I agree with you too, but Shawn will have to write two scripts. " Use .NET for Win32 and Perl/PHP for Unix-like system. "
If he wants to do it like this, go ahead, everyone will be happy hehe Fred -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Anderson Sent: 28 avril 2004 12:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: Xmail reports -- anyone have a wish list?

Hello, |Making your software platform independent would be awesome, I mean that |having a perl script or a php script would make linux and |win32 folks happy. NO! To run PHP or Perl on Windows is a suicide, for security and performance reasons. With a lots of pain I'm very carefully runnig Perl for SpamAssassin and really are not happy about it. And I have a separate server just for e-mail services. For small hosting solutions, where all is running on single machine, this would be impossible and a security risk. Use .NET for Win32 and Perl/PHP for Unix-like system. Don't try to mix the words. "Platform independent" is from the same litter as "One size fits all". Does not fit comfortably anyone and does not run properly anywhere. Even XMail has some issues coming from the multi-platform strategy, for example with DNS resolution. -- Michal Altair Valasek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Altair Communications - web hosting, web design, application development ___________________________________________________________________________ http://www.altaircom.net | PGP: 0xC4F3579D | Phone (support): +420602137341 When it's inevitable, relax and enjoy it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
