- Some of the problems I have with cc:Mail :
-
- -You cannot have a personal mailing list that has addresses that are not in
- the Post office directory.
-
- -The DOS client has the most modal, most bizarre user interface imaginable.
-
- -The database has to manually be compressed. Take a first year college data
- structures class on ways in which you can make the database allocate disk
- space so that you can fully reclaim the space when a message is deleted.
-
- -The SMTP gateway is busted in more ways than I would like to count. In fact,
- most of my problems with cc:Mail stem from the SMTP Gateway.
