Hi Alan,

SD> bad track record of having a buggy mail system.

 AI> I'll take that up with James if there are problems with Mystic.

I want to clarify that I am not ripping on Mystic.  There were problems with its BinkD server for quite a while and lately I have seen a lot of issues with mail involving Mystic.  I have never used it so I am simply going by what I've read.  I know James will get around to fixing things.

 AI> I'm not sure if that is happening with all netmail passing through MBSE or
 AI> if it just happens with points.

When I last ran MBSE I had no issues with netmail but I didn't have any points to work with.  Perhaps this is an issue we need to delve further into.

I have been very slow with setting up MBSE again here with a lot of personal issues getting in the way.  I am hoping to do some work later today in getting the mail system set up.  I'm also working on getting DOSemu working right.  I was using the FreeDOS binary that DOSemu comes with but it wasn't working right so I downloaded a MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk and am going to try to get that working.  I have scaled down the number of doors on my BBS to about five or six (not counting my own Cheepware doors) so that shouldn't take long to fix.

It's always something ...

Later,
Sean
