No.

Yes.

This has come up more often and also recently. I think I'll write a FAQ about it.

Awesome, I patiently await. The new NNTP Server is on my Linux box - just waiting for me to get fmail migrated from Windows to that machine - and no more Windows for me - except for product support.

You still need some kind of windows for the configuration program, that isn't converted to linux yet. I use a virtual XP on my linux machine for that. Maybe dosbox works too...

Than don't! ;)

If it did it correctly, FMail wouldn't add a second one...

Oddly, NNTPs strips the leading space on " * Origin:" making FMail re-tear. Which is correct, just testing things in NNTPd before I swap out for my NNTP server.

In the meantime, while I await steps to spin up fmail-lnx, I have ported almost all *.h files to pascal, so I can work on a Linux "Pretty CLI" app for FMail. (My pascal compiler makes native DOS binaries, and Linux RTL binaries that can look and function (even in SSH) like your existing fconfigw32.exe... plus, I also ported TTT (Techno Jock framework also to Linux and BSD)... so my app will look visually like a clone of fconfigw32.

Cheers!

Wilfred,

Hope all is well... have you had a chance to document migrating to Linux FMail? I have finished my NNTPd (how I am interfacing right now), however, it's on Linux and my FMail is on my Windows server w/ JAMNNTPd.

I appreciate the assistance!

And URL to the binary too please ;-)... I keep following the links on SourceForge, which take me to a Windows binary (even from My Mac OSX box).

Thanks again!
Ozz

Yes, I wrote the draft last week... And... Forgot about it :-/, because I was busy with other stuff. If I'll get the chance, I'll proof read it later today and give you a link.

There is no beta stuff or linux binaries on sourceforge (except the source ;)).

Let me know what you think about it, and if it's clear enough?

Perfect enough for me! I am just going to change FMAIL_REPLACE_DRIVE to /, and all the paths should work! My Linux layout was built first, and my Windows structure(s) mimic what my Linux layout was - so I could use dBridge in DOSEmu or dBridge in Windows XP 2 months ago when I decided to switch from GoldEd to NNTP (as I use it on my iPhone too).

You mention you have a 64bit binary for your system... I only run 64bit CentOS - do you have a URL for that one?

Also a TEAR question... if my NNTP server or (soon to develop) my NNTP client add the tear and origin, is there a flag for FMail to re-tear if I want it, or not to re-tear if I don't want it to?

I do not have all the "C devel" framework on these servers, as almost everything I run binary or I write it in my MPL language.

I put them online here:

http://vlzn.nl/fmail/files/FMail-lnx64-2.1.0.18-Beta20170815.zip

But they are optimized and dynamically linked for my system and processor. So it would be pure luck if they work on your system out of the box. If it doesn't work, you can try to install the right library versions on your system, or wait for me to produce some statically linked binaries...

Btw: My system:

openSUSE 42.1 x86_64
kernel 4.7.5
gcc 4.8
glibc 2.19

Also a TEAR question... if my NNTP server or (soon to develop) my NNTP client add the tear and origin, is there a flag for FMail to re-tear
if I want it, or not to re-tear if I don't want it to?

Yes. Search for "ReTear" in FMail.txt for the details.
