In Russia, Amiga is very rare and very expensive toy. I apologise in CIS maybe 1 or 2 geeks :)

Currently I'm not, but in the long run I want to run it if possible under UAE on one of my Raspberry PIs.
This is not because of the lack of real hardware, but more to protect it.
My hope is stil that Mirko Viviani will release this year a new y2k fixed version of GMS Mailer. Otherwise I would need to rely on Trapdoor.

Trapdoor is available on Aminet, but it requires a license file. I'm
not sure if there has been a generic license file released, though. Whereas I do not have contact to Max, I do have contact to Mirko,
author of GMS Mailer. So, chances are better to have a license key
free version of GMS than of Trapdoor.

Well if you can arrange for some of us to have keyfiles arranged, I'd sure appreciate one. Haven't checked out GMS yet but it looks very interesting indeed.

You should be able to grab it from Aminet, if not, I'm sure I have a copy of

If you are running in emulator and have a shared filesystem between the Amiga and the host you also have the possibility to run mailer and tosser on the host
system. I'm running Binkp and Crashmail in Linux and NiKom can read the message
base through the shared file system.

The rPi is such a great device. I was never able to get the Amiga port of
binkd running properly so I compiled binkd with amiga style outbound support
on a pi and connected the pi to my Amiga via a null modem cable and using
some scripting mail in now flowing without issue.

I really should see if I can compile the latest binkd source so that I can figure out why binkd never ran properly on my amiga :(

It it on Aminet but requires a license. Not sure if they still produce
license for that. BTW, my CNet BBS is at necrobbs.strangled.net:40 Thanks

Have you tried the amiexpress.co.uk files area? Those guys have a crazy
amount of amiga related bbs files and might have a key for it somewhere.

And if your running you system on a real amiga, I can up with a way
of using
binkd on a pi and having it pass files, both inbound and outbound
stuff via
a null modem cable and some scripting. I could never get the Amiga
build of
binkd to work.

There was several versions of Binkd available under the name AmiBinkd but they were all terrible in terms of memory leakage which eventually brought the entire system down. I tried them all and the last one, v9.04 I believe, did not
perform any better. The source for this version was never published and I believe the person behind it tried to charge money for it for a while, hence it
was removed from Aminet.

Too bad. Maybe it's time to dust off some old amiga programming and give
this a crack.

Your right, no pun at all. I pulled out my old Amiga Programmers Handbook

Actually I was referring to "crack" - as in, sometimes, with abandonware one has to crack the registration codes in order to use the program as there is no legitimate way to register it.

Software pirates use cracks all the time on live software - which is NOT what I was implying. Much/most Amiga warez are abandonware - in many cases the developers are taking the dirt nap. BV(=

I here ya. Almost all of the amiga adf's out in the wild are the pirated versions of the software since making copies of said software is just
easier.

I'm completely down with cracking something that has been abandoned just to
get the functionality out of it.
