----------
Thank you Christoph for the clear responses.
That port 25 thing is still a problem when folks use Telnet to
create fake mail. Goodness knows, there's too much "real" spam, but I
didn't want to add to the burden. So far I can't see a practical need
to open it up on MSK, even though it is possible to write scripts which
mimic what an smtp exchange would do (but golly, why bother when there
are full smtp clients available). I run into the blockage while teaching
classes and we are dealing with smtp details; it would be convenient for
us, but we can use other methods. I'm living with my own decisions.
Sometimes the MSK engineering team is out of town, or out to lunch,
those being normal activities, but I do try to listen and often agree.
Zmodem isn't in the plans for MSK, sorry. Christoph has carefully pointed
out how to run Zmodem while within Kermit and that's great.
I hope that in this particular thread the MSK source code is now
in hand and being scrutinized for local embellishment. That's one reason
we publish it.
