Subject: ANNOUNCE: EMWAC Internet MAIL Services 0.60 for Windows NT 3.51 available This message is to announce the availability of a new beta version of the EMWAC Internet MAIL Services (IMS) for Windows NT 3.51. This is a collection of services for Windows NT which implement mail-related features. THE EMWAC IMS supports Internet standards SMTP and POP3, plus mailing list. In this version, the EMWAC IMS for Windows NT contains three NT services: the POP3 Server (POP3S), the SMTP Receiver Service (SMTPRS), the SMTP Delivery Service (SMTPDS), and the EMWAC IMS Control Panel Applet (IMS.CPL) plus a DLL containing common code (IMSCMN.DLL). The EMWAC IMS requires an NTFS partition and NT 3.51 or higher. I have met some problems with NT 3.50 mixed with ADVAPI32.DLL and WSOCK32.DLL from NT 3.51. Therefore, you have to run the EMWAC IMS on an NTFS and NT 3.51 or higher. You can read on-line documentation for the EMWAC IMS at the URL: http://www.emwac.ed.ac.uk/html/internet_toolchest/ims/ims.htm All these online html files are zipped into a file, you can download at the URL: http://www.emwac.ed.ac.uk/pub/IMS/IMShtm.zip to read them locally. The EMWAC IMS software may be download at the URL: http://www.emwac.ed.ac.uk/pub/IMS/IMS.zip ftp://emwac.ed.ac.uk/pub/IMS/IMS.zip where CPU_TYPE could be I386 for Intel CPU, ALPHA for DEC Alpha CPU, MIPS for MIPS CPU. Be sure you download the right one for your processor. The ZIP file IMS.ZIP contains the following files: POP3S.EXE The POP3 Server Service. IMS.CPL The EMWAC IMS Control Panel Applet. SMTPDS.EXE THE SMTP Delivery Service. SMTPRS.EXE The SMTP Receiver Service. IMSCMN.DLL A DLL containing common code. COPYRITE.TXT The copyright statement for the software. READ.ME This file, Summary of new features, etc. NOTE: I have difficult to compile the IMS.CPL on MIPS platform. Therefore IMS MIPS version is still 0.50. And MCTRL.EXE is still used in the IMS version 0.50 on MIPS platform. Features in 0.61 for SMTPDS =========================== * Bug fix for SMTPDS crash at 004118af.
