    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Tue Jan 2 16:38:15 2024
    Hello All!

    Please note that the Elist system ONLY can accept submission files directly to
    2:25/21 and NOT Netmails or even emails.

    You do not need an account on the system to do this, just let your mailer send them DIRECT to 2:25/21.

    Any sent any other way will be ignored.

    Sorry this is because I cannot find a way to get Netmails to work on my mbse BBS system which uses the Jam message base (no other txt message formats supported).

    How ever if you know of code (written that can / does use a C calling interface
    (or might do so) please let me know with details and where to get it and any documentation.

    I have looked at code written in Basic and Pascal but annoyingly, none so far supports the JAM message base.

    Note that my system runs under Linux but (Free) Pascal and Basic compilers are available on it such as FPC and FBC (Free (Pascal / Basic) Compiler).

    Here:

    You can find links to the JAMLib C library, and also links to the original jam api code in C and Pascal:

    I have looked at code written in Basic and Pascal but annoyingly, none
    so far supports the JAM message base.

    I have written a Python class for accessing jam message base files. That isn't totally finished or polished, but is working enough for accessing the jam base files readonly...


    Bye, Wilfred.
