Please backup your existing version of Spinmail first
before proceeding.
----
A lot of effort has gone into making the install as easy as possible.
What's new in 2.2
-------------------
Support for Wingate
Added mail queue maintenance (Maint Menu)
Improved performance of NNTP News Server.
Added Options setup screen
Validated support of MS-Exchange internet connector. Now you can front
end Spinmail to your Exchange server and use either UUCP or POP3.
Added Group support of Smartmail Box(tm) users. You can now direct
any email address to 1 or many mailboxes on your system (List servers
etc)
Poll.pif
--------
This is located in your install dir. If you are using UUCICO (default)
you don't need to change this. If you're using anything else as your
UUCP transport, you will need to change this. If you installed on
Windows 3.x or NT then run pifedit. On windows 95, use Explorer to
locate the poll.pif file, highlight the entry, then go to File,Properties
and change it as required.
Remember to setup the FX enviorenment variable if you use UUCICO
In your autoexec.bat file, set the following
SET FXUUCP=c:\Spool\static
** Note there are NO SPACES in the above

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software
to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of SpinMail must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"SpinMail is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of SpinMail."
SpinMail is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using SpinMail and continue to use SpinMail after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment of $20 per user to the author. The $20 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer for one user at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of SpinMail must register and pay for their copies of SpinMail within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting the author
Anyone distributing SpinMail for any kind of remuneration must first contact the author at the address below for authorization.
