Is there any updates or anything being done for the mail tosser FMail anymore?

I have tried to find the web site that use to be out there that the author had but it seems to have been taken down. I am looking into using this wiht a old bbs package and am wondering if the older registered version I have will run in a window enviroment or not. At this time I have version 1.22 and is a DOS version.. Is it still available to be registered now or has that gone away also?


Thanks

Yes, Wilfred Van Velzen is maintaining/supporting FMail now. I don't remember off hand where it is but I think it's sourceforge.net. He has a win32 version now although the old dos versions will probably still work if your OS supports 16bit apps.

It's been a while now. There is no support for FMail.

I even tried to use it when I ported my system to Mystic, but the lack of
support forced me to move into other system.

Good to know, I thought this was gone for good.

Well I am trying to bring back to life my old TAG bbs and I use to use Fmail as the mailer for it. I am just going to try to use the windows version of it and see if I cna get it to work for me.

Thanks for your input

Last I heard (about a month or two ago) FMail is now opensource. There
are still a few systems on Fidonet that use it to this day.

Well that is good to hear that there are some out there still using it. I hope to use it again myself as it is what I used before back in the day before the internet came along.

Hmm. TAG. A name I have not heard in years :)

Well there was two sysops out there running TAG for a while but one has change to a different software and the other one it is still there but I can no longer connect to it as it just comes up busy all the time when I try to connect to it. So if all goes well I hope to have it up and running soon. I am just trying to get past a problem of uploads and downloads with it I am not able to get that working right now. I know it will work as the one bbs running TAG that I cna connect to had it working but I am not able to find out how this sysop got it to owrk. He just said use BNU or something along that line but said nothing more. So I am still trying to figure this part out. Since I have to use netfoss and net2bbs as part of what makes it possible to get it back online.

They are probably use CEXYZ or FDSZ, which work with FOSSIL drivers.
