ZxMail updated to v1.0.18

Fixed since v1.0.16:

TOP command still had an incorrect behavior in some instance fixed, now pmmail remote control works with it. SMTP would not allways correctly return mail to proper recipient (when mail had no proper origin) corrected to send in global mailbox.

This is an essential update, We recommend that you update to this level ASAP.

ZxMail Server is a full POP3 and SMTP Server.

The main features of ZxMail Server are:

- ZxMail can pull email from other POP3 accounts and redistribute it to a domain by the username or to specific users on any domain.
- ZxMail can forward mail to internal or external mailboxes.
-ZxMail supports multiple forwards and chaining of those forwards (meaning if a message destined for A and A has a forward to B and B has a forward to C the message for A then goes to C and A can have other forwards).
-ZxMail supports multiple domains with no limits
-ZxMail can route email through another SMTP server to save on bandwidth
-ZxMail is multi threaded for maximum performance.
-ZxMail supports IP filtering to block or to allow connection based on an IP address. -ZxMail supports SMTP AUTH command with CRAM-MD5, PLAIN, LOGIN mecanism.

An Opensource OS/2 Petition to IBM

Marco Radossevich (patchwork@libero.it) has started "OS/2 is Dead, Long Live to OS/2!" petition to IBM Corp.:

Well, IBM joined Linux...

If they *really* want support the OpenSource community they should relase the code of OS/2, due to their development stop. I think OS/2 source should give us many interesting knowledge, as we can revive the development scene around this cool OS.

Well, this isn't first petition to IBM about OS/2. In this case I remember our initiative http://os2.ru/voice/petition/index.html.

I think that opensourced OS/2 is unreally because it contains some 3rd party companies copyrights for example.

Maybe IBM will take this voice of people into considerations??
