Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone else participating in the echo was using
SearchLight as well and if so, how do you have your netmail conference set
up as I am having an issue getting that set up as ViaMail!/SL wants to use
the MAIL board for netmail.

From what I remember, you need to run a utility to make the message databases non-Y2K, then import the Netmail, then run the utility again to make them
Y2K. Netmail can only be imported in *.MSG format.

I have the files here... somewhere.

But, I think that is only if SLMAIL was being used, in this case, it is not.

That is correct. SLMAIL was never updated to be y2k compliant. This
viamail has now become interesting and quick google searches didn't find
much on it. Do you have it on your board? I tried the addr in the tag
line, but that went to a wildcat board with no File access on first call.

I was working with a guy back in the 95-97 timeframe for something better
than SLMail for Searchlight, but not sure what ever became of that
project since I moved across the country and shut down the BBS in 97.
SLMail was always a pain. Frank never thought much of the FTN networks,
so really didn't put in the effort to make it work well and Pat's sole
purpose was to sell more RIP tools, so SLMail remains the bane of my
existance. :) I would like to checkout that software and see if there's
a good mail solution in there,

No, it's not on my board, but if you want, I can put it up on my web server
so that you can download it. My main Wildcat! system, I think, is way
over due to an overhaul. You should have gotten full access on the first
call (I've upgraded your access anyway).

Yes, I'd definitely like to check it out and see how/if we can
incorporate it into the system. Right now I'm kind of at a stand-still
with Searchlight till I get a box for it. We have it running in DOSEMU
on a Linux system and it's so full of buggy components that it's not
practical to keep trying to make it work in that environment, so going to
have to give it it's own box. That should give plenty of time to check
out viamail and see if it's a viable option.

I tried logging in again, but the system didn't recognize I was even in
the userbase. :( I elected to not sign up for a new acct again in case something was a miss there.

5.1 beta. Really the only way to go at the moment for Telnet and utilize
a fossil.
