subject: Anyone looking for a mailer?

Subj:   a new mailer, sorta, it's kinda old actually
Now that there are fewer sysops around, I might actually get around to 
releasing my front end mailer. It's been a hobby for quite a few years. Okay, 
seven or so.
Anyway, it's probably more like Bink than other mailers in some respects, in 
that it has text config files, uses almost identical outbound structures, and 
supports v6 (even large) and v7 nodelists.
It ain't "purdy" like Fd, but it is snappy (fast), and even ran pretty much 
for 
a year and a half, unnatended, while I was away in England. It also supports 
some "front end mailer" features that you won't find elsewhere, like scalable 
outbound timers, and the like. You can safely use it in large, or multinode 
situations.
Anyway, if anyone is out there, and kinda bored because they haven't fixed 
what 
ain't broke in a while, gimme a shout. I'll either send it direct, tell you 
where to freq it, or post an URL. It's currently available as:
   mmail1i3.zip (MelMail v1.00i3) from 1:163/207
   features.mm  (text file, about 30k) from 1:163/207
   ftp://adcn.on.ca/public/win-32  (not the latest, but close)
   http://www.carleton.ca/~jdubois (not the latest, but close)
I update it every week or so, so you can consider it "active".
Not sure why anyone would wanna bother, but, it does do mail quite nicely.
One last caveat: it has only thus far been tested in North America, so I have 
little clue what other continents might want. Feedback will be acted upon in 
short notice, though.
Cheers,
Mel
