Hello acmailers ... Reluctantly, I have concluded that I cannot restore www4mail at szs.net.
I had originally hoped to get www4mail back up last August ( http://www.mail-archive.com/accmail%40listserv.aol.com/msg02531.html ). Since then, my plans have been obstructed by poor health, pressure of work and the economic recession. I have no spare time now, and I need the www4mail server machine for other, more urgent projects. I started www4mail at szs.net in January 2007, and kept it going until July 2010. In the end I was overwhelmed by persistent abuse, but I think it was worth the effort, and I don't regret doing it. If anyone else would like to set up www4mail, the original source code is still online at http://users.ictp.it/~onime/www4mail/www4mail-3.33.tar.gz . You will need a server running under Linux (or one of the other Unix-family operating systems). Root access and some experience of server admin is essential. You will also need an advanced understanding of Perl (the original source code is large, dense, and has no documentation at all). My version of the www4mail code was modified slightly to run under Debian Linux on a virtual private server. I had very few technical difficulties - just a few small problems at startup, but after that, www4mail functioned autonomously for most of the 42 months of its existence. Special thanks to everybody who helped with advice, feedback and programming tips. ::: SZS ::: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address lists...@listserv.aol.com with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.
