Hi! Richard,

Yes, it is very good. FMail is working wonderfully. It has only a few weak
spots specifically with its netmail handling, due to its history being tied to
the FrontDoor mailer, but that's fairly easy to work around.

I have an idea in mind to get around that, as I'm not happy with the NNTP
server in any case. I initially tried a JamNNTPd build from a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
installation I have. It produced errors. I made a new build in this Xubuntu
(X'u) 14.04 LTS and it failed with different results.
So I did a '360' and re-used the build I did for Puppy Linux 4.12 that I had
been using in my VirtualBox (vBox) VM for over five years, and I've been using
that in this X'u for the last 2-3 weeks. Going by the junk the server seems to
throw into posts occasionally, that seems to not be the ideal option either.
At this time I'm considering going back to the one NNTP solution that I really
enjoyed for so long, by reactivating my old vBox. This time as a point config.
:)
Cheers,
Paul.
... No sense in being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.
