Okay, now I have questions... Why do want a mailer?? Because you have a dial up line and you want to pass that caller to your BBS??  Because if you have a dial up line and that is what you are trying to do then you can use Binkley Win/32, or any native Win/32 app coupled with SexPOTS and you can forward them to the BBS easier than any  other work around.

If your goal is top pass fidonet style mail and files around there are easy and cheap solutions.... Internet Rex, what I use, and BinkP... Internet rex allows up to 3 uplinks if unregistered, where as BinkP is public domain and is maintained and developed as needed .... Ohhhhh, sorry I forgot about the mailer  D'Bridge.  The DOS mailer with BinkP attached to it.  You can configure the BinkP part to send your mailer around.  At some point the author Nick Andre said he's working on a multi platform port.

MJ> Who is Andrea ?

Andrea is Hector's wife... Hector being the author of WC5 AKA WINServer..
She is the one that usually takes your money
