've received no reply. Some have told me he's pretty much abandoned irex but it's a good program, it works, and there's no reason to not register it if I need it.

The -only- way I would ever use a hacked key is if I couldn't obtain a
key from the author legitimately.

With that said I am at my wits end... I lost my registered copy of qedit
in a fire, and it's no longer developed or supported. I would give
anything to have a registred copy of it again. I hate this press f10
and the reloading of your document at the end drives me crazy.

But if registering IREX legitimately will entice the author back in
development then it's worth it.

tear lines are not required by the spec... the operator of the tool can add their own tear line too the bottom of the file if they like... i prefer to not have a tear line and have been running without one since the '90s when fastecho
first came with the feature (FEOPT=STRIPTEAR) to strip tear lines from locally originated messages when they are scanned out of the message base... /this/ (point) system only has one because i've not dug into HPT to change the code to
make tear lines optional and i haven't written a post processor to strip them out of the PKTs... but seriously, though... tear lines are not required by the spec ;)

From the iRex manual: "Registered users can purchase either 50 or 1000 user
licences, with or without server support. Only 1000 user licences can
use the "Send to unknown nodes" option."

3.2.14: Send to unknown nodes

If Rex finds mail to a system that's not in its node manager, but is
in your mailer's nodelist with the appropriate flags set, it can send
that mail automatically, without you having to configure the node in the
node manager. Setting this value to "yes" will turn on this feature:
"no" will turn it off.
Note that to have this feature work you require a compatible compiled
nodelist in the nodelist directory of Files, paths & programs -> Mailer
setup. At the moment, Rex can use FD, IM, V7+, BBBS, Shotgun or GoldEd
style compiled nodelists.

The way I understood it is that if it was not in a nodelist at
all...as in a new system to a net, where the nodelist hasn't yet been
updated.
