I tried to do this for a time. Of all of the servers I have ever experimented with or run seriously, by far, running a mail server was
the least fun of all. I gave up. Most of the headaches were that
updates to the mail packages often break your current configuration.

Good luck if you try to do it. The overwhelming joylessness of it is something I remember well. I like having my own web server, for

This kind of jells with my 'danger Will Robertson' alert/vibe that came to me when I last pondered this idea. No worries I won't be looking at this anytime soon. But I do recall a kind of 'email server in a box' idea you could
download and install that did most of the painful work for you...

something I remember well. I like having my own web server, for
instance. Gopher. This board only I use.

Gopher and Webby thank you for your ongoing support and love :)

Tres strange. I thought I had them disabled. Oddly they play havoc
here when they come back in. The quoted lines get <cr>s instead of
regular line wrap.

I wonder if its actually being caused by editing multiple lines.. that
is, if I run off the end of an existing line then delete it and rewrite something over the end again. It keeps both maybe? Ponder... will have
a look.

Still this one can serve as a testicle to see if they've been sorted or not. Doesn't look like editing over length lines had any effect on previous messages although the soft crs ended up in strange places.

Yup, this one looks good on this end.

Hmmm so its been inserting a soft <cr> at each line wrap. Re-editing lines
may have pulled the odd one back into the middle of a line and added another
to the end, but thats still a little unclear.

I think I've got all the located config files, and they were many of them spread all over in strange places, modded not to use them.
