Hi,
the only 3 things I found lacking in WAI where;
1. No easy to use auto responder for the low level users, so I added one
using an existing auto responder filter.
2. The ability to display html email correctly.
3. When you compose a message the ability to add an attachment.
Other than that WAI was, and still is superb. I would love to see these
features in WAI.NET.
Other features which would be nice but not necessary are;
1. Easy to change the GUI. Either a different header/footer or some kind
of inc file that defines how the interface looks. Custom ones for each
domain would also be good so you can make the email interface match the
site it belongs to.
2. Automatically setup the postmaster@ accounts with the alias * so its
also the catch-all.
3. A field in the user info for an alternative email address.
4. Ability for people to request their L/P being emailed to their
alternative email address.
5. Ability to edit the servers.tab file through WAI. Maybe have
predefines options to aid setup by people who aren't sure what they are
doing. (like me when I started)

| What we need is a .NET assembly or XML Webservice that offers
| an easy-to-use
| interface to all of the CTRL functions and common tasks (eg. user
| management, change password, list domains, etc...)
My original intent was to create web service, that can be used remotely,
instead of connecting remotely directly to 6017, which may be blocked by
firewall, etc.
Now I think that the .NET assembly would be better for performance
reasons.
| Now I'm ready for the next big thing, an XMail WebMail
| Interface, fully
| written in ASP.NET. I'm working every day on it since last week, and
| already have the core functionality running, that is, listing
| and displaying
| the mailbox contents, and messages, even fully formatted html
| messages.
| This all in an outlook-style interface, very user friendly.
| Now I see your message on this list about your upcoming
| WAI.NET, and the
| fact that it won't contain a webmail client. No problem thus, because
| that's exactly what I am working on at the moment!
Excellent, we can join it together.
| But of course, the foundation of it all is a solid .NET
| implementation of
| the CtrlClnt, so can you please e-mail or point me to a URL
| where I can
| download the code you've already written, so I can see
| whether and where I
| can help, and give suggestions in an early stage.
Some my .NET XMail files you can download at

I've been wrestling with reality most of my life.
I'm pleased to say I've won.
