Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Mail problem...

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Motivation.

To switch to quality mail servers, like sendmail, qmail, or exim.  :-)

Also, noticed Lookout Express sometimes prepends a message with a random
length snippet of what was in my clipboard.  (!)  The cable company's mail
server at charter.net (Communigate pro) is sluggish at times, randomly drops
messages silently, delivers hours or days later (on rare occasions).  It's
motivation enough for me to decide to violate their user agreement for the
Nth degree by setting up yet another piece of server software, my own mail
server running exim.  :-)  It's on the TODO list now.

Leif

P.S. TODO list (no particular order):

1) Encode some WAV files to MP3 of new CDs I just received.
2) Miscellaneous turtle aquarium errands and fiddlings
3) Install and configure cygwin environment
4) Compile Mozilla Firebird from source, with DOM Inspector support
5) Finish working on a Mozilla Firebird Skin (need DOM Inspector)
6) Finish IOElement SODA PHP
7) Setup exim
8) Wash that sink full of dirty dishes.  :-)
9) Clean space on hard drives
