BinkD IPV6 Linux

[mark lewis]

i know this is old but there is something that should be pointed out...

BTW: Sending arcmail in an unsecured session is not really supposed to
reach the destination. :)

Why not? As long as you have an unsecure directory for unsecure mail
to go to, I dont see the problem Is there something in the FTSC
protocols that say it should not do so?

AG> Because usually tossers will not process arcmail from the unsecure
AG> inbound?!

if you are using arcmail to mean echomail, this is true... however, archived
netmail should be tossed from the insecure inbound or else how would a NC ever
get an application from a new node? ;)

Still, most tossers will not do that. I know mine wont. I do however check
the unsecure inbound several times a week.

Why should a new node send a netmail in archived form? He can easily send it
uncompressed?! At least my system is listed with the MN flag which according to
FRL-1003 means:

MN No compression supported

| NOTE: While FidoNet nodes usually exchange mail
| using a variety of different file compression
| formats negotiated between individual systems, the
| presence of this flag indicates the INABILITY TO
| RECEIVE MAIL compressed using the SEA ARC version 5
| compression format and/or named according to the
| ARCmail 0.6 mail bundle naming method. This is, by
| convention, the most common mail compression format
| in use within FidoNet. The presence of this flag
| would normally indicate that all mail should be sent
| uncompressed unless there is some overriding
| arrangement with the receiving system.
