- Features added in version 3.2 12-18-2000
-
- Attempting to fix the relay errors that some users have as well as
- trying to fix buffer overrun errors. Thanks to Keith T. Adeney for
- help with the relay errors. I am releasing this version as an
- untested beta. Please provide feedback.
-
- Features added in version 3.1.1 03-19-2000
- ------------------------------
-
- Added bugfix suggested by Todd Brannam. This bugfix was sent before the
- release of 3.1 but for some reason was not added. Thanks to Todd for sending
- the message again so the fix could be added.

-
- Features added in version 3.1 03-13-2000
- -------------------------------
-
- 3.1 Bugfix version. I believe the buffer overrun is fixed now but beta testers
- are needed. Also some cosmetic changes were done and the program finally
- reflects the new ownership by A-V Tronics and myself. Thanks goes out to all
- those who have sent mail in regards to bugs with Inetserv.

-
- 3.0 is the last version of InetServ by Thomas Kuiper
-
- Here is the statement of the author posted to the mailing list about it:
-
- I fixed most of the bugs and announced now version 3.0 of InetServ.
- I worked about 1 week fulltime on that new version due the holidays,
- and I'm afraid to tell you all this will be my last version of Inetserv for
- now. The supporting homepage will be shutdown (the file will still be placed
- at my server) since I'm not allowed to code other programs (contract between
- me and my new company I work for). I tested this version with Windows NT 4.0
- (SP4) and it runs a lot of more stable and better now. I'm not sure if it runs
- fine with Windows 95/98. I'm unable to test that. I'm still open for
- your suggestions and questions via email but I'm unsure if I will publish a
- public version after this 3.0, which is kind of final, but still can get a lot
- of features. You can get the new version from the site as well as the source
- (including the service source code now and a tool to convert your userdatabase
- from 2.x to 3.0). I added mailing list support to Inetserv (I'm unsure if it
- really works well) it requires RelaySupport beeing activated. You see in the
- options "Use DNS Lookup" but this wont work. The mailing list in a simple
- text file placed in the directory "lists". See the file test.lst for example.
- There is no subscribe robot, you must add users manual. This is a experimental
- feature, like the webinterface, which can be run on a special port
- (use http://servername:portnumber/username) to get access to your mail via
- this feature. The telnet interface I added is some basic feature to give you
- the ability to create new Users via it. (Someone should make a documentation).
- Try "help" if you are in it and refer the files in the "telnet" directory
- for more info. Users need the T flag in general to get access and a O
- (operator) flag to add new users and such stuff. Well, this is all for now.
- Have fun with this and let me know any thoughts you have. I still remember the
- version 1.0 two years ago, and I'm prowd about 3.0 now and all the users who
- use it (well now its the only freeware server with basic list support for
- Windows, uhm). I never made money with Inetserv. The advertising stuff on my
- homepage did give me US$ 1,20. And they only pay if you come to at
- least US$ 4. Also nobody liked to be added to the sponsor dialog (which is
- removed now). So this last version is cardware. After Christmas I like this
- idea so you can send me a postcard if you like this program :) See the About
- Dialog for more info. My biggest wish is there would be more free software
- for Windows but I'm afraid that this will never happen and never such powerful
- like the programs you have with Linux. (why need windows if linux gives you
- the full house).
-
- Have a good 1999!

-
- What is new in Inetserv 2.2.0?
- I fixed some problems with data command (it was not terminated correctly),
- thanks Devon :) . I'm working on function named DoMXQuery to read the MX-entry
- of a NameServer, but the function doesn't work well yet, so I need some extra
- time to make InetServ routing able. Until this comes, you can use the new option
- in the mail server I named "Route throw ..." In version 2.3.0 you'll send via
- another smtp server (relay). For now, all nonlocal messages can only be copied
- to another user directory :(
- The interface is larger now. And I added a change button in the User setup dialog.
- Changed some POP3 replys. Will be custumizable in the next version :)
-
- What is better in Inetserv 2.2.1?
- There was a really dangerous NULL-Pointer in the Registry Read Function,
- thanks to: El Andaloussi and Chris Keilitz.
-
- What is better in Inetserv 2.2.2?
- There was a big bug: If you have send many mails the same second, some mails were
- lost (during overwrite), problem fixed... Told me by many users...
