IMO the worst thing about Arachne is the documentation. OTOH Arachne itself is so wonderful that I'm learning to live with the lack of documentation. And this conference list is filling in the gaps very nicely <G> > In arachne.cfg you will find these 2 lines > which are (by default), commented-out. > ;AfterPOP3 smtp: > ;AfterSMTP file:mail.htm > Remove the ';' to 'enable' either one (or both), of them. For the time being I have changed these to AfterPOP3 file:mine.htm AfterSMTP file:mine.htm to take me back to my personal control page. Now to see whether it works... > 1) when we send just the one outgoing message we are > currently viewing/editing. We are now on the outbox with the > remaining uinsent messages shown. (not an empty outbox) Understood. But I feel that may not be useful. Certainly there are unsent messages but we have chosen to send only one, probably because it was especially urgent, and we likely aren't interested in sending others at this moment. > 2) when something goes wrong with the 'Send unsent mail' function. A message such as "Unsent mail still remaining" or "Send Mail Aborted" would do the trick, and would be needed ONLY when something went wrong. What I don't need is that a successful upload of mail is followed by Arachne saying "HERE! LOOK! ALL MAIL HAS GONE! OUTBOX IS EMPTY!" I can very well assume that a lack of error messages to the contrary is an indication that the upload has been successfully completed. > 3) just out of 'curiosity' that everything went > right and that all messages *did* get sent ;-) Yes, well.... and do you want verification that all the email has been successfully delivered? Or are you content that the Postmaster just returns the undeliverable ones? > As to POP3 and SMTP going into history.lst > I will look into this and get back to you.
