For any of you interested in external mail transport agents for dos,
other to the one built into insight: tcpmail, which comes with the
simple/barebones email solution, a but ago got improved to accept
multiple to and CC addresses, where it used to accept only one. For me,
it also has the virtue of easily sending/receiving to multiple pop/smtp
servers, ending all lines with the specification correct linefeed
carriage return combination, and permitting one to view the dialogue
between mail transport and the pop/smtp server. I like the latter,
because I like to see that the server really accepted each recipient for
relay, instead being fooled by my client not reporting any errors and
thinking this means the mail really got sent off. In this connection, I
load a handy little screen scroll utility in my batch file called,
buffit.com, that lets me see dialogue larger than one screenful.
Tcpmail uses the familiar Pegasus, ``glue'' format for the email's
eddress envelope.
There are quite a few of these around now - smtpop, fdsmtpop, tcpmail,
netmail (nm) - -. When I use ancient OSes and esoteric clients like these
I get a warm fuzzy feeling I am almost immune from most current email
viruses and trojans.
