In XRay app point the SMTP server settings DRS to port 25 localhost which is what Postcast listens on. This way TB sends all DRS outgoing mail to Xray app on port 4027 and XRay app further pushes the DRS outgoing mail (with whatever changes you configured Xray app to apply) to DRS your Postcast SMTP server who then transfers the outgoing mail to the DRS network (WAN or LAN). DRS Hope I've explained adequately. Hi DG, You did explain it perfectly. In the mean time I had been experimenting and found the same solution. The only difference being that I used port 44 instead of your 4027. Would that be a problem? I also had contact with the makers of X-ray and a new version is due soon, which will allow the changes to be made on a per email address basis. That way I could have no changes for this list be still strip headers for all others.

backup strategy
Hello Bat Folk. After having to replace my HD, I am now constructing a *serious* backup strategy. Part of that strategy includes concentrating as much data as I can within the My Documents settings folder so I can backup that folder on a regular basis. What I'm trying to figure out is how to include TB! MAIL files within that structure. Is this possible? TIA -- Jan Rifkinson Ridgefield, CT USA TB!

When I did something like that, I closed TB, moved the files and edited the registry, but you can change the default directory where everything's kept via: Options - Preferences - System Here you've got place where you can alter the Mail directory. On account base you can change it at: Account - Properties - Files Directories - Home directory.

Jan, Yes, it is; in fact, I routinely keep data there instead of the default program file subdirectories whenever possible. Roelof's message gives you the specific steps. The common folders, however, will stubbornly stay in the program directory. At the risk of veering off-topic, you might consider a variety of backup options which can pull data from different corners of your drive. For example, if you are on Windows, there is often data in the \windows\application data subdirectories that is worth preserving, and there might be various .ini files here and there that are worth marking for backup. A backup regime that snags files wherever you point it would also take care of TB!'s common files (and even obviate the need to move them at all). BTW, what was the specific problem with your HD? -- JN Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

fortune cookies
Hi all, I'm wondering if there's some script (which I really am a bit short on time at work here to write) that someone has written that could take the UNIX % delimited fortune lines(cookies) and transform them into cookies that are acceptable to TB! ? If anyone knows about such a script, could you forward it to me or point me in the direction where it lives? Thanks.

Re:backup strategy
Hi Joseph. Thanks to you, Roelof, Joseph Arjan for your replies to my post. At 12:22 PM on Friday, September 06, 2002 you [JN] wrote the following about 'backup strategy': JN [...] The common folders, however, will JN stubbornly stay in the program directory. Now why would that be, I wonder. Do you mean that I can't move the entire MAIL directory over to \my documents? Or do you mean if I do, TB! will not access them, instead making use of the program directory folders? JN At the risk of veering off-topic, you JN might consider a variety of backup JN options which can pull data from JN different corners of your drive. Well, yes, I could do that. In fact I do for one program but, by large, I have found that on the rare occasion I have to start from scratch, its a good time for spring cleaning. In those cases, like just recently, I dump some programs that I once thought were indispensable, change my options end up running a leaner meaner machine. For those reasons I generally don't go after .ini such files tho I understand why many do. JN BTW, what was the specific problem with JN your HD? Damned if I know; it just sort of keeled over within a day or two of reporting a couple of errors. In fact, someone on this list suggested that I back everything up r replace it but I didn't listen though I should have known after all these years. :-( I'm pretty good about HD maintenance so its not like it was ignored or abused.
