I remember that.  I don't use it any more, but I do recall editing the
script.

I tries to install you validate script last night, and I seem to have
one small problem here...( most likely something in my system setup)
Anyway, what's happening is that when blat sends the mail, the e-mail
address is getting cut at 18 characters, and I am getting mail subsytem
delivery failure messages coming back at me for invalid addresses.

I tested it out with two different accounts, and the e-mail addresses
got cut as follows:

steeplejack69{at}yahoo.com became steeplejack69{at}yaho
steeplejack{at}nycap.rr.com became steeplejack{at}naycap.

both 18 characters. The addresses are writing fine to the email.txt
file, and they're showing up in the user records perfectly.  Is this a
problem with blat or something I have set up in my system wrong do you
think?

Blat version is 1.9.4 under XP.

I love the idea of this script, and just in case anybody might want to
know what I intend its use for, rather than having it set for access to
the BBS itself, I am using it as a validator on a menu right before my
network message menu to validate people to post in FidoNet.  Until they
enter their code, they don;t have an access level high enough that
offers tham anything except "read only" in the FidoNet international areas.

Phil
