  • Win32 BBS Email?

    From Martin Kazmaier@1:340/1101 to All on Monday, December 04, 2023 02:21:00
    Looking to add email to my BBS. Either through a uucp gateway, or using a door. I tried tiemailw, but it doesn't work remotely, though it is a
    possible solution. I tried igate, but couldn't figure out how to tie it to
    the email server or the jam bases as it wasn't very well documented. Are
    there any popular solutions that work well and can be registered? irex works inbound, but not outbound. I had it working in the past, but it doesn't support nonstandard smtp ports as near as I can tell. I'd really like to be able to offer email, but my isp blocks port 25, so I need to use an uplink
    via my mx record and a nonstandard port locally. Any help out there?

    workaround: install a local smtp with a relay host to outside?

    I got irex working with this, I was packing netmail and had my gateway set up to use .msg netmail. All is well now!
